A random thought
« on: November 04, 2017, 02:13:46 PM »

I was wondering why this game has never been on steam. I mean there are a lot of indie games there and i feel it would be successful there. What does everyone else think?

"Guys - I appreciate the thought, but I really don't feel like Starsector is ready for this kind of exposure. Please don't do anything on my behalf to make that happen - I think it could end up causing serious problems, both for the development of the game, the community, and, indeed, my mental health :) "

Starsector is unfinished and the difficulty is brutal.  It is not ready for Steam yet.  Given a year or more between each of the last few updates, it would probably hurt Alex.
