    I loved starbound early access but when they released it fully with a sloppy story slapped onto it, giving you a mech the first thing that happens and tons of dialog that can’t be skipped I noped out.

      Starbound was an example for how to not develop a video game. I feel like the have could have done a lot better if they spent more time trying to refine small parts of the game before building it out.

      They wasted so much time redoing work because they developed on poor assumptions and then had to go rip out back out when it failed.
