You might call that “physics glitch”, but we call it an “experimental FTL travel system”

-Paige Kerman, trying to secure funding for the space program, c.2023

I actually miss when these were KSP2's biggest issues

[Redeyez]

Glad i payed full price for a game that i can play in 2046

[keegangailushas]

Me still playing KSP 1 because of this.

Expectation: nice game with bases on other planets and interstellar colonisation
Reality: straight line trajectory out of the solar system when a kerbal sneezes

2023: "its early access😡😡😡"
2024:" its early access 😞😞😞"

From my understanding the release of a patch in december fixed most of the issues with launch and its reviews are slowly turning positive

[TH_INFIDL]

KSP 2 Gets an update which fixed it almost entirely: *Happy*

[Janno_]

The future of the game is currently unknown. However, it seems that the development team was fired, and currently, we don’t know if there will be a replacement or if this is the end.

[Aieou]

im still waiting until most of the bugs get patched, and the game gats optimised. then ill play it

[themikead]

and now they dont even have a developer working on it either lol

the effects of us not boycotting game companies:

They released KSP 2 way, WAAAAY too early. I started playing KSP 1 back in version 0.24.2 in 2014, and it was nowhere NEAR this bad, this sparse, or this broken.
I could forgive KSP 1 because it was their first attempt at a brand new concept for a game. At least then, they didn't hype us up with tons of features that aren't actually there at launch; when you got KSP 1, you got what you were expecting, and got what you paid for. You shouldn't be paying FULL PRICE for an empty, barely working alpha version of a game.

[Jupiter-uxew]

our expectations will begin seeping into reality, starting december. boy am i excited.

[trevorallen]

Increase expectations brings Increase proportional to intolerance.

[Officer_duh]

Me playing stormworks and still relating way to much:

[captaindookey]

I still play ksp1 because it's a masterpiece

[goldgamercommenting]

No worries they’re fixing

EVERYTHING

But at least ksp nostalgia is back from the dead

“Hello, all.

Gonna rip the band-aid off fast here: Kerbal Space Program 2 will release in 2022 instead of fall 2021. I
know this is frustrating, especially considering that this isn’t the first time we’ve adjusted our schedule.

We knew we were taking on an immense technical and creative challenge when we started this project.
We’ve heard time and again from this community that quality is paramount, and we feel the same way.
It’s not enough to deliver a bunch of new features – those features have to be woven together into a
stable, polished whole. We’re creating a reliable foundation on which players and modders alike can
build for another decade or more. That involves solving problems that have never been solved before,
and that takes time.

We’ve got a team of talented people working every challenge from every angle, and because I’m lucky
enough to get a front row seat, I can see the huge leaps we’re making. It’s killing us how much of this we
have to keep under our hats until the game is released. We can’t express how much we're looking
forward to soaking up all your reactions and discoveries on that day.

In the meantime, we’ll keep posting cool images here to give you a taste of what’s in store. We will also
continue to release feature videos and developer diaries that go more in-depth on specific areas of the
game, and hopefully those will help 2021 to go by a little faster. Stay tuned for a new dev diary coming
soon, as well as a new Feature Video this winter.

Thanks as always for sharing our commitment to making KSP2 as great as we all know it has to be.”

It won't be KSP without LOADS of blowing up
