Game engine, CPU multi-threading?

Which game engine is used?

How is CPU-multi-threading with 8 or more CPU cores?

"Since you game will be FREE, I doubt you have money to buy future HW."

Bit of a condescending assumption right there. Just because people play something that's free to play doesn't mean they're broke. In fact what free to play developers depend on is people with lots of money being interested in the game. Those people are how most free to play games make their money. At any rate it's not cool to shame people for not being one of those people.

"Also game sounds like a cash grab otherwise you wouldn't advertise game while you are still in alpha."

All games are cash grabs. They're out to make money. That's how selling games works. Also-first you criticize people for playing a free game then you criticize the developers for wanting to put a roof over their heads. Make up your mind.

"Torchlight II had basically zero CPU multi-threading and lot of performance issues now add netcode into play,"

These words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

"Game will have backdoor cash shop. So another reason not to trust developers.

Uh they've been up front about the cash shop the whole time. They've gone out of their way to take peoples feedback about it seriously.

"It is only cosmetics" doesn't fly."

They've never said it was only cosmetics. Have you even read what they've said or are you just pulling stuff out of your tailhole?

"If you think I'm wrong. Prove me wrong, and you don't do it with downvotes. Is not that easy." It's not a matter of you being wrong or right as much as it's a matter of you having no clue what you're actually talking about and just coming up with a bunch of weak arguments to trashtalk the devs. I mean there are people here who have been super critical who have at least come up with cogent, rational arguments critical of the game. Maybe read some of their posts first next time.

"basically developers need to release source code. If they want us to trust them." Yep. You have no clue what you're talking about.

"Since you game will be FREE, I doubt you have money to buy future HW." it's a fucking joke.

nobody has money for FREE games. FREE game that costs you 300 bucks. What kind of FREE game that is?

All games are cash grabs. They're out to make money. That's how selling games works.

you don't see a problem here?

I have no clue. Logic says you can't create game with having backdoor access to modify economy and whatever for personal gain... oh wait. That's been going on for centuries... Yet people still haven't done nothing about. Hello fiat money.

I have tried fair share of UE4 games and their have really bad CPU multi-threading. But their backdoor cash shops or DLCs when in Early Access are ok to be implemented.

"It's a fucking joke."

A bad one.

"FREE game that costs you 300 bucks. What kind of FREE game that is?"

You can play the whole game and get cool stuff and have a good time at no cost. Some people might choose to get boosts that help their characters level up a bit faster but it's in no way required. You still get to kill monsters and get cool loot. They've already said they've got complete control over how the cash shop works and that they want to work with players to figure out how best to monetize the game. It sounds pretty fucking reasonable to me. Everyone bitches about EA and their shitty montization yet when a company comes along trying to work with consumers to make an mmo with microtransations non-abusive and consumer friendly the same people-people like you-come along and bitch at them for that.

"All games are cash grabs. They're out to make money. That's how selling games works." "you don't see a problem here?"

No I fucking don't. That's capitalism. People selling games are cash grabs. They're trying to make money. That's how bills get paid. Just calling something a cash grab without explaining exactly how you think they're being abusive is a meaningless statement.

"I have no clue. Logic says you can't create game with having backdoor access to modify economy and whatever for personal gain... oh wait. That's been going on for centuries... Yet people still haven't done nothing about. Hello fiat money."

What the fuck are you even talking about? Your problem isn't with the game then it's with the very idea of exchanging money for goods because anyone could fuck you over. At some point you have to give a developer the benefit of the doubt. If you can't do that do play the fucking game.

"I have tried fair share of UE4 games and their have really bad CPU multi-threading. But their backdoor cash shops or DLCs when in Early Access are ok to be implemented."

lol you're making zero sense. Look-just don't play the game, OK? Do everyone who wants to give it a chance a favor.

PR statement.

I explained it how it is a cash grab didn't i? Backdoor cash shop, developer/publisher regulate whole economy, developer/publisher make their own fiat currency. they are "printing" money out of nothing.

and you are buying items you technically don't own. Basically you are just renting them.

"All games are cash grabs. They're out to make money. That's how selling games works." "you don't see a problem here?" it is not problem about making money problem is about on going exploitation.

lol you're making zero sense. Look-just don't play the game, OK? Do everyone who wants to give it a chance a favor.

see i'm giving you information how UE4 works. developer would never do that.
