Best moment

On “Natural Selection 2 "Gorgeous Update" Trailer”

Pre-ordered from you guys way back before the partnership with Wolfire and the humble bundles and all that. Looking back, couldn't be happier with that decision, you guys completely deserved the support.

u/Flayra replied

Thanks mate. I lived off community-bought ramen for a couple years, then more of us lived off community-preorders for a couple more.

Now we're profitable with a bright future. Thanks to you!

Does anyone know if there is going to be any kind of metagame in NS2 (leveling up, unlockables, ect)?

I preordered back 2010 and am just curious if there will be any kind of out of game progression.

We'd rather make the game as awesome as possible and have THAT be the reason people keep playing. Not interested in figuring out ways to enslave people to their computer just to unlock crap.

Beautiful shot!

One thing I've learned after watching all these people play our game - you guys love big hulking creatures. We will add more.

It's a risk of course but it *seems* like most of the players on the Epic store don't even have Steam. They are Fortnite players, many of them young, so we're hoping it doesn't hurt our Steam sales too much.
