Oh. Hey. Guess what? Remember Starbound? Chucklefish has been pulling a Blizzard this whole time.
So I was playing singleplayer. Remember how I've mentioned my shitty net as one of the other reasons I don't do multiplayer that much?
A friend joined in. While I was playing. Single. Player. You know WHY Chucklefish can't figure out how to add a pause function? Because they can't figure out how to make a single player mode that isn't "host a server without TELLING you it's really online" mode.
This is some Diablo 3 horseshit right there.
That is fascinating on a whole new level of fascination. BUT I recall that starbound, before it's release was planned to be like that. A sort of MMO terraria. It isn't exactly that now, but still. Was never meant to be a single player game. I wish I could find the evidence, but they deleted their "road map" the moment they started deviating from it.
