Wild West Online News - The Wild West Online team has a new post on the game's Facebook page to let players know that the Early Access Alpha build of the game "just ain't ready yet". The news came after the development team ran an internal playthrough session. According to the post, developers want the next time that players enter the game to be a great experience and for that to happen, certain critical elements need to be addressed. "People want a game that's better & more complete, not just early".

First of all ,i commend the team for acknowledging it "ain't ready yet"however ,were they not saying that with the Early ACCESS proclamation?
So to me reading outside the small bubble,this is straight out admitting the EA gimmick is nothing more than a gimmick,they actually feel they are selling a finished product but just using EA as an excuse for failure.
In case i lost anyone in the last 3 sentences,let me repeat WHY would you need to post this if you already said it was EARLY access?Like do they feel a month or two or a few weeks of game development turns a game from EA to finished?
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
They needed an internal playtest to figure this out ? 0.o
But no worries, it's definitely ready to sell Early Access !
I'm sure some companies have used early access as a shield to deflect a failing games performance, but in most it seems like they are just trying to avoid a shitstorm of negativity towards their game if it isn't in a stable state.
A bit too aggressive? LOL...
It was a joke. And sure it can be adjusted but then they should also reopen their "refund window". If you significantly delay a game because of the ridiculous development timeline you should allow those folks who based their purchase on your stated delivery timeframe a chance to get a refund.
All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)
