Dec. 2024

Strauss Zelnick, as CEO of Take-Two Interactive, holds significant power and responsibility over the projects his company undertakes. When Take-Two Interactive acquired the Kerbal Space Program franchise, fans had high hopes that the sequel would uphold the legacy of the original. Instead, KSP 2 launched in early access with significant performance issues, missing promised features, and a lack of transparency about its development timeline. As CEO, Strauss Zelnick sets the tone for Take-Two’s corporate practices. His leadership directly influences the strategic and ethical direction of the company. One of the most controversial aspects of KSP 2’s troubled development was the abrupt closure of Star Theory Games, the original studio behind the sequel. In 2020, Take-Two Interactive reportedly poached Star Theory employees to form Intercept Games, effectively dismantling the studio. This aggressive maneuver led to mass layoffs, leaving many talented developers without jobs and raising serious questions about Take-Two’s ethical practices. Such actions not only disrupted lives but also undermined the continuity and quality of KSP 2’s development. The fallout from these decisions highlights a broader pattern of corporate indifference under Strauss Zelnick’s leadership, where the pursuit of control and profits came at the expense of human capital and the integrity of the project. This disregard for the welfare of employees further strengthens the case for holding Zelnick accountable in court. By holding Strauss Zelnick accountable in court, we send a strong message to the industry: corporate greed and consumer exploitation will not be tolerated.

better than KSP2 by a long shot. Unbelievably moddable. May require a NASA PC if you add too many parts. Kill little green frogs in a multitude of ways. Commit genocide under the cover of a space program. 10/10 would recommend

July 2024

This game started my whole career. It's the only place you can learn to eyeball orbital mechanics. Buy this, not KSP2.

May 2024

I was really skeptical about this game for a whole decade since it launch. I thought, what fun can you have with nerdy stuff like astrodynamics and astronomy? 🤓 I couldn't have been more mistaken. After watching martincitopants KSP series, I finally decided to give it a try, and I was completely hooked for dozens of hours straight. Yes, it has a steep learning curve, but achieving things in the game is incredibly rewarding and fun. When your tenth rocket, "Penis 4," finally achieves orbit, there's nothing that can top that feeling. Its lighthearted and silly nature definitely helps with grasping such difficult concepts. Where this game truly shines for me is in the different crisis scenarios that can happen. Saving your stranded Kerbals and performing emergency dockings are where the real fun lies. Plus, there's great mod support with thousands of additions you can make. Considering that the second game is basically dead due to a bad and feature-lacking start, and with the studio behind it closing, this game is your best bet. And it's actually still playing great - give it a go!

May 2024

The one and only complete Kerbal game. The one you should get because the second one is probably dead in the water with halfbaked promises. What more to say, other than i personally suck at this game lol
