Schwalbe:
That's cute.
Bronzium:
Prior to my whole PC-gaming addiction, I used to actively play a lot of Star Wars: Battlefront. The online mode does have a kick feature, and I've seen it used both in a good way, and in a bad way. I've been in servers where players were group-voted upon and kicked out just because they were bad at playing, and other times because legitimately they were being trolls. I've also been on the other hand of that spectrum as well, and know first-hand about the kick feature.
In my experience, kick-voting is just a tool that has too many cons to outweigh the pros of it. So it wouldn't shock me if Muse does not implement it (and hopefully they don't).
I know the whole matter has been thoroughly discussed by you guys, but I felt like tossing in my opinion on the topic as well.

Going back on the topic of steam sales,...
GOIO is on sale big and frequently. Right now, at the low price of $3.74, its 5 cents cheaper than McDonald's quarter pounder with cheese.
--- Quote from: www.fastfoodmenuprices.com/mcdonalds-prices/ ---2 Cheeseburgers - Meal $4.89.
Quarter Pounder with Cheese $3.79.
--- End quote ---
Point is, GOIO is a very accessible game. Pretty much anybody who can afford internet can afford GOIO. What are your thoughts on this? Should GOIO become even more accessible (say become free-to-play) or less accessible (maybe go on sales a little less often)?
Schwalbe:
I wish this game best, so I'm very sorry to say, that the latter.
I bought this game myself when it was not on sale, and in fact that was one of the key reasons I haven't dropped it after few matches with idiots who were doing some useless crap (aaaaaah, novice pubs), and even the more harsh moment, when matchmaker was first introduced.
Sometimes awareness of how much something cost you is a powerful thing, especially if you are a poor student with no way to get a job, because your university stomps on you as a gentle greeting, and throws a piano on your head when it wants to be a bit more direct.
I actually don't regret not leaving the game, I have fun, but I miss times when I could manually search the matches myself, choose whether I want to play with someone or not, and being forced to speed up with preparations as a captain, so I could easily explain plan and things aboard to novices without microphone.
Now I block people daily and I report people at least once a bloody day, mostly because I can't stand people who bought the game and sale for a joke amount of money and don't even want to fucking get what this game is all about - even if they don't mean to do so, they ruin my games sometimes which is abolutely unnerving.
I don't want votekicks, because I know I would propably kicked out of some ships.
But for Christ's sake, take it out of the sale. Give us some breathing room.

@Votekick
We need it. Or something similar because at the moment this is what happens:
>Come to lobby in ship with 2 friends (so ship is filled 3/4 people)
>You know each other and are if not skilled then at least willing to cooperate
>Wild captain lvl1 appears
>You and your friends use VOICECHAT
>It's not really effective
>You use TEXT CHAT
>It's not very effective
>You use PRIVATE MESSAGE
>You fucking guessed, it's not effective
>You either get the fuck of the lobby or have a ruined match
>GOIO y u do dis
Don't even get me started on shit what happens when you actually try to enter the game ALONE. Seriously the ones who go that path should abandon all hope and try not to scream in agony.
Don't get me wrong, I understand that we need to care about new players and stuff (especially stuff!) but if there's nothing for veterans to, at least partially, protect themselves from noobs they will either leave pubs or leave game at all, and possibly it's latter in the longer run. I think Counter Strike GO is a great example of game that is made 'entirely' for hardcore players/veterans* and it is a great success with growing player base. There votekick is a thing and neither I nor my brother (who plays much more CS:GO) did notice some noticable harrasment. More often it was a relief to kick that pesky 12-year old who begs for your attention with his Nazgul-like screeky voice.
*also it's a game that I actually don't like that much and I won't be playing - but many people love it and I can understand why, I'm just not that of a hardcore FPS player
@Steam Sales
Well, actually this game only caught my eye because it was so cheap (guuuuuiiiiilllllltyyyyyyyyy). I like the big(ger) playerbase but I hate encountering noobs, especially the type of ones mentioned above. Many times I said that noob-related stuff is important and we should figure it out but I guess we're run of time and ideas for that matter. I can just hope that people smarter than me are working to figure out how to sell GOIO on sale to benefit both players and Muse.
