I remember the first time I successfully landed on the moon and brought my kerbals back. It was one of my most cathartic experiences.
It’s sad to see the sequel get abandoned like this.

Especially when KSP has had such an active and vibrant community for a decade
I predicted KSP2 was going to be eventually abandoned and IG closed around the time of the launch, when the first industry layoffs were starting to happen. The mildest thing I was called for suggesting this was pessimist and it only got worse from that term. I suppose I was half right…so far.
Well another studio took over from Intercept Games to work on KSP 2 a while ago, right? Star Theory, iirc.
stay theory was shut down and absorbed by intercept games
Oh yes, I forgot it went that way…
According to the wiki page… “In May 2024, Take-Two announced it would shut down Intercept Games but continue to update Kerbal Space Program 2 under the Private Division label.”
They abandoned Linux support. Fuck them. It was one of the only games that did. Linux users were a bug part of their initial success, and they dumped us as soon as the money came in.
Is Kerbal Space Program 2 worth playing for someone who had fun with but was bad at 1?
Reviews are - not good.
In its current state? Not unless it gets heavily marked down (KSP2 does have better tutorials and a more accessible progression system).
With the studio being shut down, it’s likely that what we have now is all we’re getting.
Hmm maybe I’ll check on it in 5 years. Cos holly hell that price! Priced like a AAA game.

It is a AAA game. It stopped being an indie when Take Two bought it from Squad.
Not really, the first one was better in pretty much every single regard.
Nope. It’s hot garbage and I say that as someone with over 2000 hours in KSP.
It’s absolutely not “hot garbage”, but it’s definitely not done.
It’s terrible. They released an Alpha at full price. They changed how building rockets was done, for the worse. Performance was horrible even on my 3080 and aside from prettier graphics, there was nothing really new to explore. If it were cheaper, I’d be kinder. If it performed decently I wouldn’t mind but they released a POS of a game knowing full well KSP1 owners would buy it and it made us all look like suckers. They knew they released an incomplete game at full price and didn’t deliver. That sir is hot garbage.
I hope that they will share the source code on some kind of GPL to make this game not dead, shot down studio isn’t going to make any update and who will get the money?
Edit: they will still make the updates
Take-Two still receives the proceeds from the sales, depending on employment contracts probably pays royalties to the devs. Also, it’s their intellectual property so there could be consequences for leaking the source code.
