I can't believe Facepunch did this to me

did they get anyone else?

me i just got the notification

funny enough i just signed up for the beta like this month soo..., weh

Got 56 hours on recently in the editor while learning the engine and prototyping some stuff. Unsure how many hours was "enough" to qualify, but it's pretty sad to get disrupted from the process. Seen some people on Steam discussions getting their access back, would be cool to continue getting experience with the engine instead of just waiting

They took my account after I spent $300 on skins and had 4,560 hours!!!!!!!

I got revoked in mid procces of prototype testing 😐
What even do now? I can't wait half a month

Rip. Wasn’t sure if it was inactivity or what but it seems like everyone is getting kicked out

I got the message but still have access? Is it going to yoink it in the middle of the night?

I am going to cry, I was going to bake some lights for a map today and can't even afford $20 for when the game comes out. 

i remember when you needed key for s&box... now its going to be released!

Is the revoke process still ongoing or can we rejoice?

Conflicted on this.

On one hand, it needed to happen eventually. I actually think that everyone should have lost access, regardless of if you have paid for skins, published games, played loads etc. Everyone should just have to buy the game when it releases.

But on the other hand, this feels like a blunder for content creation. The game would only benefit from more content on release, and a lot of people have spent the last week or so polishing their games, and would have continued to do so over the next week, ready to publish around launch (Myself included in this). A lot of these people have just been given a roadblock to doing that.

Maybe it would have made more sense to just revoke access right before release?

You can argue that people should just compile the editor themselves, which is the general consensus on the Discord, and I am not totally in disagreement. But it just creates more obstacles. For example, there is a 3D artist on our team who will now have to do this hacky workaround to continue to create assets for our game, a needless roadblock because they did not meet the criteria.

Or maybe the editor should have remained accessible to all, but not the actual game?

I will dickride fp all day long, but it feels like a blunder when content is crucial for this game.

I retained access,

We are #40K CLUB

We are fearless

I wanna cry guys

Nothing stopping you from downloading the source code and building the editor yourself to keep developing during this window. Lots of guides getting thrown around on Discord as to how to do that.

I haven't checked yet, but I imagine I will still have access to sbox, given my playtime and cosmetic purchases. But as mentioned in my post, other members of our development team who are less technical in that department will have to do this. It just creates unneeded roadblocks, though.

I am not naive to the impossible situation that fp were put in, no matter what they did they were going to have a horde of people hating.

return my game 😡😡😡😡

Sand And Box

they got me!

same even tho i had 73 hours

they got me as well. My to do list is too long, my fingers are itching!

You can build the editor yourself, just change the AppId to 480 and it'll work locally even without owning s&box.

mine got revoked today :(

rripp got mine ripped away
