Added that to the post, thanks.
I really really don't see why they don't make modding tools, it'll completely restore the activity in this game, probably boost sales 100% from whats going on currently and make people invested in the game for more than 1 playthrough! fucks sake, don't see why he doesn't do this.

The only reason I've heard was that he didn't think anyone else could keep the same "vision" for the game as he could. Which makes sense why he didn't release the source or turn the game over to anyone. But mods are 100% optional, so I agree that I don't see [i]any[/i] logical reason to not add mod support. Aside from laziness, I guess.

A console port would be more profitable, allowing a major new community to play the game instead of expanding the current one, which was probably what redgit was aiming for.
As long as this new content makes its way to Pc in some way, or is so minor its scarsly worth talking about, i'm fine with it.
Although redigit is pretty crap on the pr front.
At least Blue is not handling the PR anymore.
I missed the memo, what did blue do that was so horrible? Cash grab and then run off?

From what I remember, he was horrible at responding to the public, he leaked the game early, forcing Redigit to release ahead of schedule, and he had a questionable taste in poetry.

Can't be having a questionable taste in poetry.
That shit don't fly in Indietown.

And there goes my final bit of respect for Redigit and co
"Hey,we have a big fanbase on PC,let's get them all riled up by telling them something big is coming and then say we're gonna release it on consoles with new content!Boy oh boy that will work perfectly,I bet they'll buy it again!"

They did it because they wanted to appeal to a new, big community, PC gamers don't [i]have[/i] to buy it again on consoles. Also, note that space I left after that comma.
Well they just released a trailer for the console version. But only new content hint is at the end of it saying. "Oh did we mention the new content?" And that's where it ends.
I was only able to find the facebook trailer via their page. So no idea how to link to it.

"Speaking to BeefJack today, Spinks confirmed that the new content will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, but explained that the console version is being handled entirely externally."
great
good job, great decision
sarcasm.
So with other worlds, that 404 company do the entire work?
Ah, yes, that is really disappointing how they just give up the game to someone else. I would be fine with that the console version would get special content but just handing the game over to some other company is just... disappointing.
But sadly, that happens in the everyday game industry.
Well all chances of Terraria getting any form of mod API/tools are gone
as if there were any in the first place
It just doesn't make any sense to me. How hard would it be to just convert it over back to PC? I mean, assuming nothing's changed the XBOX version will probably be using XNA just like the PC version. How hard could it be to port it over and get a few extra bucks from PC?

Lol, surprise there. Redigit is rather unreliable really.

It shouldn't be too hard at all. Redigit is just pretty lazy and unreliable. And really terrible at customer relations as well...
I played the game when it was released. Did stuff change after the updates nowdays?
There was a handful of updates and one rather large content update which added quite a bit to the game. Then Redigit dropped the game while leaving it feeling too open ended to a lot of us.
I still don't understand why they didn't give it to another company and instead just got someone to make a console port.
Redigit wouldn't sell it to another company such as GasLamp because then he wouldn't make anymore money off it. He doesn't particularly care about his fanbase really. He just cares about making what he wants and dropping support for it as soon as he loses interest.
So he only cares about making money, you mean?

Basically, this is why they done, isn't it?
Are there any servers out there that are usually populated and NOT total shit?
Or better yet, any Facepunch servers?
I'm pretty sure the majority of us don't even host servers privately anymore, let alone public ones nor long term ones.

Well fuck. Console exclusive new boss.
I really wonder how they will pull off the controls on consoles. I can't imagine it by looking at the trailer.
