&gt; It would be a shame if people willing to give it a try would give it up due to the poor quality of the initial release of a new major version.<p>I appreciate the intent but when, in the same message, you say:<p>&gt; Dwarf Fortress is basically a perpetual beta with lots of major bugs as it is, but especially brand new major versions like this one usually have multiple game-breaking bugs, including crashes, corrupted saves, etc.<p>you are actively dissuading everyone from ever trying the game.
