Marek Rosa - dev blog: Space Engineers News: Full Source Code Access with Planets + DX9 Changes
If you read the post, they give instructions on how you can continue to play the DX9 version after they drop the legacy support.Well, ... I'm not going to be able to play after March, as they're discontinuing support for DX9 and Windows XP (I'm affected by the former, not the latter).
Typical. :dry:
This change will affect only 0.15% of players and will happen by the end of March.
They've sold their 1.5 million copies. They don't care about anything else. It doesn't matter where the game goes from here, they've made their money.
