Somehow I had guessed this was the way this was going to end up. Just forget it...

Quote from hazaky :

Who said version 1.0 was the final version? Not everything has to be like google chrome for example. It was released in 2008 and its in version 15 (correct if im wrong). Now that is a bit pathetic in my opinion.

I think its just fine having 0.6 here. Anyway, who cares what version it is. Its a playable and working game after after all. The version updates (small numbers, still updates) are just improvements to the existing version. There's no beta going on what so ever.

I hope this answers the question and i hope my understanding is correct of this LFS version thingy.

Edit: Would u rather like every version to add a 1.0 to the game version? Damn, this would look a little weird.

No, I agree that it's way too late for version 1.0 Like I said above - call it version 6.0. For a game that has been around for almost 10 years version 0.6 feels like something that has died? But I guess that's me after working with programming for decades... Pop in at sourceforge and find a project started in 2002 that is on version 0.6. Then check the activity level of that project. Just a guess - rather low?

And is this really still a beta? Does not feel like it to me - and like I said, I agree that Google Chromes numbering is silly - but it is for marketing purposes. Does not those rules apply a bit here?

Sure - it's not a big thing but I really got caught up on it while donwloading version 0.6B... Maybe that's only me

Seriously - this is one of the best racing games out there, but how many users are put off giving it a serious try as version 0.6 sounds like some early beta?

I remember trying LFS out the first time years ago when it was version 0.4 or something and I was actually not really giving it a fair chance as the GUI really looks a bit like a half finished open source project ported from Unix to PC (sorry that is my only complaint of this game!). I started it up and could not get the controls set up right and uninstalled it before realizing the gem that was inside...

Then a year ago I downloaded it again after someone praising it on some forum and realized that the in game graphics are actually really nice and are not that far off the big budget games, and the physics are naturally second to none etc...

As it is now this game it rock stable and has been on the market for ages. It should be version 6.0 or something by now! For newcomers that would feel a lot better - at least according to me (being a programmer knowing that a version 0.6 is usually just a tech demo ).

If the Google Chrome team would do their version increments like LFS they would be on version 0.3.21B or something - but they are at version 12 now Sure - they are a bit silly and Firefox are following their footsteps - but really, it's at least time for version 1.0 now? Or for the sake of it - call it version 6.0!
