505 needs to look at other indie games like Don't Starve, The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth, or ALL the other indies and not. All have the same version on PC and Console. Its very ridiculous that we need to wait 2/3 years for an update. 18.99$ for a unfinished game are not worth at all.
that's probably because those games are developed for all platforms by the same studio. I don't know if that's a fact, but it's most likely the reason why.
in the case of Terraria, we have 3 different developers, each responsible for one version of the game (relogic - pc, engine - console/vita, codeglue - mobile.)
don't get me wrong, it sucks that we have to wait so long for updates, and hopefully the apology/revised mission statement post holds true, but that's the reality of it.
once an update releases for pc, the console and mobile devs then have access to the assets in order to port/re-code everything for the other platforms.
1.3 is a massive update. not only was a lot of new content added, but overhauls to the gui as well...and, idk, I really want it on console as well, because I want to give the moon lord a tour of all my builds as I kill him, and update my builds with all the sexy materials, but parts of it, especially the lunar event, seem like they might not be possible on at least the last gen consoles without some major optimization. I hope I'm wrong...
