Hehe, Vaporware means the game is pretty much dead. No updates for a long time, no word on the game... it just slowly dies. Vaporware games are usually cancelled but some just disapear without a trace and are never heard from again. |

basically vaporware can be a game that doesnt exist and won't be released. how this relates to darkfall is that well darkfall will not be found in your local store or anywhere else. Playing: WoW |

I usually do not listen to board trolls. I am a registered member of the DF forums and have been following the game over there, it seems pretty active to me.

Essentially people don't believe Darkfall will ever be released. Personally, I hope it is, but I'm not holding my breath, Get it... vapor... breath...
Its vapor ware because its not really there and its a "disappearing product" get it? Anyway, Still hope DF comes out, and to everyone who keeps making a huge deal out of this game your all crazy. Its not worth it to speculate on if this game will come out or not, if it does good if not oh well. At this point I think we all have other things we could be doing than debating IF a game will come out, I'd rather be debating about what games to play now. |

Originally posted by Jerid13 Alot of people fail to realize though. That pretty much any game in development is vaporware until released. Because a game can pretty much be canceled at any point in it's development cycle. Remember Wish, Mythica, Dragon Empires, Gods & Heroes, etc etc. Pictures, Movies, Developer Journals, and even a beta doesn't really solidify anything. It's more or less like an extra layer of protection. Since the closer something is to an actual release the less likely it is to be canceled. Hence why I believe me and alot of other are hung up on things such as beta's, and creditable people having actually played a RC build or later. (IMHO of course) |

| Its a group of people against another group of people regarding which lackluster face-piece is better than the next. Discussing politics is akin to discussing gangs. It doesn't matter which one you pick, they're both crooks and cutthroats. The premier difference is defined in how they choose to disguise that fact. -Gishgeron |

All software is vaporware until released. Luckily for you, you will be able to test this game without paying one cent. Thus no risk on your part :) |
