I never thought I would see the day, as Facepunch has announced that Rust [Steam] will finally leave Early Access next month. To be specific, it will leave on February 8th.
Rust has been in Early Access since December 2013, that's well over four years which is quite a long time. What people do forget though, is that games do take a long time to get finished. We've been spoilt with Early Access and crowdfunding with indie developers bringing gamers in as part of the process, something you don't usually see, which has led people to get impatient since you're actually seeing that development time in the open.
As for Rust, even though it's leaving Early Access, it's still not finished. They will be switching from weekly to monthly updates and I've no doubt this will continue for a long time. They've now set Rust up to have a Stable download and an entirely separate Staging download which will see regular updates for testing.
To quote what they said:
Think of it more like we're leaving Prototyping and entering Alpha. Obviously we don't consider that we're actually entering Alpha, this is an example. We're entering a more stable version of what we have been doing.
You can see their roadmap of what they still have planned here, a lot of which actually sounds really exciting. I'm especially interested to finally see vehicles in the stable version and the "Chinook Event" sounds pretty fun too.
Honestly, I actually really quite like Rust nowadays. It looks good, it can be incredible intense during a battle and it certainly works a lot better than some other survival games on Linux (looking at you ARK).
As expected, the price will be rising from $19.99 to $34.99. You can read the full announcement here and you can find details on our Rust server here.

Certainly not.
I'm just poking at the idea that while the GOL audience might prefer nude female models they might have a drastically different opinion if the post contained nude male characters.
In many cultures it's common to find outright prejudice against nudity while completely accepting deplorable acts of graphic violence. I have no problem with nudity whatsoever, in fact I think the common one-world culture is finally starting to prevail away from our dark age roots.

It's just people without clothes anyway. Who cares if they've got digital dangly bits.

From the Southpark movie: "Remember what the MPAA says; Horrific, Deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty words!". It's a bit sad that 20 years changed nothing.
