Real or Hoax
I feel this article deserves some type of banner until April 1 to warn about the possibility this "game" being a hoax or viral marketing ploy. Since the game hasn't been released yet, then none of you truly know if it's real or not. A few videos and generic marketing fluff repeated across a bunch of websites doesn't prove that it is NOT a hoax! I'm not sure if it's a hoax or not, but it sure smells fishy! • Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 10:59, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * There's no evidence - outside of releasing April 1 - that this could be a hoax, and given how many are covering it, its very doubtful it is. As such, we can't say anything towards it. At this point, since people are paying money for it for pre-ordering via Steam, this would be a very costly hoax if there's no real product behind it. --M ASEM  (t) 14:47, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I suppose you could ask any of the 1,825 people currently in-game whether or not it's a hoax. Rubiscous (talk) 18:54, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Speaking as someone who spent a lot of time playing it yesterday, it is actually a hoax. This isn't a game, but rather an accurate scientific simulation of goat psychology. BAAAA Einsidler (talk) 02:32, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * That's a lie, a friend I saw playing it on their stream clearly called it a deconstruction of the "games as art" debate. :) --M ASEM (t) 02:33, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Cult Classic
So, the game is officially out for a day and people want to already label it a cult classic? Premature much? 77.64.180.237 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 18:29, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Platforms
Game devs have announced future OSX and linux versions, this does not mean the game supports them. Neither OS has distribution setup in steam, nor does the official goat simulator site allow downloads or purchases. Until it is actually released on these two platforms the citation is nothing but promises, and the linux gaming community has seen plenty of these. Please wait to add OSX and linux platforms until they are actually supported. Arwineap (talk) 19:44, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Reception
Youtube game reviewers are treating it like Game of the Year, calling it "so bad it's awesome/hilarious" & "one of the best sim games ever to come out of Steam Greenlight." Reviewer sites who give it a rating in the 70 percentile or less still recommend playing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:B580:4EF:79D3:8632:3746:B305 (talk) 12:11, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Goat Simulator DVD-ROM in Europe?
Clint Basinger of Lazy Game Reviews mentioned the European DVD-ROM release of Goat Simulator in the "Physical Releases of Digital Games" video on YouTube this month. Why is this game's European DVD-ROM release info missing? And, is it a Steam-Works (correct?) type game that needs an activation code when you get the DVD version? _Message from Cars4me. This is a random IP address from Cars4me's owner. I'm real. I forgot to sign in. I'm him ....for real! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.90.150.24 (talk) 04:06, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I've seen nothing to collaborate this random YT reviewer's commentary. There might be, but we'd need a better source to add that. --M ASEM (t) 05:52, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

iOS Version
So the iOS version just came out: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id868692227?mt=8 and we need to update the article.

Genre
Is the game seriously described as a simulation game by third-party sources? Because at least IGN's and Game Informer's databases list it as an action game. --Mika1h (talk) 00:59, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Probably a holdover from original writing. Made it action. (if anything, Extreme Sports may be a more apt category but that's even hard to justify). --M ASEM (t) 01:03, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Pewdiepie stopping development ?
Wasn't there some talk back in the day that the developer of this game stopped updating it because Pewdiepie made a scathing review of it? I'm not that up on video game knowledge, but I seem to remember something like that? Mr Blumenthal (talk) 21:09, 13 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Or maybe because they are focusing more on GS3? 32.212.102.239 (talk) 18:08, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Could be! I just seem to remember Pewdiepie saying the creator stopped updates because of his review, but maybe that was just Pewdiepie blowing his own trumpet! Mr Blumenthal (talk) 21:40, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
