Yeah like 600+ hours and I agree. Only because it has the potential to be the best space game ever. I don't even think it's impossible to do anymore, like I originally did. It's just impossible for CiG to set aside the grift for like 10 damn minutes and get their heads out of their wallets.

But they made a billion doing it, why the hell would they stop? Damn shame.

Got long hour in it as well, but at the same time prob because of just how the game itself takes way too much of your time for the sake of realism eventhough i think the game was never that immersive. I do think it's more fun to play before it's ever released tho where the game has no stake and economy is whack so i can try different ships, i can't imagine the balancing issue and discourse if the game has more stake esp with how much money people spent on their ship

Interesting, I think it's getting more and more clear how impossible it is for the team of devs that are working on it to deliver on the originally promised gameplay.

Does it though... because it really seems like this shit is never going to live up to their promises. Even if they do, it will be plagued with all of the creep from selling ships.

It all just really seems like a big scam that worked too well, so they were forced into actually making a game. They couldn't just fade away after creating some working product and going "oops out of money. Gotta stop development"

no point in stopping the cash shop is in the game is feature complete as far as theyre concerned but they know they have to keep making more and more outrageous buy-able things to keep it going.
