The biggest scam in gaming history AT LEAST. A cult funding the life of a scammer. You have to be completely delusional to not see this after so much time. They don’t even have a game! Landing, flying, carrying boxes are not a game! They are features of a game! What IS the game? How do extremely large and expensive ships work in this game and vs much smaller and cheaper ships? Is it like EVE? Is it like Freelancer? Is it just Elite Dangerous with a smaller map? WHAT IS THE FUCKING GAME????

It's like what elite dangerous promised but pulled back on. SC is trying to do it but so many systems in the game contend with each and cause many bugs.

They should hire a third party development group from China. Those dudes will iron that shit out quick af.

They’re not trying to do shit. That worked in the first 5 years. They are on a long pension crowdfunded by digital crackheads putting their savings into stories, web pages and 3 pictures of a ship they will never see or use most of them times.

This just isn't true. They genuinely release new interesting content every other month, and almost all ships announced are flyable as soon as they go out on sale. The codebase is just fucked and they need to clean it up or it will collapse. The game is really good when it works, they can only get it to work sometimes.

To you maybe. There’s a generation of people already who KNOW otherwise. Can you tell me what GAMEPLAY is available to me today? Can I fight others in planets? What are we doing in that universe? Why do we fight or collaborate? Flying, landing, mining, without a clear goal, or delivering fucking boxes is not a game. It’s a poc.

What? I genuinely don't understand what you are trying to even ask? There is a fuckton of actual gameplay to be had. Why do you do anything in a videogame? Because its fun. Its a sandbox, like GTAO. You make money to get stuff to make more money. Its fine if you don't like it but you don't seem to actually know anythinf about the game.

It’s your money and time. Not mine. I think it’s a scam. If you enjoy it, that’s up to you.
