      Who says CIG ever wanted to publish a game in the first place? It always has been a “Game Development as a Service”

              Maybe if you buy more thousand dollar ship packs they’ll develop faster? /s

              Have you tried elite dangerous? It’s pretty much in the sweet spot of high realism while not being overly complex (once you get the hang of it. High learning curve).

                If you buy a thousand dollar ship you get a second shop that opens with ten thousand dollar ships. I wish I was kidding.

                I literally did everything there is to do in Elite, bar maybe the thargoids. Ultimately don’t have anyone to play with since my friend group bounced off it. I’m one of those freaks that fly 99% in FA off.

    A third game? When I’m not even sure I’ll live to see the official release of the first one?

    They do plan to stretch this game out until what it depicts will be possible IRL.

      I think they’re waiting for all their customers to die of old age so they can just fully abandon it with no consequences
