I’ve only ever really watched this unfold with a causal interest, so whilst I’d like to know more, that article really said very little aside from a few dates and numbers.

More so, and the reason I’m making this comment, is the whole thing felt 100% like the second output of a GPT print. That format of “why is this the way it is? There at several reasons…” followed by a bunch of points that barely address the question, let alone answer it. That and the random bolder phrases.

Still, maybe is had more work put into it than Star Citizen?

Quite a lot of work has gone into sc (more work then exists in the game, thanks Chris Roberts), the problem is, and I'm saying this as someone who has played it with friends, there isn't a lot of gameplay loop to play. There are gameplay loops, but imo they are kinda... meh?

Which makes me sad. I really want sc to be more than it is.

Roberts is the king of focusing on the wrong shit. Build out the gameplay loops before tacking on dumb shit? Nah let's put milk and cookies in this bitch.
