That reason is I've watched roughly and near-exactly this trailer five fucking years ago. You can still find it on Youtube if you bother to look. Fuck it, I'll do it myself. LOOK.

And that isn't the only time, or even the first. I'm genuinely amazed that this grift is so perfect that the same vaporware can get polished up again and again, spinning its wheels in place, and people on the official forum and in Youtube comments say they're in tears about this.

I won't say I respect the hustle because I don't lick boots, but I am truly impressed with how powerful this grift is that it's self-perpetuating with that little to show for it over half a billion dollars and over a decade later.

E:D was an incredibly competent space sim plagued by terrible leadership

I had so much fun taking my phantom out into the deepest edges of the Milky Way, but frontier essentially abandoned the game in favor of some crappy FPS that no one wanted

That's what I meant by subsequent development, did they think the terrible FPS addon would bring in Cawadoody players or something

It's baffling. A prime example of how to completely alienate your entire player base
