Yeah, this is what I keep telling people but nobody wants to listen.
Once the snowball effect has taken hold, it's next to impossible to reverse.
I fully expect us to see SC detractors to vanish into thin air like those who voted for George Bush Jr. once the game launches and everyone is playing it.
It's fucking Stockholm syndrome with you people and that game. I tried it for a few weeks. You constantly run into huge game breaking bugs that, when you google it, people say 'yeah its been like that for years here is the 20 minute work around'.
There. I got that argument from you out of the way. Games aren't in alpha for over a decade and rake in half a billion dollars and not manage to crank out a working product. Thats not how this works. There are 2 options. Its a scam or they are morons.
This game could be the second coming of Jesus, Robin Williams, and Mr. Rogers all in one and it still wouldn't excuse the shit the devs have pulled. This isn't a case where its reputation will be fixed with an amazing final product. The moment you charge thousands of dollars for fictional video game ships in an unfinished video game that has been in development for more than a decade is the moment you cross a moral event horizon as developers and can never recover your reputation as anything other than leeches. This game will never have a good reputation, it could jerk you off to the tune of the Imperial March and it would still be worth less than a glamorous prostitute. At least a prostitute would charge more appropriately for their services.
