Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I'm no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

This would have been so exciting like 9 years ago when they first released the FPS thing. I would also be excited if they said the game is fun now, instead of some random superficial animation thing that probably doesn’t add much to the gameplay.

I love the idea of this game, but even after a few years I lost hope. I can’t believe it’s still in development like 10 years later. Does anyone know if it’s more playable now? They had some ship racing and the FPS thing before, why haven’t they just thrown together a basic world yet?

Edit: it sounds like they have thrown together a basic world. Maybe it’s worth another try now? Can you have fun for more than a few hours and actually accomplish meaningful stuff?

They've had a "basic world" for a long time at this point, unfortunately it still doesn't go beyond "tech demo" levels of development.

Squadron 42, their single player game set in this universe, is supposedly nearly completely finished and coming "SOON™".

If Squadron 42 actually releases it would mean Chris Roberts has finally managed to start and finish a project without a parent company ordering him or taking away the project from him.

What the defense squad doesn't get here, is that when people ask if it's done they are asking if Squadron 42 is done, and it's still not.

I check this game out once or maybe twice a year which is more than enough imo. There are plenty of people playing this daily though who apparently can cope with all the bugs and crashes.

It's a grift, a scam, a goose that'll lay golden gameplay eggs just so long as those whales keep dumping more money on the project.
