It’s that that decade long grift disguised as a game?
I used to work with a guy who had thrown away upwards of $10,000 at this game. The last time it came up, he told me he had spent over $8,000, and that was several years ago and he didn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down. When I asked him what he got for that money, he showed me the one ship he has. He had one ship. The rest were still in development and wouldn't even be released for years.
He spent more than some cars cost, for a handful of digital space ships, 90% of which aren't even finished. I have no idea how to reason with people who do this sort of thing.
And even if the game released and was great, what would you do if you already had everything in the game?
that should be just the start, there should be something else to do beyond gathering everything you can. I hope they will add something like that.
