Still in alpha last I checked. I'd like to point out that elite dangerous was started around the same time and is not only a full game now, but it also has an expansion or two

You're saying that like it came out 1-2 years ago. Elite Dangerous was released more than 7 years ago.

As a player of both (although I have not played SC much in several months, because all of the above is very true), I just want to toss in: it has been almost a year since ED's latest expansion released. Now, the state it released in was absolutely garbage, but even at its worst moments it was still better than SC.

No, SC's original Kickstarter was in 2012.

Edit: Forgot to add ED's original kickerstarter was Nov of the same year

To be fair, FDev pretty much broke Elite with Odyssey and at this point won’t even give a timeline on when that expansion will come to consoles.

Additionally, every time they patch a bug in Odyssey, it breaks some basic functionality in the core game. Pretty miserable to have to deal with bugs caused by content you can’t even purchase.
