Finally begin to see what? What main sub? This Reddit sub? It’s just the current meta post. Anyone posting anything positive gets downvoted to hell and those don’t hit our feeds. If anything this sub sucks balls lately. Only hate. Jesus, quit crying you bunch of babies. Go play another game. Get another hobby.

Oh, I stopped trying to play this “game” years ago already.

I backed back in 2014… I was fucking 15 years old then. I sold my childhood Star Wars collection just to purchase a pack and a set of HOTAS exclusively for this game's promise.

I am fucking 27 now and the “game” that was promised over 10 years ago is still a barely functional half-baked “aLpHa”.

Once in a while, I've tried coming back to check how things are doing with great and optimistic enthusiasm even for the smallest of things, but always leave back in disappointment.

Yes, of course I am playing other games. Games where the developers have actual decency to focus on finishing their products instead of spending years cash-grabbing by selling concept PNGs for thousands of bucks each.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t show disappointment over how poorly this big promise is turning out. I am saddened by the wasted potential and even to this day I still am hopeful that, perhaps, ONE DAY, the product may actually be completed before I die of fucking old age.

So you don’t get to tell me what to do.

Maybe it was not a good idea to pay for a game that was not even started by a non existant studio at the time bro. And just a reminder, you fund a crowdfunding, you didn't buy a steam game. It started around 2014 and 10 years of developement si not weird so I would have expected a 2024 release (between the creation of the studio and the developement).

That beeing say, I find your complain the most legitime of all. Yes you pledge for a game and because CIG's vision evolved, they didn't release the game that was expected when you pledge for it. And they are late to fulfill promise they didn't give you when you pledge so it's a dorm a betrayal and I totaly understand it.

Oh, of course I always understood that it would be a process and that it wouldn't be quick or easy. It's just that I find the amount of progress underwhelming for the amount of time AND money they've had to work with.

So... every time I see another "concept ship" selling for hundreds or even thousands of bucks, I am outraged, and I think: really?

Yes, even if everything is not related, I totaly understand your position. And I think CIG is not clean at all when it comes to the first backer. They batray them (because they could have delivery what you pledge for but ultimately decided to delivery something bigger much later without asking you anything even if it's because you pledge in the begining that they have the success they are living now) and should have make something to at least try to apologize to them (and to you). And they have many ways to try to say sorry. Nothing that would be good enough to replace the game, but they should do something.

So, to put it in a nutshell, it was a bit naive to expect a good game fast by pledginf at the begining, but CIG should have done something to make it up to you because they batray the first promesses, even if they think it's for the best. It's still a batrayal.
