So, not only was the decision made some time ago, but the message was not communicated. ALL because they don't want you to run the server at home, and get all the secrets of the galaxy. Fact is, if they can put it on a server, than you can too, in your house, thus creating an offline variant. This isn't about time, money, or compromising the quality of the game, or having to make a separate game. The ONLY solution that was ever viable from the start, was running the galaxy at your house, be it on your client machine, or a dedicated machine in your house, and that would compromise only one thing, their secrets. In the end, THAT is the end of the argument. No amount debate or conversation will change that, it is obvious now. I will take the good out of this experience, THANK YOU M. Brookes, you reminded me of the true core of the gaming industry, and time after time again, I have been disappointed by developers, who promise to make a game that people like me want to play, WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS ONLINE, IT NEVER WILL BE, and then WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE to communicate those changes.
