Proposal Discussion Is Elite: Dangerous a game?

[Globusdiablo]

Or is it something more?

Please answer the following question to your best ability:

Is Elite: Dangerous a game?

Or:

Is it in fact an advanced training simulation meant to prepare the elite naturals hidden in the earths population for interstellar recon and habitation in a not so distant future?

N.B. This evaluation will not affect your inhouse ranking.

It's MORE. But a training simulator insinuates something to emulate.
Your poll is lacking an option I could choose.
I think it's somewhere between.

Definitely a game - but there are aspects like the planetary side which is more than a game or has the potential to be more than a game

What we think is real life is actually a large VR. When we enter the E: D "game", we're actually exiting the VR and entering the real Real Life.
Can you add that as an option and pass me the ashtray ...

Elite: Dangerous is a life. Can you add that option?

Hush, no-one need to know the danger that Xur and the Kodan armada pose.

You'll scare the natives.

 

[Matt168]

Currently neither. But it will be a game when it's ready.

 

[Oss133]

Not currently a game, no. Just an Alpha.


Too literal?

Basically it's a game... with the add of some simulation moments...

this should fit as good answer

I would lay off the tablets for a while ...

Do I win anything?

A game? naah, more like... A DREAM COME TRUE

Elite Dangerous is:

Going to be a big part of my life.
A game.
A space simulation.
Immense fun.
Something I wished for for 2 decades.
The biggest thing in gaming since Frontier Elite.
Something I would sell my non-existent soul for.
