1400 hours 22 minutes. No desire to stop yet.

I've not played SC, but from the videos I've watched I don't think it could hold my interest for more that an hour or two.

Quite possibly. Though generally such buyouts tend to be focused on assets of obvious material value, rather than intellectual property rights. Sadly, the history of games development is littered with cases where source code etc has simply disappeared when a company closed down. Or even when they are still in business, but no longer actively developing a game. Wikipedia has a 'list of commercial video games with available source code' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_video_games_with_available_source_code) which almost certainly isn't complete, but who's existence probably indicates that such availability (not necessarily in the public domain) isn't the norm.

Do we hear SQ42 being recked? Yes we do.

As for OP - there are awfully lot of SC players who 'wait for Jesus second coming' while playing inferior ED. Shrug and move on, it is his opinion, there's plenty of those on forums too. It can be true - after all I have said that ED won't satisfy everyone. There will be people looking for different kind of gameplay and for long time everyone hoped SC will be that. However, there's some strange ongoing logic around SC so I will leave it at that.

Edit: reading his history he seems to be truthful and no shill or drone or anything like that. He found something missing for him ED. He thinks SC can fill that role better. It's very valid opinion to have - if we skip all nonsense about game actually coming.

Well, nearly...

I have almost 700 hours in Elite, and am somewhat running out of things to do there.
I've seen a lot of this game from the outside and the controversy ie: development hell, scams, never ending delays, etc.

I agree with the OP post completely.
I was an original vet backer, sub-10K citizen, golden ticket holder and pledger. I sunk a few hundred dollars into the game and hoped for the best. Over the years the situation went from bad to worse to something I've never seen before. I eventually got a refund and backed out, waiting instead to see what happens in the long term
Bottom line. I just got tired of the lies, tired of the deceit and the excuses. I don't know if it's a scam or not. I don't care if DS is right or not. I do know that CIG have some real issues which they refuse to deal with and as long as people continue to fund them at the current rate, the issue will continue and the money will run out because there is no real governance or oversight at CIG other than whatever CR 'wants'. This is no way to run a business. Its no way to design and build a game either because it completely isolates the contributions of everyone else. And as for the 'community'... holy hell I've never seen such vicious alignment to extreme positions so quickly in any game community, replete with self fulfilling prophecies and delusions too. I really wanted to be part of the 'open development process' but that died a long time ago too.
So I wish them well. I won't be part of the drama going forward. I hope they get sense and wake up soon in order to produce something credible.. but I honestly don't think we will see anything in 2017. I think 2018 / 2019 is more realistic but even at that there is a fair chance the whole thing could just implode way before that... which I really hope doesn't happen because the ramifications for future gaming kickstarters and independent/self funded options would be horrific.
Honestly though - I cannot understand anyone who would pore more money into this endeavor at this point. I really think the kindest thing we could do for CIG now is stop the flow of money and force them to just knuckle down on one single slice of the game, with a defined scope and delivery date that they can all get behind.

More money = more delusions + more delays imho

I have to feel nervous there...if they will pressure CR and CIG they might actually start to deliver something....

Nope. I can't muster any belief it will happen.

Talking about context of Andromeda, I am really happy Bioware has gone back to buggy action in first game, along with free roam travel towards new planets. I genuinely loved SRV in first ME, and that's why also love SRV action in ED.

I have strong dislike of EA love for absurd MT, but overall ME: Andromeda is something I certainly will play along side with ED.

Well, lets not overhype this game, too ;)
Sure trailer looks cool, but you never know how bad/good actual game will be...

But there will be a game!

And I think the point is more it's stealing the thunder - maybe Sq42 will be David Lynch's DUNE to Lucas's Star Wars, but....
