Not really sure what games you've been playing but there are dozens of games out there where the best content by far is made by the community. The ARMA series has literally thousands of mods which vary in quality but the best of them are way better than anything that ships with the game itself. Cities skylines has a great modding community, as does the flight sim series to name but three, there are many more so I respectfully disagree with your post.

HDD... what's it like time-traveller, back there in the 20th century?
I thought Star Citizen was abandonware... Or was that randsomware....
Game is dead.

Good, just took off from Mars in my Panther Clipper and flicked over to auto-pilot. You?

What abandonware, OP?
Check steam's space sim list of top sellers, ED has been consistently on the top 5 sellers since release, and has 2 entries in the top 10, the regular editio nand the commander's deluxe edition.
It's still selling pretty well. But don't let actual facts get in the way of your rant.

Indubitably, my dear boy. Shouldn't be long now either. [yum]
Rant? I was asking a question. I don't recall ranting. Well... maybe if....no, actually, no.... no ranting.
I did check out the Space Sim list you mentioned, I saw the consistently top 5 game right there at number 6, just below No One's Playing, so er..... is that good then, I take it?

OP, I read this but I can only hear that line from the old The Cure song called „A Forest“, it goes:
„Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.“
Nice one. Oh and of course ED is doooomed, as some folks have pointed out already. Again.

Elite Dangerous is actually quite a lot more complex than many people might think. This is from AWS:reinvent 2015.
I doubt it will fit on any disk or non-AWS server clusters anytime soonTM or ever - and hopefully never get Abandonware status anyway
O7,
[noob]
You're not taking the ever improving compute power and storage density. It's not cost prohibitive today to put together 64/128 CPU power and storage arrays of 100TB or larger that perform really well. The bottleneck is likely going to be the internet pipe, but even that can be dealt with reasonable easily if you have a fiber optic ISP by adding more lines.
Look what we were running 6 years ago and ask where you think we'll be 6 years from now.
I don't see any obstacle other than internet bandwidth and even that may be better down the road as I've heard rumors of my ISP bumping caps up tp 10 gigabit.
I already have more than 100 TB of storage.
I don't see why this should be locked, this is a legit question. But AFAIK, the game is unplayable without the Servers of Frontier, so whenever the Support for the game Ends (see: ten year plan
Some would argue that ED is unplayable WITH the Servers of Frontier.
Seriously, though, I need to know how many TBs I need before I can download this behemoth when (not if) the time arises. Looking forward to my offline version of ED I signed up for way back at PB!
brilliant.
Make it rhyme now and sing it in a singsong voice.
you are welcome

air quotes
Is it me or have we seen this exact same quote a million times about every game ever since the internet began.
I bet there was someone saying, "This game is circling the drain, when the Dev's finally completely fail will we be able to play Air Warrior offline?" while their 300baud modem screeched in the background because their Mom picked up the land line.
No. No you won't.
It's a online game, get over it. Every game eventually "circles the drain" and gets dumped because of lack of profitability. Otherwise we'd still be playing Anarchy Online and Earth and Beyond. Yeah, yeah, I get it... Look how clever you are taking a shot at Elite... how refreshing. Here's a hint, if you don't like something (anything) you can simply walk away from it instead of trying to convince others of how much they should dislike it too.
Not to mention you'd probably complain that "Coffee Coaster the offline experience" doesn't absorb the Pabst Blue Ribbon fast enough so it spilled all over your tweed hipster pants.

You need FTTH. 5gb thruput. The Galaxy is 10 Tb but its dynamic as you know at 32bit rez.Some would argue that ED is unplayable WITH the Servers of Frontier.

AWS is the cloud service. FD need FTTH.
YOU players with potatoes and sine wave cable modems from hell especially.
Great Offers available now.
and man buns and lumbershirts and beards too! and those weird mumford sons!
mmm pABST
