How long will Elite Dangerous rule the world of space games?

- Start date

Not really he guesses port or starboard on the regular half hourly maneuver to convince the captain he knew what he was talking about, the maneuver would never have been regular (or in the same direction) in the first place it was made regular purely as a plot device.
There was definitely a look there afterwards. As if to say "Did you really know?".
These little details, and understanding motivations behind them along with the associated risks, truly change the little picture after all.

Nope he made a 50/50 gamble to win the captains trust. There was no complicated subtext.
That would be good it's a small genre so the more the merrier. However say theoretically there was a $180 million dollar space ship game failure, then no bean counter in the industry will OK a space game because failures don't get copied. As you said the industry only mimic successful games in successful genre's.
What you see in production now may be all we get for another twenty years.
In My Little Pony: Guardians of Harmony, horses hunt YOU.
There was no over-simplified nonsense either.
Lol, I had to stop the gags it was upsetting for the conspiracy theorists.
Space Engineers has a huuuuge Update incoming, I think I might be sinking a few dozen more hours into it soon
My point is that there are many sorts of space games. Each one specialises in different aspects but has a certain structure. But most imitate the same space multiplayer activities in sandbox: trade, combat, build, explore, survive...
Space Engineers and Stationeer work on construction and management.
Elite Dangerous, Star Fighter Inc and Star Citizen and Infinity Battlescape are spaceflight simulators.
Eve Online, Hades 9 and Dual Universe are interactive MMOs.
Stellaris and Everspace are grand strategy games.
No Man's Sky, Hellion and Osiris: New Dawn are extraterrestrial survival and exploration games.
X4: Foundations is a corporation focused game that continues the X series.
Some of these games I have mentioned are still in alpha. They look interesting and promising but some won't make it. Space games are a lot of work to do in creation.
So far I know of only Star Citizen and Dual Universe that ambitiously wants to make 'the most complete space game' for all space gamers such that it won't need further improvements after release. But to me, the top space game now is ELITE: DANGEROUS!

True.
From what I can see, there seem to be many crowns. There is the space sim Eve, but it isn't the same as ED. They each have their own advantages over the other. While I personally don't like Eve, I know others that love it, even more than ED. For them, that game has the "crown".
When you want to talk about dethroning, it needs to be about two things that are so close to each other, that one doesn't offer much of a difference from the other. Who knows? In the future, there may be a game that "dethrones" ED. Till then, I look forward to seeing what is planned for this game, as well as any others in the future.
If it comes down to loyalty for me, I have no loyalties towards any game. There are just some I like better than others. And if one of the games I like stops being entertaining for me anymore, I will take a break from/just stop playing it. I really don't care about any "crown" that a game might obtain. Since I am unable to work, and therefore have no income, I usually can't get most games till they have been out for a long time anyway. lol.
