I'm both console and pc. Recently I got sick of the constant transaction errors on the xbox version I had support transfer my assets to my virgin (I previously cleared that save) pc account.
I have 800 million sitting in my account waiting for me to do something with it and I don't plan on logging in until the Q4 update.

He's a self styled internet warlord who's been arguing with people not worth arguing with since the early IRC days. Now a days he tweet storms all things SC because they peed in his cornflakes a few years past by closing and refunding his SC backer account.
If you manage to successfully navigate his hyperbolic tweets and egotism he is for the most part correct in what he says about SC.
On topic: Games dead.

DSmart's words on Elite Dangerous:
"Not until Elite Dangerous (which, at less than $20M to make, has now set the bar so high, that it has pulled ahead of the competition by decades) which went into crowd-funding in 2012, and released in 2014 as promised, was anything close ever attempted."

"If you were to use those engines to build a game with the scene (the game world) scope required by my Battlecruiser/Universal Combat games, or even something like Elite: Dangerous, it won’t work. At all. For one thing, the larger the scene size, the more limitations and calculation anomalies (e.g. the farther you go from the center, the worse it becomes etc.) you will run into.
The only way around all those limitations is to build your own engine, suited specifically to the game world you are building." - July 2015 blog

You should think the consequences of your actions through. Not interested in engineering ?, don't bother it's not a compulsory thing anyway.
*I should add that the reasons for closing his account were spurious at best.
Meant to edit not reply. It's been a long day and its probably whats his faces fault.
Sounds to me like a crazy person
I am familiar with DS (have been for 20+ years) & am aware of the other extreme to what (imo) we have with Frontier & ED. Like so many things, there is a comfortably large middle ground that I would like to see used more.
Nor the fan base. This game is apparently perfect so they say. It's you that is wrong or broken or... Move along now...
So basically then you're admitting that FDev cannot deliver what they promised. That they do not have the technical know-how to achieve what was planned. We agree then it was either they couldn't or wouldn't. And for you the reason the game is so empty and unfinished is because they couldn't finish it. Glad you posted your opinion.
Google trends is a much better indicator, NMS interest is already waning and WoW is still doing really well. The rest are tanking...
(just an example,do your own comparisons)

Repped! It's been so long since I even thought about Comic Sans!
Great, now we will get someone complaining you have something against loganberries! And the lactose intolerant lobby group will now be highly offended at the mere mention of cream!
