Can i shoot you just because i want to?
Yeah, Braben said he wanted interiors all those years ago, and if they don't come eventually, i'll be kind of miffed.
What I dislike most about it all is the CMs trying to wave it away. Like Arthur saying its no good without gameplay loops. SC doesn't have interior gameplay loops, but people love it regardless.
Why not just say "Its still something we'd like to do, but we don't have the time and resources at this point to dedicate to it."? That would go down a lot better (i think) than the stuff they come out with. We know FD can't throw hundreds of devs at it. We know stuff takes time. We saw how Odyssey took them years to do, and even if we can point to Helo Games/NMS doing stuff quicker, we know FD can't match that sort of output for whatever reason. But don't try and horse manure (apparently you can't even say Bee Ess on this forum) your way out of it. Just say, not on the cards at the moment and be done with it.
