I'm not sure there cause this thread show otherwise on a weekly basis. Seems like multiple users here have an hard time to acknowledge SC merits, even going to ridicule lengths of the "money will dry" variants, "this year will make or break sc", "no flight model", "no planets to land" (now "no systems"), "no company will touch them with a ten foot pole", "there's no gameplay loops", "content creators are being paid to pretend to have fun" and so on and so on. There's always some excuse to doom-speak even it doesn't last very long it will be forgotten and replaced with another rhetoric until it's absurdity becomes too apparent to deny. In which they will jump onto another sound-byte to chew.
The thing is, it's easy, people have been playing and having fun for years now. Solo, small groups, big groups. For years now. Despite of those who prefer to bury the head on the sand that is.
It's not as much as they get tiresome but they're beyond ridicule, specially now after the latest updates made things all so clear. What is beta/alpha if not bugs and lack of iteration and performance? What's the issue with having patches every 3 months that introduce new features along with new bugs? Nothing new really. I'm sure we're all still baffled how no other company has been able to steal SC thunder. Despite all for others to come up with their product it's still pretty much an open space for sc to grow freely, no surprise there since there's no actual companies investing seriously in the sci-fi department that involve ships and a online sand-box.
Our little indie space aficionados did raised hopes by pairing up tech giants but things didn't picked up as much as we hoped for. So, not surprisingly and considering all things sc keeps improving their game they keep gaining new players.
Oh they do discuss content about the game, it's just that here they're ignored here because they're drowned by the folks who don't play sc trying to deal with the fact that it hasn't crashed like they said it would, mixed with not being able to find enjoyment in the other game so the only alternative is to try and find company to their misery.
Which is it seems to be getting harder as games develop and feature implementation collide. Well, that's copium alright.
As for those who still able to play and enjoy games, the refugee camp got lot of fresh stuff:
Kate's Tank Battle continue:
Black's launched the new official Track video:
Citizen Drew adventure continued :
In another note, YT keeps pushing SC videos of "famous ytubers" playing sc:
This lawful citizen already "lured" 90+ unsuspecting players to buy SC would you look at that, almost enough to buy an Idris or 2.
Jackfrag, lvlcap and so on and so on. Though month for the fud crowd indeed.
Wouldn't be a surprise if they break their funding record. again.
Gotta appreciate the juggling though.
