Uhm yeah.... because I play a game to watch Netflix. Makes sense. If that's the game design, then the game isn't designed to be played, it's designed to be ignored.You're just wrong, it's not a fail, it's different and no longer something that you can just hold the trigger and turn on Netflix, you actually need to involve yourself. If you don't like it, old style mining is still completely viable.
Elite is the only game you HAVE to play something on your 2nd screen because staring at the screen and dots wooshing past for 5 - 90 minutes will make your gaming brain die of boredom.
