Yeah, I've thought that as well - given that they've had events with a player-flyable Idris earlier in the year. Ofc having multiple flying around Stanton probably needs meshing ... not that that will stop them promising it

UE5.5 - 8000 players in a single instance.
I'm sure at 1:49 i can hear some laughter in the background at that statement, possibly the audience chuckling about Star Citizen.
Whatever happened to that other Space based MMO where they were claiming high player in the same instance numbers?
I've never seen morale this low in all 12 years of this project cig - Star Citizen Spectrum
I've been a part of Star Citizen since the very beginning—backing the project in July 2013 after following since the original Kickstarter in 2012. I'm also a Space Marshal. I didn’t "donate" this...robertsspaceindustries.com

Morale at its lowest? Here CIG, have some historical record breaking sales!
That was a fun read.
I especially liked the one where someone says it doesn't help the white knights coming in giving condescending lectures when people are critical of the game... then ChatJ3PT comes in and responds with a condescending lecture. Priceless.
Depends on which game you are talking about. Dual Universe? I think its still going and can handle a lot of players in the same instance, but it basically turned out to be a rubbish game.
Or perhaps Star Atlas, the crypto-based space game. That one is still very much alpha, not much released except some basic playable module(s) that could be done by any half-decent development team with a few months of work.
From that Spectrum thread:
Umm.. backers actually invested in content (and ships!), to the tune of 65 million during the stretch goals. CIG just failed to deliver on most of that content for the announced required investment.

Yeah, check out player numbers on Steam (note, no idea what % of players don't have the Steam version, i think early backers of the game don't have a steam version)
Dual Universe - Steam Charts
An ongoing analysis of Steam's player numbers, seeing what's been played the most.
Peak players last 30 days was... 15.
Somehow i don't think you need fancy server tech to handle 15 players.
"Coming at this Citcon mount your Idris now, ride your Idris through the ever expanding verse of diverse planets and systems. Trade, fill your Idris with loads of cargo, shoot stuff in and at your Idris in a never done before Idris game play. Be the first to play with your Idris at Citcon, hold the line, buy the ticket, keep on funding."
Edit: also ram your Idris into another Idris.

Haven't played that much...certainly not visited Grim Hex on the very few occasions I have
Dual Universe is hanging on via subcription (iirc).
When does CitCon happen ?
Can't wait to see some of the faithful lapping it up.

I had faith in humanity, but then I worked in video rental and satellite TV...
And with one fell post Ed02350 turns the Star Citizen thread into Idris Elba fan fic [redacted].
Well? What happens next? Keep typing man!

One has to wonder if, in some far distant future, SC reaches 1.0/gold release/not alpha status, and they keep their promise to stop selling ships post-release (hahaha), if they will make playing SC subscription based (even though they said it wouldn't require a subscription).

I know right. I just can't figure out how they'll keep all their servers running if they release their game. Maybe it wouldn't be called a subcription but a "Golden Access Ticket" where you get immediate entry into the server, people who don't pay has to wait in and gets the laggier net code?
You're going to have to buy BDSSE Erotica series I'm releasing, it'll be like Twilight + Fifty Shades of Grey in space. Still working on the title, "700 million Shades of Scam" is high on the list. "Of Handbags, Yachts and Fidelity" is a close second, my favorite so far though is "Three Years Stale".

DU meshing was/is also largely a failure when it comes to growing number of concentrating players and their original promise of miraculously large numbers of players in the same area seamlessly interacting... Desynchs, rubberbanding, disconnects etc galore. There is a reason why you haven’t seen many DU videos portraying “mass battles” or dissertations about how successful DU network architecture is.
At least to their credit NovaQuark tried to build the game from the ground up around their (admittedly not very successful) network tech and not the other way round like SC.

"It's really quite sad to see things in the state that they are.
CIG really do appear to have lost their way."
Back in 2016/2017 I remember people here being skeptical and warning about Chris Robert's history of developing games and get dismissed by fans. I don't think they've lost their ways but showed their true color.
Weird exchange between J3PT and another poster about OP projecting and not speaking for community. But when someone "agree with their (OP) sentiment" that's not OP representing the community?
Funny, OP used "soul-crushing" and the first reply is SoulSingerTheSneakThief.
Now that CIG has an AI department my conspiracy theory of SoulSinger being AI chat bot is one step closer.
