Will you dissect my answer to a subatomar level to prove me wrong, if I am going to answer, or can we agree, that a good service game delivers content in less then 12 months and in better condition than "questionable" (technically and design-wise)?
Thank You FDEV!!!

I honestly did just want an example, it was a genuine question. That is why I pre-fixed it with the words "genuine" and "question".
The ED community is the game. I very much agree.
I call it a failure. They should have stayed as Squadron carriers.That's a rare success example. If noone said anything we'd have squadron only with 100 million a week in upkeep and all the other punishments they originally configured.
Please don't consider the lowest effort they've ever put in the game.. the system map fleet carrier layout arrangements.. as proof of failure of the feature.
Also who's complaining? I use a rule of thumb when bumping into negative feedback: does it have basis, or is the person just projecting a narrow minded or anally retentive view? Any feedback positive or negative without support of reasoning should be easily ignored (if disagreeable)
Stop bashing fdev. I can't believe forum trolls, one thing in 2 years plus they actually get right, and these people just can't stop bashing the devs. Unbelievable
Ok then: Rainbow Six Siege, WoW or Warhammer Vermintide. If you allow F2P games in that category, I would also throw Path of Exile in.
Edit:
From the perspective of the context, lore and game world, FC maintained by single CMDRs make even less sense.Stop bashing fdev. I can't believe forum trolls, one thing in 2 years plus they actually get right, and these people just can't stop bashing the devs. Unbelievable
Thanks for giving some examples.
... stations can slow you down just as well as planets do in supercruise but stars seem to be massless.
What are you referring to? Game world?
Compared to the past, it sure does feel like borderline abandonment.
You should see Asetto Corsa Competizione. The devs of that game add content regularly and address bugs that said content introduces within days and they're a much smaller developer with a much smaller budget.
No! (shouted from my privately-owned and very much enjoyed fleet carrier)
The failure was having squadrons at all. We have a guild table, guild chairs, guild messengers, guild hall...but the table is still bare for everyone. Thank god everyone can use the guild hall now at least.
Umm, that tends to be how software works - small teams move fast, larger teams get slower as the communications overhead / synchronisation issues increase.
Now if you can some up with a larger team doing more frequent updates then it's a better example really. Like the Star Citizen team .... oh, maybe not
Yep
I'm not sure it's politically correct to point out how tall the people are at salt parties. They might consider you to be unusually tall instead?
No disrespect to Kunos, racing games much like arena FPS titles do have far less "paths" of play than open world games.
Generally there is "racing" in a racing game, there are many types of racing sure but the main gameplay on offer involves a track and moving things on the track, so the bugs tend to be somewhat easier to recreate. Yes there is challenges with networking, graphics profiles and all the perhipheral stuff - but I'm going to put it out there that there are many types of games that have a smaller "attack surface" when it comes to issues, and racing games tend to be a robust option.
So the developer in me thinks, well that's an argument to make more racing games and arena shooters or games with linear paths , because they are cheaper to make, cheaper to QA and incur less issues.
It's a brave developer that takes on online open space with multiple play paths.
I had a look seems like a nice racing game, they are not really my thing. It's not exactly a complex game though far less reliance on RNG and very limited playing area, so updates are probably far more simplistic and less can go wrong.
