I meet on average 20 'first day' newbies per night on the European servers alone who are all star struck and have already spent way too much or looking to bin even more cash on this dumpster fire of a project...it still staggers me to be honest.
While the saying says there is a sucker born every minute it still blows my mind how many people buy into it.
I mean, i acknowledge that there is a chance that SC might release one day and it might even be half decent, but why do so many people lack the control to simply sit back and wait to see if CIG can do that first.
The SC sub is full of people saying they are fed up with publishers pushing out buggy and unfinished games, yet SC is exactly that, except somehow different because ITS ALPHA and the backers are funding it so feel like they control the development somehow? Like if they are in control then nothing can go wrong? But its all rubbish anyway, they dont control anything. CIG have plenty of times done things the backers have been against, and you cant design anything decent by committee.. we see it on many game forums "Why dont the developers listen to us?"
Welll, because there is no actual single "us". Because a game designed by "us" would be terrible. And because "us" often want something different from what the devs want.
