It must be nice to have that to look forward to. Unfortunately there's just no way I'm going to be able to save up for retirement in just 5 billion years.
Why Elite Dangerous is doomed!

On a long enough timeline, nothing survives. If you believe our limited understanding of the universe and it's rules (highly unlikely) of course.

I used to joke that SC would be released in 2018. I was called a Fudster. It's almost 2022 now. The jokes never end with that project.

Roughly 5 billion years from now, the Sun will exhaust the hydrogen fuel in its core and start burning helium, forcing its transition into a red giant star. During this shift, its atmosphere will expand out to somewhere around 1 astronomical unit — the current average Earth-Sun distance. This means the Sun will gradually engulf Mercury, Venus, and likely Earth.

On the plus side, Star Citizen might be in beta by then.
The question for me will be, can fdev fix EDO enough that I will want to play EDO more than SC. My guess is no.
And perhaps EDO will be out of beta by then?
