100% selling hopes and dreams. I understand there's a playable alpha, I was a backer for over a decade. There is no cohesive vision, just endless theory crafting and half baked implementations to maintain the illusion of progress, but every time they add something, they seemingly need to break something else for their 8 ticks-per-second system to be able to handle it...

Hell of a grift.

Never preorder.

The fun thing is looking into history... especially the one of Freelancer. It would never have been released if it weren't for Jörg Neumann who - in short - finished it.
