Every update I seem to hop back in, ogle and awe at the new content, and promptly stop playing within a couple days.

That makes sense to me.

They did for sure, and he's now careful about what he says which is smart. He learned a ton through that very public failure.

I'm looking forward to their next game.

You'd think by being ADHD I could do just that. But I feel like without a lobotomy I'll just have to live with disappointment.

I've played it after several of the updates and it's pretty much the same game with a new coat of paint. A mile wide and an inch deep. But the game keeps getting wider and playing it now for the first time would probably be pretty great.

I loved it when it first came out because since I was a little boy playing Atari in the 80s I wanted to play a game where I could fly to space, between planets, and back in real time. This was the first game that gave me a satisfying experience like that. And it's still my favorite part.

Edit: I played Star Citizen after which is a better experience for that, I put ~80 hours in so if it never comes out I got my $50 worth of play time. But I stay fairly close to development on it hoping I'll get to play a finished version someday.
