I bought in early for $250 bucks right at the start 2012, during Obama's first term at launch 12 years ago. I mean, Chris Roberts as a film maker wasn't great but he made great games. Now that he was back in his baliwick it has to be great, right? Now in Obama's 3rd term, if I had put that money in Bitcoin, I could really have had something.
I have played a couple of times and it has looked terrible every time. I have made these posts multiple times over the years and with CIS/Star Citizen, will probably get to continue to make them.

They use banned and suspended interchangeably in that article. I imagine the author thinks they are one in the same. But I suspect they were suspended for 7 days or some shit. If I was a dev, I wouldnt ban someone that paid to play in my beta. Its fucking beta, thanks for finding the exploit. Im going to suspend you since you took advantage of it and didnt tell me, but when you come back - please find another and this time.. report it.

Oh, it's better: You CANNOT purchase this unless you are a Legatus Navium, which means you've already spent 25k in the game.

For those who don't have $48k burning a hole in their back pocket, but do have $20 and just want a Freelancer clone, then you may want to check out this. I bought it on sale a few weeks back. It's still early access and lots unfinished, such as voice acting and such. The graphics are a bit ... well, early 2000s ish, but from what I hear, it's basically just Freelancer with (slightly) better graphics.

So ive been watching a few streams of this shit here and there and its rough still, but it seems they have been adding more and more modules to this since the last time I saw a few years back. They have FPS working now, some missions take you to either some planet to clear out some depot to a huge depot with many wings and many, many AI to fight. Then they have missions which take you to some ship which has been taken by pirate crew and need of clearing. I have seen mining with ships down to mining with vehicles and even hand tool mining. I have seen salvaging game play where they send you to salvage some ship. Currently salvaging is pretty much the best way to make money. I have been watching a streamer called Etalyx on twitch which is in the middle of a zero to hero run where he started with no ship and worked his way up to now a Nomad, his second ship.
Next big patch is supposed to hit in a month or two and it has freight elevators and freight involved missions and content. Currently they are also working on the next planetary system which is supposed to hit sometime this year as well.

Salvaging always reminds me of that space salvaging anime movie, now. Do they have any market skills? Or buying/selling trading skills? What about faction with the merchant kind of skills? Is it more like Eve? Or more like an RPG that you can achieve anything in? For instance, salvaging - you commission an agent to do all the marketing and trades. You could do it yourself and get 10 currency back, but if you commission this guy that has marketing perks/skills, you get 12 currency back and he takes 3. Unnecessary? Sure - but I like the idea of people being able to pursue their fortunes any way they please.
Is there any speculation to when the game might release? I haven't followed it, but I see the memes and comments about it having around $700m in funding and not being anywhere close to release.
Is this similar to the Duke Nukem fiasco + an additional $675m+?
Anybother good space games out there wort playing? Was thinking elite dangerous, but it's probably near the end of its life cycle now.

Release is probably somewhere around 2072.
It's not a fiasco per se. Both were running out of money, so currently, CIG is doing the bare minimum of updates aside from launching even more new ships that will get sold for $$, while ships designed a decade ago, are still on the backlog.
The single-player SQ42 is supposedly in the polish phase. If they can get that released & it's worthwhile, the money won't ever be a problem anymore.

I never played Cyberpunk 2077. If I remember correctly, it was an over-inflated piece of cow dung at launch. Is it any better now?
