Just me and my 🌊dragon🐉 hanging out
The thing I want most in my game isn't to be able to get out of my door, isn't to be able to get into the pilot's chair without exploding, isn't to be able to fly my ship without the game crashing unexpectedly, isn't to be able to complete one of the dumbass busywork missions, it's to have my Space Ken roughly approximate my facial expressions on the rare occasions he's not wearing an enormous Doom helmet.

Also, I am not a hardcore gaming person, but according to a reliable observer, my expression while gaming is indistinguishable from my expression while threading a needle. I can't be alone in that.

I actually wonder sometimes what elements you would need to change to make this game possible to produce. It feels like half the problems are technical impossibilities the thumb that walks like a man promised out of ignorance and the other half are stupid fidelity things no one will give a poo poo about at release.

Pretty much this. The original game was doable. What's being promised now...........As the Dali Smart said, "some things haven't been done because they can't be done."

In one of the PTU patch notes, they halved the NPC's to improve FPS.

Yet they talk about being able to have a ship with 1000 separate pieces of cargo?

CCP just refined out the whale model, but in this regard the whale is a paying subscriber. Opening the gates to everyone produces the content for the whales to consume. That they also closed the grey cash market by having a interchange between ingame currency and real money in terms of Plex.

So ingame, you can buy a plex and use it against your subscription, or you can sell it. Once you've bought a plex, you can also resell it. And they can be destroyed.

https://www.themarysue.com/eve-players-destroy-money-plex/ - there are a tonne more examples, but it tightened the real cash to fake currency loop outside of alliance meta-transactions.

It's actually a hugely simple system where it allows people to both get a taste and to engage in the usual low level shenanigans for free, building content through the free people being part of the product.

Of course, the only way to win is not to play.

Look at this guy defending Pay2Win.

May have been posted before but it's a good overview. I am glad that people are talking about the performance issues. Citizens do a lot of gymnastics to avoid the topic and really, if you're just looking at screenshots, it's a very pretty game (sometimes). It's way too easy to get hyped for the game and buy it without ever hearing about how bad it actually runs, so more visibility for the issues is a must.
