Guys I was wrong. Apparently CIG did send me a message at 12:18 today but I guess it went into my spam folder. Probably because it's almost an exact copy of the one I got last week.

Haha, I can't imagine how many amazing space games would have resulted if you split up a 90 million dollar fund to a ton of indie devs. Pretty depressing :(

also, PC gaming isn't dead. And I have no idea why they keep saying that.
because they only care about spaceships and it doesn't matter to them that indie gaming outside of crowdfunded shitshows like SC is the best it has been in a long time

Far as I can gather, the X-Wing games, and especially TIE-Fighter were much better than the Wing Commander series.
This is true and I don't really understand what people see in WC

They're expecting this to be the ultimate science fiction life simulator where people who pre-ordered a fleet of $900 fake ships will live like space emperors and poo poo on all the jerks who only spend $50 on the game.

Wing Commander was one of the first games to really drive storytelling into the heart of the game. Before Wing Commander (and for quite a while afterwards) if story existed in your game it typically existed purely as part of your hundred page hefty manual. Actually telling a story as part of a game and part of the gameplay was a revolutionary step forwards.
That doesn't seem to be what SC people are interested in though. There's basically no talk of attempting to make SC have a coherent narrative or anything.

A lot of people should also probably understand that those kickstarters are actually in fact already funded by private investors that you never hear about. Despite the impression given off by gaming kickstarters, most of the time those are just acted as pre-orders and nothing else, even the ones that claim reaching certain goals will mean more features.
yeah like, most of the examples of successful kickstarters like FTL were actually by far mostly funded by bigger investors and the crowdfunding aspect isn't actually primarily to raise money, it's to get people more invested and interested in the product
