Hmm… I don’t exactly see how but maybe I should specify.

I very much keep up on the development of the game, & I think it’s going great. I think we have another 3-4 years to go before what I’d imagined when I first heard of the game (a few weeks after it’s public announcement) is possible. Server issues are likely to be a bulk of what needs ironed out.

Unfortunately, as for me not personally touching the game - severe physical illness that makes it very hard to be at a computer. I would definitely be playing every major release if I could comfortably do so.

If that still makes your comment correct - in what I’m saying makes the GP seem more valid - I guess I have a misunderstanding.

If SC ends up being a complete flop - it will be unfortunate, but I truly believe a great amount of tech will come out of the disbanding teams. If you think all of their hundreds to thousands of something employees are all in on a grand conman scheme & they’re doing literally nothing but sinking their collective reputations - I’ve got some… lemme see… maybe horse dewormer to sell you, perhaps other things…

The cherry on top for me is the longer it takes to ship (heh) the more likely it is I’ll actually be able to comfortably play the game I’ve dreamt about for some time, definitely before SC was ever announced. Some of my friends who’ve backed are literally going to have become doctors or with kids approaching middle school before 1.0 :)
