The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

The trailers also featured elements that were not indicative of the released game.  I don't think that has to do with "bad at talking", it has to do with misrepresenting the facts

Did anyone else like Starlancer years ago?  It wasn't as popular as X-Wing/Wing Commander/FS2/etc., but as a space-sim combat game I actually found it enjoyable.

The demo is nice but I'm too lazy to hunt down a copy on eBay, why there isn't a digital release on Steam or GOG.com I don't know.

Krevett converted the SL models to FS, so you can say it has one now.

I'm willing to cut HelloGames a lot of slack because they definitely sat down and started plugging away at the game to make it into what they promised it to be. For a time after launch, they looked like the next Peter Molyneuxs, always overpromising and always underdelivering, but unlike Molyneux, they actually started delivering.

That doesn't excuse their overpromising to sell the game, of course. But there's a vast difference here between No Man's Sky and SC: NMS was, at launch, a playable game that people could enjoy and has since become more of a game. SC, to this day, isn't even that.

I remember putting you on my ignore list for this very subject, so thread lightly here.

Hey now, if you put it that way, I don't think anybody cares about your ignore list.

Hello Games definitely should have explained that things like multiplayer weren't going to be in the initial release. It was a massive PR disaster not to.

But a lot of the stick they got was over things like the Collbert interview where he said players would be able to see and grief each other a bit. And it does seem like they will add that in the next release. So if they always planned that, it wasn't a lie to say that you could do that in the final game.  They just needed to make it much more clear that large changes were coming after initial release.

I had a blast with that game, but on the last mission the game would crash so I never finished it.  I have it running on Windows 10 now, but honestly I forgot I had it until I saw this post!
