SC is a scam and will never happen. Roberts I am sure is very thankful for the free multi million dollar company. I bet he'll be sure to send everyone a Xmas card in a year or two when he sells Cloud Imp to EA.
Elite Dangerous Launches December 14th... a little over a month from now. Braben didn't start with nothing... Frontier Developments has existed since 1994 and hes been selling video games. Sure not many of us have been snapping up zoo tycoons. lol My only point is, Frontier is a legit game developer... they may have finished the game with some kickstarter help, but it was already 3+ years into development when they did that. I'm sure had people not been stupid enough to hand Roberts 60+ million in Free money the guys at Frontier would have just finished the game on there dime. Either way theirs is launching and Roberts SC never will. (or it will when EA finishes it lol)
Will ED replace STO... no cause at this point most people still putting up wtih STO are hard trekkers and won't be giving it up. I mean after all the junk this dev has done if people are still here there not going anywhere. Cryptic knows it to.
Hopefully ED is capable of sucking people in though.
As for SC... even if I'm wrong and Roberts doesn't take the early retirement payday. He is still claiming his game won't launch until 2016. By then who knows CBS could have pulled the IP... or Cryptic could have pulled the plug.
Was thinking for a while to come back to sto in the next couple a months, but hearing as how sto has sunk even deeper than ever before I might just wait and try this game out. From looking at vids it looked pretty bad TRIBBLE.
I too have my doubts about this whole SC thing, from what im seeing its either a scam or its going to be something extremely buggy. They are trying to reach the impossible imo.
Id rather have a good space game than a super realistic one
Didnt frontiers also make 'Theme park'? Last tycoon game i played was transport tycoon (openttd)

Lol ya they did the roller coaster and zoo tycoon stuff. Gotta eat I guess.
At least they know how to develop something within a budget and turn a profit on it though. lol
