!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Imagine if Frontier Developments had gotten $1B…
Then there'd be so many more things to mindlessly grind for!
(I'm kidding, but I do think what's holding Elite back is FDev's insistence to not do game design and to just keep adding mindless busybody work - ended up leaving the game as a result)
But then people would realize it's as deep as a puddle quicker.
Elite often feels like its just missing something. It's a good game but feels like there is potential to be so much better.
Given Odyssey more time to bake?
How about Egosoft? Although I am not sure if they would even know how to spend it all.
They'd crap out a game for 5 mil, spend five years and another 5 mil making the game go from shit to amazing, and then have 990m left over like "uhh, y'all want pizza or sumtn?
Y'all? Not a chance. They are German. Ve should go eat ze schnitzel und drink bier, yah?
