Yes. They've already surpassed Star Citizen by releasing a playable combat demo when they said they would.

the game is probably going to be janky, laggy, broken, or never even get remotely close to being done or a combination though

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

Yes but if it was a good game it would have to compete for the time I spend doing things I actually like. This way it can just be a hilarious clusterfuck flash in the pan and then I can forget about it.

this is a depressing outcome to hope for. compared to all the other releases lately, maybe this is a realistic expectation

I'm not going to poo poo on people who actually want this to be a good game, even if it seems unlikely. Its just that if this turns out to be good, I already know I probably won't spend the time to get the full experience. The goonrush then drop-off thing is something I've had fun with in the past though.

Read access is all that matters there, so all is well... unlike cf where the forum is actually dead and boring unless you go out of your way to make it fun.

Looks like the folks that got a Collectors Edition as part of their pre-order pledges actually get an extra game account and an extra 3 months VIP sub. Of course, anyone that would pay $150 for an art book, a CD, a comic and some 2 inch action figures needs their head examined, but if they give you free stuff on top of what you already paid for that's good.

Being pay-to-post is really the only thing SA has to differentiate itself, to the point where SA is just another internet circlejerk forum, but more tongue-in-cheek and you have to pay to participate.

Makes probates/bans slightly better than useless too. It's not a very portable model though. You have to have a critical mass of activity first to convince new people to join up, or the whole thing just dies (see: crowfall). I lurked in LP for like 2 years before I joined up here. People might not even remember what crowfall is in 2 years.

There are poo poo tons of videos and streams of the pre alpha all over the place, i think they have a forum specifically for them.
