Universe was never good.

reaching back to defend this but i really loved it for all the reasons it got cancelled

its still the only scifi ive ever watched that gave the viewer a sense of loving scale the universe is big and empty and doing poo poo in it is hard and tedious

unfortunately when it takes three eps to get the hvac system working (literally the first three eps) youre not going to retain viewers. not only that it was bsg-style grimdark with few if any likeable characters all being assholes which makes for great drama if youre invested but not so much if you want to grow your audience and ofc the audience was used to splashy colors and upbeat likeable characters in the other series so

still it had great promise and amazing moments if you like your scifi slow as balls and really really hard

ofc it cost a ton theres no audience for hard scifi and all of the great stuff in the show was directly counter to the actual stargates (which is in the name). i understand why it failed but its prob my fav scifi series of all time just for the atmosphere of a lonely empty universe populated solely by people who hate each other struggling to do anything of consequence b/c nothing ever shows that and its p much how i view life

obviously anything that changes the well established lore won't happen

but a bios version number or some flavour text on a planet that no one cares about (like i did for MWO) will be easy to get in

to my knowledge there will be no console version. the licensing rights are quite narrow due to them being primarily owned by microsoft and that limits it to two platforms at best: PC and xbone. that limits the market for porting it off PC
