Hmm, this is the map in the original Privateer, a game that was delivered on 8 floppy disks more than 25 years ago.

And, uhm, SQ42 is going to be *cough* *cough* way more *intense hand waving ensues*, well not expansive but certainly more *sweats profusely*... cinematic.

Amusingly, Frontier: Elite II had 513,982,470 unique star systems contained on 1 single floppy disk and came out 26 years ago. ;)

While I'm not in Austria, I don't think I have ever seen much in the way of Chinese food in grocery stores outside of maybe rice, tea and noodles, so I don't think that's necessarily the case for him, either.

The discussions on Reddit about the roadmaps are quite interesting. There are so few that still remain positive about either SC or S42.

Oh I can EMPHASISE stuff by wiritng in caps as well and it makes me as right as you are.
But he has a point, there needs to be distance between stuff to make a gameworld seem big. Let's look at No Mans Sky as an example - when you jump to a new system, you will be near a space station and within some distance of planets. And the game is nice enough to point out how much time it will take you to travel to your target within the game. I've never seen a planet more distant from a space station then 2 minutes of boosting. And even that you can't really alt-tab - sometimes you will get a hyperspace scan that will pull you out of boosting and force you into either combat or bargaining with a rogue pirate ship. And the game still feels massive.

I've always assumed people who capitalize words like that are unstable in the head.

He lives in Australia, China is one of the largest processed food producers in the world. Just go to Hawaii, it is amazing how many of the processed foods and packetized snacks are made in China. Mcdonalds gets a very large percentage of its processed foods, like meat patties, from China.

He's not actually scared of China stealing his data, he's just starting with a conclusion (Epic bad) and then looking for things to support it. If this was some other game launcher he probably would have never even noticed.

I see ObsidianAunt is playing Rebel Galaxy. He's playing an asteroids minigame inside the real game. Isn't this something the SC loyalists have been dreaming of for years? I'm sure once SSSSSSSSSoCS gets put in all of this will finally be added.
