It wasn't an ELE that wiped out the backer funds. It was Tristan Timothy Taylor.

Well, i thought it might a bit, especially if it was easyenough to rent/buy the ships. While buying is still a bit of a pipe dream for many, renting as i understand, for a day or whatever is fairly cheap.

So, i'm man enough to admit i was wrong.

I suppose people want to own the ships for good though, which they can't lose due to wipes.

When I say SC looks dated, this is what I mean. This is real next gen poo poo, and real procgen tools that can make a detailed world come to life, not just covering a 1/10th scale ball in tiled textures.

I really hope that The Agent’s rumors are true and Chris has been furiously making his team 22 year olds slave away on a fully rendered in-game Earth.

I’d say they both believe that they are entitled to backer’s money and praise without end because of how talented and visionary they both are.

Chris likes the adulation on a more personal level, because at his core he is an awkward and insecure nerd who needs validation. He also needs SC to succeed at this point to keep his dream of being an entertainment mogul/and or being a director again alive.

Sandi loathes sci-fi and video games and all the nerds who are into both. She mainly just views the whole thing as a ridiculous cash cow she can ride when it suits her or use to buy her way into indie films.

Agreed, but you know what, good luck to her - fake degrees and all that bullshit notwithstanding, she wouldn't be the first Hollywood wannabee starlet who hitched her wagon to the money train to get into the movies. In her case, she just got lucky - a husband whose cash comes from a load of idiots with poor spending control who she would absolutely hate to be in the same room as.
