I recall the vision for this game being super hype about some kinda groundbreaking awesum possum netcode they had which would dwarf all other games and achieve peace in our time

Does this still ring true some 3-5 years later, or is the hype gone in the wind? Also someone has to explain to me what was it about that netcode that was so hype

Not like there will ever be enough players for that to matter anyway.

Yeah. They should have gone full-on Planetside copycat with their game rather than try space engineers in a seamless universe

There are literally 0 pleople who want to play space engineers and those who do are likely also DCS players (ew)

Like, a single shard game where world pvp is a thing means: goons will come and utilize machiavelian doctrines to systematically drive the pubbies away and make the game crash and burn

Although it has also been argued that the game in itself was made just to accomodate the netcode which is infact the *real* product they intend to sell to like, other studios.
