Is it a scam or not? I know it's never gonna happen but a small part of me wants it to be real so badly

    It's basically just development hell, which given that it's a crowdfunded game means it has the same effect as a scam: paying for a game you'll never get.

    Just go play Elite Dangerous. The new expansion is very cool, hopefully they actually fix it so it's playable with a consistent, decent framerate on anything less than a threadripper with 64 gigs of ram and a pair of RTX 3090s.

      Plus ED was given for free in Epic Games not long ago... I have to try it out sometime. I heard the Fuel Rats are pretty based

      I love ED, did a Beagle Point run and everything. But it's dead boring without a VR setup to intensify the experience and the flight model is not great by comparison.

        That's fair. I highly recommend head and eye tracking, as it adds a lot of that experience back without needing the bulky headgear that I hate having to pull out of the closet.
