Yeah, I don't support fraud ๐คทโโ๏ธ doesn't matter how much they put into it after stealing millions of dollars through deceptive marketing and flat-out lies.
Doesn't it matter though? Isn't delivering the promised product the correct reparations for failing to deliver a product? Pretty sure it was easy to get a refund back then, too.
Ok? You know that your original complaint was wrong so you shifted to a new one?
How are my two complaints in any way different?
Your first complaint was that the game still isn't complete, now your complaint is that they're fraudsters for not delivering it on day 1.
So, try and follow me here... if the game still doesnt have features promised at launch, then did it have those features on day 1?
My complaint is the fraud, and always has been. Joking about how it still doesnt meet launch expectations is literally the same thing.
Can't believe I'm wasting my time on this conversation but here's a spreadsheet from 5 years ago showing what was promised, what was there at launch, and what was there when the list was made for reference.
I haven't played in a few years so I don't know what's changed (aside from unique ships) but that's a pretty complete list. Sure it's missing a few minor things but are you really going to pretend it fell so short of its goals?
No, you're not. That's why you shifted to talking about the sad state of the game at launch...something no one is saying isn't true.
You changed the subject.
So you linked a spreadsheet that shows I'm correct, and use that to claim that I changed the subject and am shifting goalposts...
If both of my claims are objectively true - based on the source that YOU provided - then did I change the subject or was I just adding additional context? It sure seems more like you're avoiding the subject and attacking a strawman instead of the arguments I made.
You're still thinking about this?
Who's moving goalposts, now? ๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ
It's almost as if you realized you were wrong and decided to change the subject. Wild.
So you were stewing on it for 22 hours, huh?
We agree on the argument you shifted to - they barely delivered the game they promised on day 1. But that wasn't what your first comment said. You said the game was starting to almost approach what they promised before launch.
For at least 5 years, the game has been a few minor features away from everything they promised...while adding a ton more they didn't promise. Do those missing features means the game isn't at it's promised state? You'd be pedantic to buy it would be understandable? Do those missing features means the game isn't 99.99% complete? You'd be a fool to. And you were a fool.
Feel free to get the last word in here.
