Wasn't it essentially just a watered down Stellaris? It's been years since I've played the Stellaris Star Trek mod but I have no doubt it was done better there.

Add in the fact that they're likely paying a decent-sized license fee for the use of the IP I feel like the writing was on the wall for this one. If it wasn't a breakout hit out the gate, its destiny was sealed. After all, PDX is a public company these days and have shareholders to appease - their developers are better used pumping out more mediocre DLC for the games that actually sell. (I say this as someone who buys every Stellaris DLC within a few months of release...)

I follow all the trek Lemmy communities, I've seen every episode of every trek ever made multiple times, and I've played 3000+ hours of Stellaris... Yet I didn't buy this game which seems like it was made specifically for me. It just came across as a heavily lobotomized copy of Stellaris. Super disappointed in this game, it could have been a license to print money if they'd just... Tried. This is WAY worse a game than the star trek mods for stellaris.

This is the first I’m hearing of this game.

I’ve just been playing STO like a fool.

Don't buy it. But stellaris and install the star trek mod instead. Much better, way way deeper game.

Guess that DLC Subscription isn't really working out that well, huh?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

That’s pretty scummy..

Can’t say I didn’t see it coming though.

You could say the irony is infinite

Kinda glad I dodged this one.

It's a shame, because it seemed like a pretty good concept for a Star Trek game, something that's hard to do right, but once it released it didn't look like it had a lot of TLC and coulda just been a mod for Stellaris (lul and also is...)

Sheesh. Released October 12 last year and already abandoned. And if I had to guess, this one won't get revived, unlike Imperator.
