Comment on Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refund

Because it’s in a genre that has no good alternatives?

The only viable alternative I found was X4. Even that is slightly different from what Star Citizen promises (it’s more empire management than solo flying in the endgame)

Honest question, what does it give that eve doesn’t? If X4 is a good alternative why is eve really so lacking? Give it a try, do a level 1 security mission in a merlin, it’s very similar to X4

  I can’t simultaneously play a third MMO (already got FFXI and FFXIV)
  
  X4 custom start allows me to jump to the parts I want to play instantly, no matter if it’s starting wars, flooding the market, dogfighting, etc
  
  My X4 save is a gzip file: no need to worry about latency after moving to another country etc (my EVE account is locked to a region halfway across the world)
  
  I don’t have to wait for irl people to do something fun in X4
  
  The gziped save file is in xml format. If something breaks I can just fix it
  
  X4 has a huge modding scene for whatever features you want
  
  X4’s modding tools are super easy to learn: it’s all xml and lua. Took me only 2 hours to figure out how to modify the UI from scratch.
