Did they actually bill it that way or was that player hype? I kind of recall actually not hearing a lot of anything about the game except for one video which I don't think sold anything the game wasn't.

I feel the same way about Star Citizen, I'm pretty sure most of the hype I saw was invented by the players when the whole game is a money-laundering Radiant Quest simulator.

I remember people in forums being like "I'm going to be the captain of a cruise liner, and other players will ride around onboard and go to the casino and watch movies and converse!"

Like yeah that's what people want to do in a fucking space game, you retard, sit on your ship and "converse".

That's real shit people were saying, no kidding.
