    Ah, Cosmoteer. Extremely fun for like 10 hours, then you realize there is nothing left to do. I guess that dev has made a fortune off of it though, so hats off to that guy.

      Honestly that sounds fine. It’s okay if a small game is only entertaining for 10 hours provided the price is reasonable. We shouldn’t expect every game to be an infinitely replayability mill

        It confuses the hell out of me that we don’t say that about any other media.

        “This movie that I spent $18 per person on only lasts 97 minutes what a rip off.”

        I agree. But people should be aware that even though “1.0” released in 2022, Cosmoteer has been around since 2011. It’s far from being the worst example of a game in eternal early access, though I would say it isn’t one of the better ones.

        wasn’t portal just a mod? very short game, but has some of the most memorable moments in all of gaming

          portal was its own game, but it had a very unenthusiastic release. stanley parable and gmod were mods

      Yeah I enjoyed it for longer than that but it just becomes so tedious once you have a few ships.

      I prefer Starsector and Avorion.
