    The game whose mismanagement still most upsets me.

    It had/has the potential to be so incredible, and they screwed it over.

    They were one of the first to have VR, then saw low numbers and wrote it off when they were really just too early to the market. Like - if they actually supported a PS5 version and supported PSVR2 with its foveated rendering right now, they’d probably be the bestselling VR game on PSN.

    But no, instead, they dropped VR entirely for their poorly developed on foot expansion.

    If they actually had resources pouring into the game, just think how amazing the world could be paired up with where generative AI will be within around 12 months. Actually intriguing plot lines playing out in local space voiced by the ship AI. That right there could have been a subscription add on.

    But no, instead they just keep shuttering it more and more.

    A real shame.

      A game like elite is one of the few kinds of games I think generative ai would be incredible, for example: a unique ai generated storefront for selling equipment, everything from the layout to the advertisements seen on the station for it could be so immersive if done right
