OK. You talked me into it.

Can't find it. Is it a Steam game? What is the current name? Starsector does not show up.

It's not on steam. Direct from developer only. I don't think this game will ever be finished. We get like one update per year.

I've owned it for so long, yet has been in such slow development that I usually forget about it.

Hope it goes feature-complete and gets most of it's balancing done at some point.  Always looked like huge enjoyment potential once it gets there.  8)

It already is a very playable game. I don't play it that often mostly because I suck at it.

Same.  I do OK controlling just my own ship but as soon as I have to start worrying about a fleet, it ends in debris fields, corpsicles, and restarts.

Time to dust off the cobwebs of your Starsector install.  Looks like another large update has dropped.  Patch notes --> here.

It better be large. Only took a year and a half.

Tried to buy but the purchase system would not ever work.

Installed the patch.  It deleted all my bindings (not a huge deal as it'd been so long since I played it last that I don't remember any of the bindings anyway).  Went through the tutorials again.  Maybe I'll actually progress far enough to get into the campaign this time!

Finally got it. Looks interesting!

A new patch is out to fix some issues that cropped up after the big update.

I've been having fun with it even though I'm terrible at it.  I cobbled together my first fleet and went around taking mercenary contracts.  It was going swimmingly until I got lost in hyperspace and ran out of fuel...

Ugh.  I downloaded it a few days ago.  They reset all the keybindings.  Killed my interest.
