How exactly did the DNC make those 3 million more people vote for Clinton . Sanders lost because he only appealed to white college kids not because DWS said she didn ' t like him in private emails . <| sep |> Since you seem to really want an opinion , I ' ll give you one , and attempt to keep it as fair as I can . However , take this , as well as all the other comments you have seen , with a pinch of salt . Everyone is biased , especially when people get angry enough about something to start insulting the people on the other side as well as the people who are the topic of discussion . Both sides have done this , and both sides are absolutely silly when they get mad at arguments on the internet . It is an alpha . If you decide to back , you will facepoor performancerelatively small contentbugsno unlocking new ships without payingThe current playable area consists of a few large stations , and some pretty interesting missions , essentially little quests you can do . There are shops to buy clothes , using in game currency . The game also looks pretty good , visually . Now , the core of the game is actually fun . It ' s a nice experience , and being able to walk inside ships is definitely cool . The whole ' wow I ' m in space ' factor is done well . The justification for paying for ships is that it is an alpha . You pay because it supports development , and then CIG has claimed the ships will no longer be purchasable with money after release . You are supporting out of your own decision . There is no guarantee of a release . They have promised , so you should expect , but there is never a guarantee with games like SC . I did not back to get a ton of hours of gameplay right now . I backed in the hope of getting an excellent game a few years from now . That is what you will be doing if you back . However , if you have the money to spend , and you really want something cool and new to play for 1020 hours , it ' s an okay purchase . Plus , if you really like space , the pew pew in space ships is pretty cool . At the end of the day you should only back the game if you are willing to accept that you are not getting a finished game , or even a wellpolished demo , or a guarantee of release . It is in a poor state , but it has a core with lots of potential . As I said , do more research . This essay I have written is still biased in some way , no doubt . Look at gameplay . Look at the game packages . See what you can play at the moment , really look closely to see if you think the purchase is right for you .
