At this point my biggest concern is that uninformed hype- basically people who hear 'GAME LOOKS GREAT GAME LOOKS GREAT!' and never actually gets any details on what the game IS- will result in too many people picking it up expecting it to be something else, only to get right irritable when the game isn't what they wanted from it. In other words forums will fill up with threads from people angrily writing "WHY CAN'T I BUILD A BASE ON A PLANET?!? 0/10, DO NOT BUY!" because folks didn't do the increasingly small amount of digging required to actually know what the game is before dropping money on it.
Me, personally, SUPER excited to get my hands on it. As someone who enjoyed Starbound, and got a decent of enjoyment (mostly grind) out of Elite: Dangerous, I am nonetheless going into this fully aware of what the game both is, and is not. In my case, what it is happens to be EXACTLY what I want, and I think this title is going to fit a space in my heart that virtually no sci-fi game has quite managed.
Suffice to say, i want it to do well. The studio's mentioned that, if it's successful enough to keep them fed, clothed and paying rent, they'd like to do further work on the game after its release, add new features, etc. In fact, I'm pretty sure features is specifically what was mentioned, as Sean's mentioned that the way the game is designed means 'We've added a hundred new animal species/ships/gun models!' isn't going to be a thing. So it won't just be adding more planets; it would be adding more things to do IN the game, and different ways to interact with its world.
So yeah. Quite looking forward to it. =D
