Whether the term "vaporware" applies to SC is kind of subjective IMO. The server meshing feature has been advertised for a long time and it still hasn't been shipped. Though they did add object persistence a few patches ago which really changed the game for salvaging.

I bought the game based on what I see people doing in it already, and it was fun enough for me. That definitely won't be the case for everyone and I recognize that. So to me it's not vaporware and there are lots of other people still enjoying the game today.

This is just the SC project, honestly. Lots of "we will have this" and "we will do this" that never pan out because the scope is in perpetual and constant creep, with shifting priorities.

It's a cool project though, and I do enjoy the game, I just find that their plans and announcements should always be taken with a liberal grain of salt.
