I truly adore KSP - one of the few games where I'd get so excited about doing something that I'd drag my wife over to marvel at my accomplishment (and subject her to long explanation of why this particular cluster of pixels on a screen should represent an accomplishment).

So I was naturally extremely excited for KSP2, but all-along I had a strong feeling this would happen. What's sad to see is that it's not just a second-system effect of being too ambitious, which was what I was assuming would cause issues, but an even more pathetic failure than that.

The joy I get from games has a really wide variance, and barely any relationship to the actual amount of money I spend on the game. I'd pay $1000 for a truly good KSP2, yet all the games that would actually _let_ me spend $1000 are shallow skins over gambling.
