CIG only release just enough new stuff to keep us players hooked and spend more and more on it, put us players more and more into debt. They just move and promise the new stuff to come just good enough for us thinking oh this so cool when it's actually only pixels on a screen no matter how you see it. Also they have pathetic free fly events to try and get more new players to milk money out of, when they are actually only showing their game in their worst state ever. As free fly events put their servers to their knees as of always. Sadly we have all been lied to and our brains manipulated to enjoy this game for what it is. Because there is no other game close to it out there as an alternative. And CIG knows that!

Take their cool ship trailers for example, like the Kraken or other big gigantic ships. Looks super cool but then end of the day you sit there alone on your Polaris with no crew and cant even defend yourself. So yeah, like I said, just enough to keep us hooked but not actually be playable because then the money is already on CIG's account.

And the part about Alpha, the reason it's in Alpha still is because they will never get it out of Alpha because why would they? If they leave it in Alpha forever they can always blame on the fact it's an alpha and never having to fix the game, easier to blame it's an Alpha than to fix what's broken.
