I'd nearly given up on Egosoft, but I have to admit that they're probably going to get me to buy in to this.


I actually don't really like games.

I never really got into the X games and I own a couple of them.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

Are these iterations of X-Com? I never got into anything beyond the first two.

No, these are space exploration sims/sand boxes more like Elite:Dangerous or Star Citizen. They predate both of those. This is the latest iteration.

I've mostly gone off simulators, but I have a soft spot for the X series of games. I have probably several hundred hours in them. Unfortunately the last game, X Rebirth, probably should have been called "X Stillbirth." They really made major changes that gutted a lot of what players loved about the game, and it really backfired on them. Looks like they're back to the winning formula.
