I was so intrigued by the concept of the game when it released that I picked it up and actually enjoyed it for a while before its reptititivness began to really show. Traded it in as a result, and I never thought I'd revisit it, because to be honest I imagined that the company would have been entirely ruined by their failure, and the subsequent fallout.
Fast forward to now, and its it's nice to know Murray truly believed in his vision. The guy likely knew it was possible from early on, and he was committed to seeing it through. Same goes for those on the dev team who stuck it out as well.
Evidently though, he projected the development timeline poorly, and was so hyped by his own vision, that he was more interested in getting people to buy the concept he believed in before it came to fruition. The epitome of putting the cart before the horse, I guess.
But with everything that has been added, I'm tempted to have a go at it again, and on the marketplace right now its going for about 30 bucks.
So, anyone here giving it another go? Anyone actually stick with it this entire time? Thoughts?

Played it at launch and once they did the big update. It's definitely better (not hard, but still.) More filled out, bases, freighters, more thought out resource pricing and amount. Still has the same problems, every planet after a while fits into one of their cookie cutter formats. You end up just doing the same shit over and over, fun for awhile but gets boring quickly. Worth a try if you like exploring and base building.
