I mean Elite Dangerous is right there, finished, playable and fun.

And it first released a decade ago already (in a couple months)

Nope, it's real time travel with no FTL. The reason it's "finished" is that it takes hundreds of real life years to get anywhere, so they have plenty of time to populate the world's before the first players arrive.

Yeaaah, but they pulled the exact same thing Star Citizen did initially. They overpromised and underdelivered heavily. It took them years to get where it is now.
