Wasn't it essentially just a watered down Stellaris? It's been years since I've played the Stellaris Star Trek mod but I have no doubt it was done better there.

Add in the fact that they're likely paying a decent-sized license fee for the use of the IP I feel like the writing was on the wall for this one. If it wasn't a breakout hit out the gate, its destiny was sealed. After all, PDX is a public company these days and have shareholders to appease - their developers are better used pumping out more mediocre DLC for the games that actually sell. (I say this as someone who buys every Stellaris DLC within a few months of release...)

I follow all the trek Lemmy communities, I've seen every episode of every trek ever made multiple times, and I've played 3000+ hours of Stellaris... Yet I didn't buy this game which seems like it was made specifically for me. It just came across as a heavily lobotomized copy of Stellaris. Super disappointed in this game, it could have been a license to print money if they'd just... Tried. This is WAY worse a game than the star trek mods for stellaris.

This is the first I’m hearing of this game.

I’ve just been playing STO like a fool.

Don't buy it. But stellaris and install the star trek mod instead. Much better, way way deeper game.

Guess that DLC Subscription isn't really working out that well, huh?

That’s pretty scummy..

Can’t say I didn’t see it coming though.

You could say the irony is infinite

Kinda glad I dodged this one.

It's a shame, because it seemed like a pretty good concept for a Star Trek game, something that's hard to do right, but once it released it didn't look like it had a lot of TLC and coulda just been a mod for Stellaris (lul and also is...)
