When did hackernews stop enjoying strange niche software? If people think starcitizen is cool, why do you care if they pay developers to make their weird game?

When did hackernews stop enjoying strange niche software? If people think starcitizen is cool, why do you care if they pay developers to make their weird game? No one is going to come slap league of legends out of your hands and force you to play a space sim. I quite enjoy playing SC, and have spent a grand total of $50 on it 5 years ago, and gotten at least a hundred hours of play time out of it. Am I frustrated by the developers? Absolutely. Do I enjoy the product? Also yes.
