Starcitizen is pay to win
After reading Chris Roberts reply's, I believe he has no idea what he is doing any more. What he said was insulting to the player base.
' It is an open-ended Persistent Universe Sandbox that doesn’t have an end game or a specific win-state. ' - Chris RobertsPlayer A engages pay to win Player B. Player B will always win in the end as they will throw money at the game until they win.
A loss to Player A costs more than a lost to Player B.
When you boil down all of Starcitizens non-existent game play this is what your left with. This is the only win state worth a dam.
The game is completely over for me, its pay to win garbage that you usually get in a 'free' to play game.

Hey EA, about that Anthem game
TLDR; I am not going to buy this game. As EA are known to drop support for games if they don't do well.
Over the last year EA have clearly shown, if a game is broken, they will dump it and run. They aren't interested in spending any money just burning goodwill.
The two examples of this is EA:Battlefront 2 & Mass Effect: Andromeda. Andromeda has been abandoned with just few patches but fundamentally a flawed game.
Battlefront 2 is in the process of being dumped with what I guess will be one final patch with a new map then onto Battlefield 5.
Anthem on the other hand is being marketed as a games as service setup. Like Warframe, Destiny 2 and The Division.
I feel though, that the games focus groups and market analysts have completely missed the mark on what people want to play ( its not loot shooters any more, its battle royal ). And so they have engineered a complete flop with all the latest loot box real money transaction systems in place.
The thing is, it doesn't have to be a flop. You can go back and fix games and to me this shows you care about your customers.
Three Prime examples of this are No Mans Sky, a utter disaster at launch, which promised the universe but delivered a very basic game. Since release though Hello Games have keep busy pushing out several major updates with the next update being multiplayer in July.
Diablo 3 was a abomination at launch, the entire game was tuned to the real money auction house. It was just not fun but Blizzard stuck at it, released a expansion which pretty much fixed the entire game and to this day still pushes out session content.
Lastly The Division. This is a game I hated at launch, it was complete utter garbage but once again UBISoft keep at it, released free updates along with some good DLC ( Survival is my fav ) and instead of killing the project turned it around into something people enjoy. I know I will be getting the Division 2 on release.
But EA, if you think I will trust you for a second with Anthem, then you are wrong. You have to prove me wrong by having the game last more than a year with substantial updates for your customers.

Server down time
My core game server will be offline for a few ours on the 2018-03-29 at 15:00 UTC time.
This is due to my service provider doing a upgrade that requires the server to be rebooted.
Also due to my laziness of never setting up any auto restart demons, all services will be offline until I wake up in the morning, so core services will be offline for a good 3 - 4 hours. Unless before then I get auto restart scripts up and running ......as I have Farcry 5 and Neverwinter to play so this is unlikely.
So to recap the following services will be offline:

ElderScrolls Online: Summerset
I almost wrote this off as, more elf, expansion, then they showed Razum-dar. So now I am sold.
But what is with the cheap sound track. That chanting which seems to be built from a sample pack that everyone uses. This is what I mean:

Another Example:

Also the almost Destiny 2 chanting at the end.
Anyway doesn't matter, Razum-dar !
