I have to laugh at that, as I remember the people who were really enthusiastic about this at the start. I can see them staring at the screen in disbelief saying,

I got in on it when they announced Squadron 42, mostly because I dislike MP games which effectively lock out part time players because you cant compete with people playing it 20/24 365 with dedicated jobs. I have a real job and a real life.

Same here I just backed it for the single player campaign. I didn't care if the MP crashed and burned. Oh well. I still download the demo client every couple of years and play for a couple hours. It wasn't the best $60 I ever spent. But I don't regret it.
