Who else bought this game after seeing the amazing review presented by SSethTzeentach? My best regards to the Merchant's Guild.

Everyone is talking about it like it’s a pretty significant amount of people. I would love to know how many. I guess only Mr. Alex could answer that?

Hey hey, people. Oldfriend here. I was hoping (but not expecting) Sseth would review this game at some point. So glad he liked it so much. Welcome to the galaxy. Try not to inadvertently ddos the forums again lmao.

I'm guessing at least a few hundred or maybe a thousand people came over here yesterday after watching his review.

The video has 451k views so if even 1% were interested enough to grab a copy, that's a great boon for Fractal Softworks. And so far from what I've played, they deserve it. The game is a blast and I'm looking forward to more.

I didn't know a game like this existed till last night and i've wanted one for so long. The perfect blend of so many features from other games I love.
Combat like Gratuitous Space Battles with more complexity, background sim & trading like X and Elite Dangerous, Exploration like Stellaris.
But most importantly, 2d sprite graphics throws wide the gates for modding, a mistake that GSB 2 made where GSB1 was so successful.
It's a dream come true for me

Ya honestly I think this is my favorite game since Factorio. Can’t wait for things to get fleshed out!

you should see what happened to SS13 after his review, he brought in so many people the beyond client crashed, and several player run servers could not keep up with the playercount, in a single week that game got more traffic than it did over it's entire life


i mean as a tiny anecdote i have a large freindgroup of 20 or so people who share sseths vids, none of us have heard of star sector (WHICH IS CRIMINAL considering stardrive, ai war, gratuitous space battles and the X series are among my favorite games)

Seriously Fractal, get this game on steam, you need the exposure - this game is WONDERFUL. i bought it as soon as i watched that video and i'm 15 hours in and i probably will keep playing it for weeks.

I'm about 99% sure that Alex has said that keys bought now would work on Steam. But even if they didn't, I know I am already planning on buying it direct from Steam to help with reviews and such

I did.
I first gave it a solid try with his cd key, and after having enjoyed it a lot and see THIS bit on the FAQ I just bought it, and I'm selling it to all my friends that could be into that kind of game.

The game is amazing.

(also, you totally should put his video in your media section, it sells the game SO WELL.

Thank you all!

I'm about 99% sure that Alex has said that keys bought now would work on Steam. But even if they didn't, I know I am already planning on buying it direct from Steam to help with reviews and such

(Just to clarify, if/when the game gets on Steam, I'd try to make sure existing customers get Steam keys for it. Since that's something that requires Valve to go along with it - even though they've done this in the past - it's not something I can actually promise. So, for example, this wouldn't be something to base the purchasing decision on.)
