We'd have had CompuServe, only bigger. Subscription only, walled garden environments.

Might have got something close to modern ubiquity with cable companies bundling search and forum functions in with the video, but it would still be heavily monetised and tightly controlled.

Yeah, me too. Just shy of 140 hours in and still having a blast.

Just joined the Crimson Fleet for the first time, got my first custom spaceship that I’m happy with, still haven’t completed the UC questline, hardly dug into outposts at all…

I may be here for some time :)
