The comment about ‘I don’t play games right away’ was interesting. How many years has GALCIV3 been out and it still plays like a beta?

Just a little over one year.

Plays like a beta? That’s a bit of a stretch. It isn’t as feature-rich or polished as GalCiv2 was after *seven years* of active development and fan-modding, but it’s a fun, stable game in its own right.

And they are still (as of this week) changing the UI and core mechanics.

Heh nice to hear my country gets mentioned:). I actually hate our gouverment right now, what its doing, but the game computer fund is one of the few things that i have to admit sounds good. Tough im not sure if its alrdy working… Anyway Driftland does look interesting to me too. Also altough the studio is new ,it was founded by industry veterans.
PS We use “zloty” as currency which , funnily means “goldie” quite close to gold pieces i guess lol.

The fund is actually a new thing so I don’t think the game has ever seen money from it. Is the fund a good thing for us, customers, especially in the long run? We have such a fund for movies for a long time and I can give you an example, one of many: just compare the quality of a movie about Witcher (Wiedzmin) with the game (even just their scenarios) – it speaks for itself. I wish I was wrong in this case but if anything, giving more power to bureaucrats usually ends with less customer-friendly artistic creativity, not more.

Australia has a similar program, and it’s doing a decent job down under.
