Got mine! I bought in the first week when I heard about this.
I can remember back in the day when people bought entirely new IBM clone's to "play the new Wing Commander" whenever it would come out, it was THAT huge of a game. I believe most of them sold millions of copies, with one title being over 3 million total sales if memory serves.
It was ground breaking in so many ways, I believe it was the 3rd installment that used to first full motion video in any game, and was shot on a pro sound/video stage on blue screen.
Many many nights the people in the apartment below me would give me angered looks as I had been up all night playing WC with the sound blasting through my stereo.
I think Roberts' vision and ability is 2nd to none, and this will be THE game when it comes out, and will redefine the genre of space combat. If you take the time to watch and read everything they have planned, the scope of this game is mind blowing, like EvE x 10. I'm a little scared about it to be honest, as if the addiction factor is the same as earlier WC products, and the world they're creating is as big as they claim....many wasted hours are about to be...wasted...
