I really wanted to like freelancer, I just hated how dumbed down it was in terms of controls and game mechanics. Privateer is it not. I mean, just make an open world game with Starlancer mechanics. I still finished it three times and played a ton of MP. I just wanted something. Although I don't want it enough anymore to be scammed by SC.
