That too, but personally I think that it was targeting way to limited subset, required practically non-existant time if you already have a job, so it was mainly targeting capable people between jobs or college students. Even though I loved the subject of algotrading, there was no time for me due to work etc.

This. I had Starfighter bookmarked to dive into this Christmas during my holiday break. No time before then.


I was briefly sad to see that Starfighter was done, but then I realized that despite reading the rules and bookmarking it, I had never actually played the thing.

Very cool idea, but realistically I can only spend so much time on dev stuff and it wasn't going to beat out my other priorities.


This was precisely it for me. I have been excited for this project forever, but just haven't had a chance to filter it up to the top of my priority queue. Sadly, sometimes things remove themselves from your todo list.


Totally - the business model just didn't hold up unfortunately.
