Tbh that is my hope aswell. That the gaming industry takes note of the succes of this crowdfunding and make a similar game. I fear that is the only way we'd ever get to play a game like SC.
Such as Elite....NMS....CODIW....MEAndromeda...SWTOR....and others.
SC isn't the only game of its type that is available. And if it is promising a lot...other games are as well.
SC is ambitious in that it is promising to launch as a "complete" game...one with all or most content already avaiable.
Elite is planning character creation...atmospheric flight and landings....FPS and boarding....and more.
But SC is promising to launch with everything in one package.
True...Elite has its own problems and issues. It can feel empty at times, there are few tools for multiplayer clans/guilds and there is plenty of room for improvement but it is also released, with a viable working game model and is continuing to undergo development and expansion.
NMS also has issues but it also is continuing to be developed
SC is promising to launch with all this in one go. Personally, I think trying to do everything at once is going to cause its own set of problems but who knows?
But...other than that ambition, SC isn't doing anything other games aren't. And while you can hope it will do it better, look at all the disappointing games that have been released in the past
