Cool. So you like flavour of survival more than creative. Nobody said that you should like all flavours equally. How does that mean the core of the game isn’t the same? Seems like you’re letting your preferences for what the game should be get in the way of seeing how it could be.
Creative is an MMO. Many people, meeting and interacting in an online space. It couldn’t be more MMO if it tried (unless it had a larger player base, and fulfilled the ‘Massively’ better).
Could you though? Can you list those 10 other games that allow for the degree of chiselling, colouring and fine-tuning of builds that Boundless offers? I can only think of one off the top of my head that arguably does it better, and it’s a janky AF resource hog, without even being able to be online. Then I can think of a couple that are roughly comparable and then… that’s definitely not 10.
