The reviews have been so universally negative on KSP 2 that I haven't bought it yet. Anything I'd say would be hearsay; you can go read the reviews yourself. My impression is it's standard enshittfication: some asshole MBA saw a company that wasn't as shitty as it possibly could be yet, so they bought it, fired/drove out the original team, and made a cheap-ass knockoff 2nd game hoping the laurels of the first would drive sales long enough for them to make some quick bucks before buzzing off to parasitize another company. The exact details may be different but it's basically the same story happening over and over and over and over and over in our dystopian cancerous capitalism. We can't have nice things anymore.
