I agree, he did not can it.
Also, you have to take into consideration that you are a one man show. Having bought the game and played it from beginning to end twice, my feeling about the game are this:
If I had paid the same price as I paid for Freelancer when that came out, I would have been disappointed. The game is not as good as something like Freelancer, it would be impossible for it to be so give your budget and the number of developers on your team ;) If you consider that Freelancer deserves a glowing report, then your game has done very well considering the difference in cost.
I enjoyed the game.
