Why was the decision made to not have a traditional "friends list" in Star Citizen, and instead go with multiple organizations?asked by Kraysus

Well the way we thought of it is, a friends list is like a flat organization, Chris' friends could be one of my organizations. And I can have a bunch of people in that, and then I could also be a member of some other organizations like bounty hunters incorporated or the merchant's guild, whatever organization I want to get into.So for us it felt like organizations really could be a friend's list, it's just a flat organization, no boss, everyone's just in it as a group. Or you can have groups, organizations that are more hierarchical. Which would be more like a typical organization or a guild.It felt like doing it this way gets the best of both worlds so to speak.
