No game has cost more to develop than Star Citizen and this game is far from finished. The other games that cost less are you know, finished.

Well, time to get angry at me.

Is it a grift? Nah. But I think what rubs me the wrong way about the game, is that it encourages the notion that “if fans just give us more money, than that will make a better product.” Which, as we know, is not true. All the money in the world can be put into a game, but without proper management, it falls apart. And…

Fine, it’s not a scam. But it is a cult.  

I remember when Kotaku UK wasn’t afraid to call a spade a spade and call out CIG for the scam it obviously is. I guess the dissolution of the UK site came with a mandate to be more friendly to publishers and developers.

To me Star Citizen seems one of the most flagrant examples of scope creep. Yes, the devs have clearly been working on stuff and there’s progress to show. But so long as they keep adding new features that push the goal post even further back, then an actual release date will be that much longer to come.

Vaporware at its finest, and you all fell for it 

Agreed. The game exists and a lot of work has been put into it. The people working on it clearly want to make a good game. It’s just the victim of poor management and endless feature creep.

I’ll say what I always say about Star Citizen: I have paid no money for it, do not own a computer than could even play it, ever, and my experience with it is pre-pandemic trials at my friend’s place that were extremely janky and broke a lot. My skin in the game is nothing.

But every time I played the game I saw the…

I just wanted another Wing Commander

It’s been 23 years since Chris Roberts stepped out of the the director’s role on Freelancer, a space sim that made all the same promises as Star Citizen, because of the numerous delays and cost overruns. It’s the same story all over again: the dude has a decades-old vision he wants realized, but he simply isn’t a good…

The vapiest vaporware that ever vaped a vape.

They had to go rogue eh......I will wait and see but definitely would have preferred a hand crafted world from them

I don’t necessarily plan to play it, but I’m glad they’re able to move on so that they can begin work on a third completely awesome trailer now.

The thing that makes it so annoying is we’d gladly pay for a lot of these things. But they refuse to let us.

So her tips are generational wealth and nepotism. Yeah...

Stop acting like her not paying a mortgage is some amazing life hack. Her roommate pays the difference between her mortgage payment and what her tenant pays.

“Quick guys! Change from “shoot-the-purple-blob-the-game to shoot-the-highlighted-red-area-the-game.”

Sounds like someone has never reclaimed Rome for their people
