Ah, the classic quarterly Star Citizen drama.
I was a kickstarter for this way back in the day. I used to not feel bad about the delay until I realised I bought it a few years after high school. More than once I had completely forgotten about this game and that I had paid for it. Which obviously pretty drastically changed my view on it and the devs, especially after learning a bit more about Chris.
That was years ago and before I learned about shit like the store page for ship pledges that’s hidden and only unlocks when you spend ridiculous amount on ship pledges. The $10,000 ship pre orders…
I’ve gone full circle, now I just want the game to succeed so I can never hear about it again.
But dude, Star Citizen ships are the NFTs of tomorrow!
Think of the fat stacks you’re gonna get when the game drops, the plebs cant buy the pre-order ships and you take them to resale!
Please stop Chris. I’ve already taken out another mortgage and the bank won’t stop calling me. The divorce your game brought on was cheaper by several orders of magnitude. Approve refund pls
Just another $100 million bro. I swear, just another $200 million. Another $300 million and we can finish this!
How dare people spend their own money supporting a project they enjoy 😡
Oh don’t worry, I’ll pour the exact same scorn on people who pour money into EA’s yearly sports games, Activision’s yearly shooting games, every fucking mobile game ever, and all the nicotine stained gamblers propping up their local bookies.
But lets not pretend it’s “supporting a project” or fundraising in any way, shape or form. It’s throwing money at greedy cunts because they have an addiction problem.
And while gambling becomes ever more heavily regulated, gaming seems to avoid it. It won’t manage it forever, and $1000 pretend spaceships are pushing boundaries that will bring regulations down on the whole industry.
every fucking mobile game ever
Check ou Dicey Dungeos and Slice and Dice, pretty good and fair mobile games
I played summoner wars for 100s of hours at my last call center job and never spent a dime it.
There’s no gambling involved in star citizen?
You’re gambling on v1.0 ever truly coming out!
And that’s a joke. I agree there is currently no gambling.
Haha fair, they’re absolutely trending towards a release though. I don’t think most people truly understand the scope of Dev work that’s gone into this game in the past decade.
Oh, if it’s pure “people support”, let’s remove the pledge store and just have donation button. One that doesn’t give you anything in game, but supports the project.
Star Citizen uses clever psychology and social engineering to make people spend obscene amounts of money on in-game ships. I know people who are so catches and addicted to this shit they spend their family savings on the new ships. And that is by design.
They also regularly wipe the Persistent Universe for a reason, and the reason is not this bullshit aUEC farming, but the fact that ships bought for real money do not get wiped, stimulating purchases for your very real cash.
By going to release and having equal persistence for ships bought by all means, they’ll immediately slash their profits so, so bad, and they know it. They don’t want to go release.
One of my friends was trying to talk me into playing it because I like space games. When I found out about the wipes I was no longer interested. I don’t want to put a bunch of time into a game if I’m just going to lose everything periodically.
By the time the game is released, we will actually be Star Citizens travelling through space.
Right, I gave them $500 when I was in highschool (don’t judge me) that was like… Jesus it’s almost been 10 years
Hopefully citizens of a less capitalist space
Release date is set for ten years after Humanity becomes net carbon neutral.
But then pushed back to 10 years after the heat death of the universe.
It’s because it’s a scam.
EDIT: all the downvotes, yet no explanations. I wonder if it’s because there isn’t any way to prove it isn’t.
Scam Citizen
They do have a pretty fun playable game though. I bought one of the basic packs forever ago, and at this point, I wouldn’t even care if they where to exit scam. I don’t think they will, but I’ve certainly gotten my money’s worth out of it.
Is there any content?
More than most games these days
Here I thought they already announced a release version, but it turns out it was just another layer of grift in their infinite grift sandwich.
I understand that no release date yet is bad but could people follow the development before complaining? Squadron 42, the game’s single player campaign, is FEATURE COMPLETE. This means that once all the features are ported to star citizen, the only thing it will be missing is server stuff (like a living market and server meshing) and in game locations like new star systems (the first of which is scheduled to release this year) and star citizen is feature complete as well. The developers have even announced that they are already planning a 1.0 release and will reveal more info soon, which the article did mention. I hate the fact that you can buy ships as well with real money but to think this game will never release is coming close to hoping the game will fail.
