Some selected comments:

1. Good lord man you are obsessed. Checks ops post history, all he posts about is how star citizen is terrible lmao. What kind of smear campaign are you running here? Go on drop the figure, how much money did you donate in the first place to be THIS obsessed about bad mouthing it?

2. Say it with me: You aren’t forced to spend hundreds of dollars for the best ship. The cheapest to play the game is $35-45. You can earn the most expensive $$$ currently flyable ship in game. There are multiple game loops, cargo hauling, bounty hunting, mining, and being a criminal. Plus other side missions. The devs are the most transparent about their progress than any other game studio with 3 videos a week highlighting their progress. Players are physically FORCED to check a box before buying a ship stating “you are backing an unfinished alpha game” just because a $2000 ship exists doesn’t mean you are forced at gun point to buy it. There is no trickery, support the game or not, in the end it’s the players fault if they feel scammed. Especially with the copious amount of gameplay / let’s play videos out there, judge it for yourself.

3. Star Citizen is a scam. Plain and simple.

4. I told people YEARS ago that this "game" was a scam and would never see a proper release. People got big mad at me. Apparently I was the idiot and didn't know what I was talking about. lmao.

5. You can play it now... If you like it you can spend more... "Game launch" doesn't matter to the people playing it nightly. Also totally normal post history there OP

6. So is this your only hobby? Pooping on Star Citizen? It’s literally your entire post and comment history. I feel for you. Try to enjoy something, let others enjoy something.

7. Biggest scam in gaming history and dumb asses still pay them. Lol a joke of a game and player base

8. How does one even spend this much money and not have a game to show for it? This is mismanagement in its purest form.

9. The sheer Copium posts of star citizen supporters never bores.

10. Who cares. EA makes 7 billion a year and look at how many of those games flop, look how many are unfinished and being left behind. They cant even put their NhL game on PC.

11. Biggest scam in gaming history

Going beyond the obvious scam part and looking at the actual product they now have, did anyone here play it? The bloated budget inherently results in a bloated game with a scope so big it can't even be entertaining.

I was watching a video like year and a half ago and even then it looked so painfully unenjoyable, it was like a 30 minute video all of which was spent mining resources. Everything needed to have a detailed mechanic, I mean that's what you do with a budget that big, which just turned it into a chore instead of a game.

Even if it doesnt bug out on your or crash it'll run like shit unless you have a giga PC. It's just inaccessible to the average person.

My BILs got me to try it with them on a free weekend. My experience(running a 2700x /RX580 with 16gb of RAM) was that it took over half an hour to get into the game, which promptly crashed, then i spent fifteen minutes reconnecting. Then I had sub ten FPS on Low settings at 720p, which took twenty minutes to become playable enough to stop stuttering.

At which point I find out I spawned on a different world from them, so after spending seven minutes getting from my spawn to the spaceport, I had to wait an additional fifteen for them to arrive. At this point Im over an hour and a half into my experience and have yet to encounter anything constituting gameplay; but I have wandered into many invisible walls and encountered no NPCs whatsoever.

Whatever, I get in their ship when they arrive, get back out into space, which takes forever because apparently the atmosphere of the planet I spawned on is especially thick, finally head into FTL travel to my first mission killing some pirates.

Over two hours in by this point, I get my first bit of gameplay, where I have to maneuver onto the ship being raided. Of course, having loaded into a new zone, my fps tanks once more, and I'm struggling to accomplish anything. Then the shooting starts and its some awfully generic high lethality garbage. Whatever, we clear the first floor and I get in an elevator to go down and somehow clip into the floor and am crushed to death.

Then the game glitches out and my spawn point goes back to the starting planet instead of my brother's ship, and I ask them both if they find this enjoyable. For some inexplicable reason, they are having fun. Hats off to them I guess but holy shit that game is fricking awful.

I uninstalled immediately after.
