If it does, I'll glady pay the $50 to play it. It sounds awesome if its released exactly as pitched. But I would also create a clan that is only for people who purchased the game for retail price and never paid an extra cent. I dont want fiscally irresponsible people in my clan.

The original kickstarter backing wasn't bad, but then they kept selling shit and idiots continue to buy that's the problem. At one point, they literally sold a ship that was still in the concept phase that was built around gameplay (electronic warfare) that was not only not in the game, but wasn't even on the development plan yet. It sold for hundreds of dollars and sold well.

Star Citizen did right what Disney fricked up with Star Wars. Instead of chasing a new audience that doesn't care (nu-Star Wars), Star Citizen aimed at PC g*mers from the 90s that are older that have tons of disposable income and a wiliness to spend it on crap.

Not only does the studio not have an incentive to release the game, they are actually disincentivized to do so. A tight, well playing game means the whales don't throw money on vague concepts and promises because they're too busy playing the real thing.

i'm still convinced it's money laundering because come on, nobodies that dumb... right???

I got the cheapest aurora pack (40 dollars) and I had fun, I also played elite and Nms and they feel like kiddie pool compared to what this game has to offer.

Elite dangerous is a dad game. The game plays itself and is grindy as frick.

No mans sky is Minecraft at space with absolutely shitty combat(just like Minecraft) which also gets boring super fast.

But this? Star citizen offers you tarkov/Dcs/war thunder combined on a huge scale. Yes it's buggy as frick, but no other game offers anything close.

Did the kickstarter pledge with the Freelancer package. Don't regret it since these types of games just don't get made all the much anymore when it used be a key genre for PC gaming. Also, it was meant as a donation, not a purchase. If it didn't work out, oh well.

The game doesn't have to be perfect, just shore up the key concepts (explore, trade, combat, mining) and get it out. Once they realized the simps would spend hundreds of dollars for a ship that not only wasn't ready for release but was still in the concept phase however, it was doomed. If the money tap ever stopped we might get something decent eventually, but just try and argue with the idiots given away their money on the subreddit. To them, Chris Roberts is the hottest OnlyFan girl they've ever seen and with just one more purchase, they might get to frick him.

I almost want it to fail at this point just to watch their reaction.

I backed it on Kickstarter mostly for single-player Squadron 42.

No it always seemed dumb how did so many of you fall for it

I bought their like 30$ pack or whatever like 12 years ago and just flew around

Haven't touched it for awhile.

I spent $35 on the original Kickstarter and never expect to actually play it

i bought a $60 ship in the og kickstarter and see no problem tbh.

there's still no precedence for game of this scale @ that fidelity, so people complaining really have no basis for doing so other than random feels.

maybe it's not even possible with modern tech, but why neg against trying to achieve it?

i'm so overloaded in shit iterative junk games, it's nice to see a dev strive for the highly improbable.

I got the starter and all I do now is log on every patch to see what new things they added to the comfy cloud tech before the game crashes

I bought a regular, $60 ship and nothing else, which came with the game too, so I paid a normal amount for it. I'm not that upset.

I bought the SQ42 + MMO package for $45 back in 2012 and then won a $90 ship in a youtube giveaway.

A friend of mine has some sort of thousand dollar ship.

No, I'm not joking.

This neighbour needs to make Part 8 already.

You're right it's still in early development (10 years)
