I remember how I wanted to donate some years ago...

Like, I literally needed to donate. You know the feeling? I was saved by the price tag, I believe it was like $60 for the cheapest ships. It appealed to my remaining sense of reason, and I decided that spending 60 bucks was not justified at the time.

Pretty much the same thing for me.

Funnily enough, Star Citizen is pretty much the only game I've been outright pessimistic about from the beginning. Hell, if you look at my post history I have a history of consistently defending a lot of different games and whatnot, whether I was in the minority or majority.

But as soon as I saw the kickstarter trailer for it, and that goddamn statement about PC gaming being "dead" or whatever, that was it for Star Citizen. And now, many years later, I just keep on reaping the sweet sweet rewards of absolute vindication

Boy, it'd be weird if the reason we keep getting "consoles are dead" "PCs are dead" was cyclical, because of consoles being high-end when they're first produced, and PCs being upgraded over time so they surpass them.

If you are interested in the current state of the game. Here is 2 small example.

Also yes its my face.

That's a 'game' alright. Especially the part where your ship decides to spontaneously convert itself into all of its individual components for no reason at all.

Maybe there was a protomolecule on that planet.

Time: Nine years
Cost: Hundreds of millions
Value: Priceless.

If there's one good thing Star Citizen did, it convinced other, actual game developers that there was a market for space sims, so they went ahead and filled it.

Otherwise, it's mostly just a slow-rolling train wreck that provides endless examples of sunk-cost fallacy and how much money whales are willing to invest into buying their way to being number one.

So glad I never backed this. What a mess

[Robsoie]

After so many years of development, out of having ships that automatically disassemble themselves for no reason in orbit , what is there for the player to do in that game ?

Purchase big ships for real life money.

[Hanzoku]

Purchase pictures of big ships that aren't even in the game yet for real life money.

Fixed that for you.

Looks like after the Pyramid scheme, the Ponzi scheme they should add the Chris Roberts scheme

I'm glad I've backed this masterpiece back in 2012 (I think) with several ships.

Then a few laters I realized how this vaporware turd was evolving and sold my ships with life-time insurance, including a Constellation, for a profit of around 250€.

Best money I've ever spent on a kickstarter.
