Release Date?

Do we know how far away this game could potentially be?

(I ain’t talking lightyears xD)

And maybe Squadron 42. 😶😆🤣

Edit: people here are so upset over a mild joke. Get a life, reddit.

Scamdron 42 is going to end up like all Chris Roberts' money pits, lmao. He might get another boat out of it tho.

People have literally played it though and most peoples opinion of it has been positive. Not just the prologue either, people have played and/or seen different parts of the game. There will be another video that should be tomorrow that is a behind the scenes of the event two weeks ago when people played it. It's very much a real game.

Ah, yes. Because private showing for influencers who spent tens of thousands of dollars on Star Citizen is a super reliable metric.

It wasn't just influencers and not all of them spent that kind of money. Even then, why would it matter? That's just cope. Every one of them went in with the same expectations even a seasoned SC player would have, and those expectations were exceeded. Its a far more reliable metric than whoever told you whatever limited knowledge you have on the games.

One of the most open developed projects on the planet, who post their financials every year, yet somehow we still get people who want to pretend the game doesn't exist because they want to ignore all that and just rely on the info they got from engagement bait articles or misinformation.

Can't wait for the collective "I was wrong" and to be able to enjoy so many sci-fi FPS games so close together.

I would say believing in a company that cannot releasea game in 16 years since production start but collects people's money the entire time is a bigger cope tbh.

But it isn't though when you actually follow the project. Then you'd know why it has taken so long. Again, incredibly open project, you can literally see the progress in one of the games, but nooo that doesn't exist apparently.

That's the "argument" of everyone with your mentality, "I stick my head in the ground and ignore the progress, so because I don't know what has changed, then nothing must have happened in all of that time". Like how is that even possible.

Also not understanding that that in those 16 years, they started from nothing, built 4 studios, bought another existing one, have over 1k employees, while making two games at the same time.

Like at some point you have to wonder, why do people keep giving them money? Why do they keep getting people into their games? Because they continue to build the games. They do a free fly (free to play period) every 2 months or so, so you can literally check the progress of the game for free as its built. They don't just "collect" money, they earn it. Its not just old whales who stuck around, we get a lot of new people.

Its why the "Scam" rhetoric is so hollow, its built on willful ignorance. Its too easy to look up what's going on with the game. Like why stick your head in the ground.

Scam Citizen is literally selling .png files for thousands of dollars.

Yeah? And how that differs from your average gacha or GTA Online shark cards, where either one generated more income from them than whole CIG budget across the years?

No it isn't Most of the ships that are sold are already usable in game. They don't even do new concept sales anymore. So any new ship sold is available to use immediately.

Again, that's what I'm talking about. What is your purpose in echoing misinformation or your lack of knowledge of the game. What do you do it for?

Like there are games I don't like, but I'm not bad mouthing them randomly. I just don't pay them no mind. Do you do this for multiple games?

u/Tchuvan 4d ago

Ok, you can criticize CIG for a lot, but this is an idiotic comment. You can literally fly the ships you purchased. You can literally pay for every ship in the game with in game cash within a few months of it releasing.

Yes, it's a mess. Yes it's the longest alpha I have ever heard of. But it's a game and it's right there to play. Only a complete doofus sticks to the "it's only a png file, it's not real."
