pushing the boundaries of game development.

When you push them so far they don't exist anymore... without boundaries you'll never finish anything.

Also, with this company there's no such thing as "feature complete". The whole business model is based on feature creep. They'll always find new things to add. There will always be a scaffold somewhere, once they finished something, they circle back and work on the next thing that's supposed to be finished.

By the time it's done, it'll need a remaster.

Making $100k+ daily

Damn.

$730m USD in crowdsourcing alone. Another $65m USD in private funding.

$800m USD for a project that started pre production 14 years ago in 2010, production the next year and eventually the kickstarter pitch that they have been working for the next 2 years, in 2012, it's been one hell of a scope creep mismanagement ride, more than anything else.

I don't think it is a scam, and we all sometimes just meme and have fun with it, but CR has some of the worst producers he's ever worked with, who are yes men, who couldn't stand their ground on executive decisions against him, and he needs to be kept in check on what he's doing and spending funds on.

That in-universe IRL cafeteria in their office (going by his lavish spending I wouldn't doubt if it was over £1m pounds even) was just the icing on the cake.

My rig is outdated, but I will definitely check Pyro out if they can get it out soon.

This just confirms the latest article.



Morphs latest video features a short interview with a "Senior" Artist, I mean dont you need at least a few years of experience for that?

I've been calling it a scam since 2018. Glad I wasn't proved wrong until now. While the game has some nice features and tech, this does not justify it never leaving early access. There are just too many promises without deliver and players should raised the question if it is worth it all this "investment". I don't blame anyone who believes the Star Citizen vision, but there is a limit to everything, including game development.

They got Gemini heads, they must be stopped, it's Astrology 101, any astrologer know this.

Wonder where the class action lawsuit is rn if it's such a scam

A rabid cult basically funds this game. It is quite impressive the amount of money Chris has squeezed out of them, I'll give him that.

Sounds like he should be an US politician /s

 

[The Cockatrice]

Theres a dude on gaf who will defend this game to death. I guess hes also part of the money laundering. Just take a look at the OT for the game lol.

If you consider that's pretty much the Concord budget, I guess it could be worse.

Concord didnt ask for money 10 years before release promising things and merchandise goodies that still have not been delivered

 

[OmegaSupreme]

People equating Concord to scam citizen now? Impressive leap.

I mean people who paid can at least still play Star Citizen, so that's something.

 

[Trunim]

What kind of people are even supporting this scam of a company? Must be some kind of Stockholm syndrome or cult going on, if not, this Chris guy must pay a lot of money for private security when attending that citizencon. A lot of people would want their money back

 

[Krathoon]

It is really absurd. It is a scam. They drastically dragged out development and are riding the gravy train.

No game takes this long.

 

[Jigsaah]

When I first started playing I got really hooked I'm not gonna lie. I even bought a ship that I really wanted and was subjected to FOMO.

I did watch Citizencon fully hoping there would be huge progress on Squadron 42. Admittedly, what they had there looked pretty damn good, but I couldn't help but focus on what was missing. During the prologue demo there was no dogfighting combat, when the training specifically said "flight training". You're sitting in a turret most of the time, and then fighting aliens on the all but destroyed ship you on.

All the other stuff they presented just seemed so far off that I couldn't be bothered to get excited for it.

As far as the whole "scam" part? The damn thing has taken way too long. It can only boil down to one of two things. Either they are milking the alpha for all they can get, or they are simply incompetent. Neither is good and I'm at the point where I'm cuytting my losses and maybe one day I'll be pleasantly surprised that this game actually comes out.
