Autism. There's a reason why so many Star Cultists are Second Life refugees.

I might give it a try Day one when the game actually came out
If it ever does

whatever they release will be such a janky broken mess. have you even seen that battlefield clone they made? Shit looks fucking embarrassing.

>not being able to afford a $10k pc and a $4600 ship in SC the greatest game of all time.
Lol poor fags.

Imagine for a moment this game finally released and is actually good, the community will be the worst imaginable.

How in the fuck. Who is the audience for this, who throws thousands of dollars at a game that might never be released

I'm going to buy the standard package later this week. Fuck spending thousands on it though.

it's none of your business how rich people spend their money

Spacer autists are this era's train autists.

>buying something in a game that will likely never see the light of day
You and people like you are the reason videogames suck. You're personally financially enabling this kind of perpetual bullshit. They're gonna get away with it and because of you, they're gonna KEEP getting away with it.

>none of your business
It is EVERYONE'S business if the market perpetually shits the bed

>$4600
>rich
Yeah, nah. Plenty of poor retarded fucks will scrape together everything they can to throw it at this. Do you not remember the toxic Farmville crap that went on years ago? Hell, I don't know because I don't go on Kikebook anymore.

The game will see the light of day user, you can play it now.

Lonely, childless men in decent fields with loads of dispensable income

Why are people mad? With all these idiots paying them for ships they might be able to make a great game by the end with all this $$$. If they don't, who cares?

Sunken cost fallacy. This type of system will immediately breed segregation during release, between big-bux investors and new players.

they are laundering money, right?

>whatever they release will be such a janky broken mess.
It was old news. They fixed it in 3.5. Everything is smooth as silky. Did you try 3.9 lately? Otherwise, it depends on your spec.

A cult. Simple as.

This, bar Frontier / ED there really isn't any chance in hell a modern publisher would make a game of this caliber, so why get butt frustrated people are throwing money to get it created.

This just in, early access alpha is janky, more at 11.

laundering scheme

>almost 10 years of development and still not even close to being finished
True and false, there's two games - singleplayer "Squadron 42" and multiplayer "Star citizen". The latter is currently playable and has a decent amount of content disregarding all of the bugs and shit that can go wrong. Squadron 42 we don't know much about right now but they have shown a gameplay demo 2 years ago, so i'm gonna guess it's coming probably next year if we're lucky

>over $300 million in funding
>almost 10 years of development
Imagine for a second what a competent developer who actually wants to release a game could do with that.

Aran trust fund babies.

so why do they move on to new features rather than fix what's already implemented? Why not make things work right THEN do something new?

I've read in a few "source: my ass" places it's mostly gulf Arabs buying that shit. If that's the case let them through away their money, I see it as reparations.

older single guys who work in tech

>they might be able to make a great game by the end with all this $$$
>so now is the perfect time to buy in, goy

probably also continue to ride that gravy train for as long as possible

probably let scope and feature creep get away from them. There has never been a good super-expensive game
