i’m that guy who plays Star Citizen, i hope you will too.

Been a backer since 2016, aside from spending the initial package of both the PU and Squadron 42, I spent an additional 15 dollars just to upgrade from the school bus to the penguin. A lot of hate towards this game typically comes from two camps: non-backers who never touched the game or people who were hoping the game would be finished within a year.

This game sits comfortably with the idea that it will actually meet hype and expectations but at the cost of time. Every new update just draws it closer and closer to the reality of what Chris promised during the Kickstarter campaign. I’ve seen a plethora of features that honestly I have seen elsewhere but poorly done, half-baked, or just never done at all. At the current state of the game, I would argue it has more completed features, more gameplay loops, more details than most games out there. And it just gets bigger and bigger without killing bandwidth or my computer. I’m perfectly content with waiting, not a lot of people are but considering the disaster of Cyberpunk 2077, waiting is something most games should strive for.

I’ve backed it in the original kickstarter. Worst mistake of my gaming life. I installed it once every year to see how little it progressed, and no matter how low I Set my expectatoins it never fails to disappoint. This is not a game, and now I’m confident it never will be a feature ready game. If I extrapolate from the progress they made on it so far it will be completed 50-70 years after I’m dead and gone.
