Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I’m no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

    Lawsuits for what? They never promised any customer that they would immediately deliver a working end product. As far as I can make out, they offer early access to an in-development product, with your purchase going toward funding development. It’s more akin to a donation with strings (access to the product).

      Yeah. It’s not like they defrauded a government out of tens of millions of dollars (looking at you, Ubisoft)

        Your hate boner for this has lasted about as long as the development cycle you’re bitching about and you should really see a doctor about that.

        I’ve literally never paid for Star Citizen. Not sure how I’m supposed to be a sweaty fanboy…

        It’s a large scoped game, and from what I’ve seen, they’ve slowly been turning it into an incredibly feature-filled game that goes beyond the scope of what most other games deliver.
