    It’s not a spinoff. It’s the story-based groundwork for Star Citizen. It establishes the setting, and the events for the MMORPG.

    It has been crowdfunded by all the contributions that went toward Star Citizen, because it contains all the same game systems and mechanics that the MMORPG will have. Except, for the MMORPG they’ll have to work more just to make sure these mechanics work when additional players are involved (network tech is difficult).

    I wish them all the best, because quite frankly it’s the biggest crowdfunded title duo (Sq42 & SC) that we’ve ever had - being more than half of GTA 6 budget.

    It’s not a spinoff. It is the original game that they going to build in the first place. The public universe stuff is a byproduct of that.

      Technically true but multi-player part was reached after the seventh day in Kickstarter and .persistence after 4 weeks and 3 million…so very very early
