Im still convinced that this entire game is one big money laundering scheme.

Star Citizen is a scam and has been for a very long time. It has been incompetently managed to a staggering degree. Even assuming it ever does go into full release, even assuming it is a true AAAA experience, the amount of wasted time and money to produce it is staggering and demonstrates total ineptitude.

Imagine paying 40 dollars to tweak the stats of your ship lmao. That’s half of a triple A game price.
It’s the most expensive tech demo In existence. I chipped in with like 60 bucks years ago and that is all they will ever get from me.
I mean it’s not a scam. The game exists and you can play it and there IS progress. But how much substance this game actually has besides being a gigantic tech sandbox with impressive graphics.. that is up for debate.

I am a star citizen player and Iove the game even in its current state. But the level of white knighting and gas lighting by many members or the community on this topic is off the charts.

This game is nothing more than a whale trap

This game is the reason I no longer contribute to a games Kickstarter if they don’t even have a functional demo yet

Waaaay back I had an old buddy who, on the same night, informed me about Star Citizen (and tried to get me to buy a ship) and also taught me all about the Q conspiracy that he bought into.

Is this some ai article? The text is really weird and repeats itself a couple times.

Nothing takes me out of a game faster than some CGI’d celebrity face, that since everyone recognizes, it immediately runs and jumps off the uncanny valley. It’s disturbing, and so unnecessary.

Gillian Anderson?

The worlds most expensive demo 😂🤣

Chris Roberts needs to be sued to hell and this game needs to die.
*SC customers are Stockholm Syndrome wallets to Roberts, someone else can do better without being a crook.

“A new **Star Citizen** update”
How can it be an update, the game is still in development which means it should be still worked on before it’s official release anyway.

I can’t believe people spend money on this, its like gaming biggest scam
redditknees
i really need to come up with something that makes a shit ton of money and then act surprised when its so well supported.

Doesn’t this scam have ships worth like 100s and 1000s? Idk why people fall for this crap

I decided to buy a ship once it was completely released, and I’m thinking I will never own a ship.

And it’s all thanks to the thousands of dumbass people who kept giving it money and bite onto that piece of shit.

Fact: Chris Roberts is one of the biggest pieces of shit in gaming and the only reason people even consider him is because he made one good game one time so now he thinks he’s the end all be all of space game creators.
He’s just an ego and a prick.

As somebody who plays this game, this is a crying shame. Star Citizen is an incredibly fun game that has made huge progress this year and people are blowing their lid over these flight blades which offer no change to the player experience. It changes some stats by less than 5% and this stuff will all be purchasable in the game with MORE SHIPS ADDED in a few weeks. It’s a freaking crowd funded game and people are complaining about crowd funding? lol. Notice how they’re not complaining about the Idris dropping which costs $1,500-$1,700 and they had sold out in less than a minute. This ship will be earnable in game in a few months. People are just impatient and willing to pay for the latest ship/feature to get it two months early.
For all of those looking in from the outside, you can and should just pay $40 for a starter ship and game package. You can buy/earn nearly every ship in game at the moment and not pay another dollar to CIG. It’s an awesome game that has come a long way and is progressing faster than ever. It’s sad that the progress is being overlooked by a $30 item that all players will have in 2 moths while progress will be wiped for 1.0 anyway.

They have bills to pay and a lot of employees. I get it but this comes at a cost. Perhaps they could have done something different instead. Too late now though.

But why is there a picture of Gillian Anderson?

They sell everything on the store except a working game.

Don’t worry guys, it’s not pay 2 win because uhh [Robert said that](https://www.pcgamer.com/chris-roberts-responds-to-star-citizen-pay-to-win-concerns-after-removal-of-in-game-currency-cap/) “there is no pay to win because there is no specific win state” and “you win by having fun” so there you have it!
