Star Citizen, the controversial yet massively ambitious space simulation from Cloud Imperium Games, continues to defy expectations, shattering its all-time
I never spent any money but I remember being pretty excited back in 2013 or so. Luckily I’m not a huge idiot in this respect and decided to wait until it was at least mostly done before I got it. There’s a few things that have come out of the crowd funded R&D program that this turned out to be, like trim sheets and such that are kinda neat though.
It’s reasonable to be outraged over a scam, or a ‘scam adjacent’ project. They’re everywhere, and literally screwing up the world.
That being said, I wouldn’t want to criticize the gameplay, either. If it’s fun, it’s fun; that’s very personal. But the predatory FOMO aspect is completely fair game.
