Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'
Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'
One day before CitizenCon 2024, Tom Henderson posted an expose on Cloud Imperium Games that doesn't paint a pretty picture for Star Citizen.

So? A bunch a rich people voluntarily funding game development isn't some moral failing, it means they don't have to act like EA and Ubisoft to make a AAA game and I can get in for a good price. Attracting capitalist investors, as is traditional, is genuinely much worse. I paid $45 and have access to all the same content as the whales. I have hundreds of hours in game. If someone stupidly spends their life savings on pretend spaceships and regrets it, it's not on Star Citizen.
It's not like everyone has been tricked for ten years, we know what we buy when we buy it.
they don't have to act like EA and Ubisoft to make a AAA game.
EA and ubisoft are shitting and pissing their pants with rage and jealousy because their own user base isn't gullible enough to do that to.
Everyone knows what they buy when they buy it. No one was tricked. People who play the game keep playing it because it's fun. EA and Ubisoft investors are indeed shitting themselves, using the magazines they own to twist this into a story to of failue because they aren't getting paid, while happily taking the ad revenue your misinformed salt provides.
People with opinions on Star Citizen but only know about it through the hive mind and shitty artices means nothing. Especially when they try to tell the people who actually play the game they are wrong about their own experiences because the hive mind says so.
People buying now more or less understand, but the cope early on in development was incredible, not to mention all the outright lies from the devs about SC and SQ42 dates.
"Almost finished" means "10 more years of polish." Who knew?
Jesus, go touch grass dude. If you don't like the toy I'm playing with, you don't need to devote this much energy trying to tell me I'm wrong for enoying it or being excited for more. It's a videogame. Who cares if it never comes out. I'm excited if it does, I've already got my money's worth if it doesn't. It's not worth this much energy to defend or denigrate. So I'm done. Post your misinformed opinions all you want, just try Star Citizen with an open mind one day during a free fly. Let's just play the games we like and ignore the others and be done with it.
I don't criticize people that genuinely enjoy the
gametech demo. I'm criticizing CIG. You're the one taking that personally.It's a genuine early access game. It's no more a tech demo than any other. You can be wrong about a game you don't play, refuse to try, and don't know anything about all you want. An uninformed opinion is valueless, a misinformed one is worth even less. We'll keep having fun in it without you.
Early access is one thing, production on this thing begin TWENTY GODDAMN ELEVEN.
thirteen years ago, that ain’t early access, that’s a fucking scam that ain’t ever delivering.
Who are you trying to sell this broken mess of lies to? This is the definition of sunk cost fallacy lol.
Yeah keep having fun without us in your thirteen year old tech demo!! We certainly won’t miss the broken mining ships, the random wipes, the endless bugs that toss you out of your ship into space for bumping into something. I’m sure they’ll get to all the stretch goals too, all 65million dollars “worth”! You really showed us
