Every time I see some SC news I look up to see if there’s any release date announced for SQ42 yet.

It was originally supposed to release in 2014 and it still doesn’t have a release date!

Their business model is developing a game. Not completing a game and releasing it, just eternal development. And honestly it's working really well for them. Why change when people keep handing them money?

More like ScamCitizen, what they are doing is plain old fraud and deception.

It's a cool tech demo, it does things the other space sims do not. But be aware during the free periods the game tends to run worse, it depends on servers a lot.

Around when I first heard of Star Citizen, I remember writing a paper on the Mt. Gox data breach and the bitcoin crash. A bitcoin was around $250.

Is it still free if I wouldn't like to try it?

I'm not going to play a game that wants me to pay more for a ship than my actual house.

Amazingly, I can't even get their website to work long enough to sign up. Bodes well for playing the game...

[–] tupcakes@midwest.social 5 points 8 months ago

I gave up on that LONG ago.

I still can't even get into the elevator from my 'room' without the game crashing. This is on 2 unique PC builds and over like 4+ years trying every now and then to play the game.

It also runs like crap, even on a 4070 super and 3700x the FPS in the city is barely 20-25 most of the time.
