Chris Roberts' Star Citizen [PC]

[MartyG]

Shocking news for 2021. Squadron 42, the single player part of Star Citizen, has disappeared entirely from their roadmap: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidth...h=7316c0191064

Quick, give Chris Roberts some more money.

There’s something to actually play?

70GB of something is downloading....

I bought this for about £20 when I first bought my PC around 7 years ago. I've updated the RAM and GPU twice since then and when I tried it a few months ago somehow the game ran worse than it did the first attempt.

Thats a lot of storage for a few lines of text that ask you to buy more ships.

Since buying the game I have left PC gaming, returned to it, left it for PS4, returned to it and upgraded my GPU. I might try it again. Does it support VR?

[Neon Ignition]

Nope, they want to add it but like the rest of the game its in perpetual TBC mode. I can't imagine it's coming any time soon

Give them some more money and they might add it to the road map in the future and dangle it as something you can pledge against that they may or may not develop

Lol this game. I sincerely hope this eventually gets finished.

I wonder which will appear first:

The Winds of Winter
The Door of Stone
Star Citizen
Elder Scrolls 6

Why would Chris Roberts do that? There's no reason for them to release this game at all - they can just continue to milk the cow doing what they're doing. At this point I think it's all a big experiment to see how far they can push it

I saw one estimate that they've spent 275m on this bad boy so far.....surely it has to result in a completed game at some point

[fishbowlhead]

No. It wont. For the reasons Marty stated. Its a long con and always was.

Spent on what tho? And when people raise the perfectly reasonably question of how much is Chris Roberts paying himself out of that, the fanboys come out defending him saying "it's none of your business". When you have that level of fanatacism, there's zero need to release anything as those defenders are going to continue to plough money into their sunk cost fallacy.

It's not going to be released, because Chris Roberts can simply keep stretching out the alphas and getting people to pay for non-existent ships rather than risk releasing an unfinished mess that will kill the cashcow dead.

I've got no dog in this fight - I'm just watching with fascination!
