Maybe they can get Elon Musk to take over the company and maximize the grift with an immersive VR promise.

drying funds? how? they must have spent more money than the united states government did fucking up Iraq for fun. a competent company with their funding could have probably started actually colonizing space by now. Jesus.

Mim,

The amount of popcorn I ate because of this saga probably gained me a fair few pounds already.

The good old Scam Citizen!

I got the game and some small ship bundle a year or two ago for like $20. It was a pretty fun game for the cost, but I honestly wouldn’t pay more than $30 for it. It’s buggy, runs like hot garbage even on my 3080 ti, and it’s very much a mile wide inch deep content wise from what I remember

This game should be one of the most prominent examples of sunk cost fallacy

bestboyfriendintheworld,

Marketing and sales strategies are excellent for this game. It unifies in game purchases focused on whales like with mobile games and selling early access to an alpha. There’s also an aspect of collectibles and exclusivity like with NFTs. It‘s also cult like in many aspects. An utopian perfectionist vision evangelized by a prophet.

magikmw,

Everyone who bought in defending the practices is a perfect example of cultish behaviour and copium.

Heck, I bought in, but I only paid $20. And I never played a minute.

Star Citizen

“drying funds”

Have we checked to make sure they don’t have a banana stand nearby? Specifically looked at the walls?

What could a Star Citizen cost? Eight hundred million dollars?

They could’ve invested half of the funds in something else and never had to ask for another dime while keeping the game in perpetual development

Same news all the time.

The idea sounds very very similar to Last Oasis. I heard that just turned into a gank fest on launch so I never played, not sure if it is any better now.

From what I heard Last Oasis was completely dominated by a large few zerg guilds.

theskyisfalling,

Same as. I played it for about 2 hours not really getting very far the. the server went down for like 2 - 3 weeks (this is in early access) so I refunded. After it was back up all I heard about it was massive gank groups and the inability to play at all solo so I never bothered.

I wonder how this game will be different!?

Reminds me of Guns of Icarus meets World’s Adrift. Looks fun.
