I was this 🤏 close to buying squadron 42 years ago, as it was just about to get released. dodged that bullet.

psx_crab,

42 years ago

I heard it’s been in development for a long time but didn’t know it’s this long.

pyre,

this is why you should buy games that are released

Right. Never pre-order games. Ever.

I’ve spent hardly any money on that game. I did the first 20 bucks. Then a 15 to get a tiny mining ship to help get in-game money. But I wouldn’t have even gotten it if it wasn’t for my partner REALLY liking the “game.”

I might like it too… if it actually worked and every bug I’ve ever encountered being perfect for setting all my progress to zero or even backwards. Because you have to buy supplies to do a mission.

So fuck that. I’m not playing it until I can make progress- which will be never.

I think it’s high time we just ghosted any news of this scam of a game and studio.

SleepNotRequired,

I write this under YouTube videos that keep referencing it in their “Upcoming Space Games” lists.

Seems like an outright lie for the past…decade or so.

Deyis,

Smells as bad as it sounds.

rimjob_rainer, do games w Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed

Vote with your wallet and don’t buy this. Many years ago we’ve got dedicated servers and free map builders. Nowadays we get matchmaking and 3 maps and additional 3 for 20 bucks.

Mamdani_Da_Savior,

I played the BETA, its good, I’m buying.

smol_beans,

When it comes to video games you will always get outvoted by millions or children who don’t know any better and don’t care.

Duamerthrax,

Oh no, whatever will I do with my time if I can’t play with literal children.

MyOpinion, do games w There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps

One of the biggest scams in gaming.

Honestly it has some cool shit going on. Its a real shame they’ve attached themselves to this business model of exclusivity. It seems it also effects the development of the game heavily.

Pretty sure its the unchained peter molyneux that was the birth and death of star citizen’s development :p

Everyone can pull a little molyneux, as a treat.

@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

At least Molyneux has put out some good games. Yeah, they don’t have all the earth shattering features he’s promised, but there’s some good titles in his portfolio. I’m not convinced Star Citizen is a good game.

DacoTaco,
@DacoTaco@lemmy.world avatar

Those games had a publisher telling him no to features and needing to finish existing stuff and not have scope creep to begin with. I said unchained peter for a reason :p

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

That’s fair. As far as I know the same was true for Chris Roberts. Well, it wasn’t so much that he had a publisher that would edit him as it was that he was fired and Microsoft came in and cobbled together what was there into an actual game (Freelancer).

He must be thinking we get the same healthcare they do. That’s how far removed they are.

racemaniac, do games w The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead'

This is a great initiative, and Ross did an incredible effort, and i hope this second wind gets the petitions the signatures they need.

Infinite respect for Ross, he can truly say he did everything he could do.

SnortsGarlicPowder, do gaming w Gooner game of the year Stellar Blade's mods are 41% smut, ensuring gamers will never see the light of heaven

41% is way less than I was expecting.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I bet compared to the base game outfits it’s not even that high

burgerpocalyse, do games w Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project'

i don’t even know how you could meaningfully mod Starfield. the game is rotten to the core, you would be better off making your own space rpg

@DarkFuture@lemmy.world avatar

And it’s an impossible equation for most Americans to pay more. Especially if things continue to downward spiral.

Where’s my eye patch?

Look, the CEOs already have the fifth cheapest yacht chef available on their payroll, what are they supposed to do? Source the caviar themselves?
