Star Citizen’s single-player campaign misses beta window, doesn’t have a release date

 

The scam continues. 

 

Quote

This is essentially the community around this game:

Devs: Hey guys, we want to build this super cool house for you with a pool and an arcade and a theater system and 5 bedrooms and a jacuzzi in every bathroom. Just give us a couple million and we'll have it ready in 5 years!

Backers: Awesome! Here's my college fund! It's gonna be so cool having a pool!

2 years later

Devs: Hey guys, so we built the pool. It's got no water but you can go down the slide! We'll get to the pool after we build an observatory in the attic! Just give us a few more mil and you won't regret it!

Backers: Oh, gee, golly! An observatory!!

2 years later

Devs: Hey guys, we pput a telescope in the attic, but it will be a full observatory later on we promise! We hired Gordon Ramsay for 5 million dollars an hour to cook food for the backers for the first week in the house! We also want to build a golf course in the back!

Backers: Gordon Ramsay! Wow!! So how about those bedrooms and the pool? Are they finished? Can we move in?

Devs: Still in development! The bedrooms have been made, they just dont have beds. Or windows. But you can sit down in them!

10 years later

Devs: Hey guys, great news. We finally put a couple gallons of water in the pool. Now we're working on a race track around the house for everyone to go kart in! Just send us a couple mil, plz.

And so on. The poor sods who have actually invested in this game love paying for a house that will never get finished. And they will defend their shitty, incomplete house. Years from now, researchers are going to have a field day studying the intense sunk-cost fallacy of the SC community.

 

:roflroll: :rofl:

I haven’t been following this 

but how exactly is it a scam if it’s available to the backers in whatever form & they are willing to pay more irrespective?!?

 

What's available is bare bones stuff and will keep only delusional people happy. Initial Kickstarter backers were promised one thing and constant feature creep made this into something different. Also RSIs non transparency on what's actually happening, no release dates, refusal of some refunds make it a scam.

 

What's sad is, I think they raise another $77M this year alone so clearly whales are still pouring money into it. Perfect example sunk cost fallacy.

This is basically if CP2077 and NMS were early access kickstarter funding boogaloo games.

Unending gravy train of fund allows SC people to continue promising the moon, mars, juptier then neptune while delivering on nothing, no "cut content" also since there is literally no deadline, and the promised features are coming "vely soon" ad infinitum.

The Rumoured Naughty Dog and SSM Space game will come out before this nonsense and crush it to the core.

 

Still in Alpha and releasing in parts :rofl:

 

I cant even believe this. 

 

What great complexity it is that its taken so many years and still not out. Why they keep adding new things rather than delivering whats planned :doh:
