I really hate-love this game. On one hand, the slow development despite insane amounts of funding and the way they’re raising that funding feels slightly predatory. On the other hand, they’re offering, and painfully slowly delivering, the exact game I have always wanted to play.
2032 is gonna be really rad when this game goes into early access on steam and i can pay $90 for it and get these 48k ships as a preorder bonus.
2041 when it hits 1.0 is going to be even more lit. I expect by then it will be used to control an actual spaceship, as otherwise there is no way the CEO can escape his fan base after bilking them for billions of dollars.
I had more fun with the recent Steam sale of Elite: Dangerous Odyssey than Star Citizen. Mostly because I can easily play it on the Steam Deck without issues and that it’s actually a completed game that didn’t take a decade to stay in pre-alpha.
