The production cost of Star Citizen has now surpassed that of multiple triple-A titles combined, including the likes of GTA 5 and Cyberpunk 2077.

    Absolutely no way Star Citizen isn’t a massive scam. I mean, people can be incompetent, but

    over $580 million

    …seems like it has to be some kind of upper limit of incompetence?

      To have spent that much money and yet not have anything really resembling a game, just a glorified tech demo, is pretty sad.

        I have a friend who just got into Star citizen and I just don’t understand why. There are actual games to play.

          I know what you mean, but even the idea of “getting into Star Citizen” doesn’t make sense to me because, well…what in the world is there really to get into beyond the few demos they released?

          The thing is, there is no “actual game to play” that fulfills the dream that star citizen promises.

          Well, at least maybe until starfield comes out.
