Star Citizen Pushes Through the $700 Million Raised Mark and No, There Still Isn’t a Release Date
Star Citizen has now raised over $700 million, according to figures from developer Cloud Imperium Games.
Is it still a clunky, GPU melting mess?
I tried it like a year ago? Lasted about 2 weeks before I refunded. It was a stuttery mess for me. They have to reset the servers because they go to crap constantly. Several times a day I would run into some game breaking bug that, when I googled it, I would find people talking about how its been that way for years and then there would be the 15 step 20 minute work around. I remember one in particular...I decided to try crime. Did some smuggling to this (honestly really cool) outlaw base in an asteroid. Once I got there I couldn't sell. People said its just like that and keep trying. Gave up after a few days of trying to sell there. Any and all complaints about anything wrong with the game are met with frothing screams of the world alpha and thats how things are in gaming when a game is this 'early in development'
Its a shame because beneath under the Everest size mountain of bugs and poorly optimized crap is my dream space game.

Lol
It has the potential to be an amazing game. But it probably never will be.
I fire it up once or twice per year. It looks great. Beyond that... it's kind of fun to explore a bit, but that's pretty much it. Not sure if anything will ever become of it.
Last I saw it the game was pretty functional in some aspects but we're now at a point where some of the older assets look 2 generations out of date so the game is accumulating a growing amount of artistic debt where the old stuff just doesn't fit with the newer stuff anymore.
If you have a chance jump into the free fly today before it ends tomorrow. 3.23 has been a giant QoL patch and added Vulcan with upscaling.
Reminder that the SC episode of Down the Rabbit Hole came out 7 years ago.
I mean, are people playing and somewhat satisfied? If yes, who gives a fuck about any arbitrary release date?
A tiny amount is, and most aren't. So that should answer your last question.
Everyone: It's a scam, game runs like crap, so many bugs, etc. etc., all valid points.
People who like it anyway: vrrroooommm weeeeeee, pew pew pew, vsksshhh, crash. Reload. Vrrroooooommm.....
Who cares, go have your own fun, leave us to ours 🙄
Edit: down voted for wanting to have my own fun? Fine, I'll go play with my toy spaceship with out you.
If you squint, the Star Citizen logo kinda looks like the symbol for The People's Temple
Alright, have fun, just remember; don't drink the Kool-aid!

You're not going to have any luck with the general population. They've been conditioned to hate star citizen by all these lazy asshole "journalists" that can't be bothered to look into what they're writing about past the big dollar sign...
What really pisses me off though is we get the whole "stupid AAA publishers rushed out XYZ game to meet a quarterly financial report!" with every single game that comes out. "Why didn't they just give it time to cook! Release when it's ready!"
Now we have star citizen almost entirely backed by users with no date pressure as there is no publishing company forcing their hand and they're building what will be the most amazing space MMO we're likely to ever see because they have the time and the resources, but instead of awe we get this trash "ItS nOt ReAdY yEt!? MiLlIoNs Of DoLlArS!" article over and over and over again...
If they did actually follow the project they'd know that SQ42 is likely to be released next year and star citizen is already talking about release 1.0...
Bahh bahh bahh goes the media sheep.
Hey can you just go ahead ban me from any subs you mod? Don't want to accidentally get into chains where I get sanitized mid conversation because of your Pollyanna version of civility and obvious grudge against me.
