Where does he say "have no plan of delivering", out of interest? I've re read it a few times and can't find that.
what's the plan? when is it coming out? no one has to say it; there's no plan.
It is out, get on youtube and watch someone play.
it's out? I can finally buy the finished product? awesome! I couldn't find it on steam though. surely it must have come out on steam, such a big release.
maybe I'm typing "star citizen" wrong. could you link me to the store page? thank you for informing me, I'm so ready to take back everything I said once I start playing.
considering the amount of people already playing SC, I wouldn't expect it to be on steam, but that's also not what they said, is it?
must be the world's worst scam if they are actually spending money to make something.
i don't care about people alpha testing unfinished games. I've been talking about release. they said "it's out". where is it. what's the plan. when was it finished. why is it not out. stop trying to feed me bullshit, you're confusing me with someone who lives on hype alone. if I were I'd be playing the star citizen half-game myself.
I mean you don't live on hype, neither do i, but you do live on hate, as someone else here already pointed out, in fact you seem to engaged by hating this game, and anyone who likes it, it seems unhealthy. idk, maybe do some introspection if the yearly star citizen clickbait makes you rage to this degree and consider not using the web for a while, and seeing the rest of your comments across the site only backs up this assessment.
you have called for people to be jailed due to not making the games you want, ffs
hate? what's with you guys weirdly anthropomorphizing a game that's only maybe halfway done in a decade? you got too invested, too attached maybe, that someone calling it a scam seems "hateful" however that works? rage? lol wtf have you seen anyone rage before, mate? calling something a scam is not personal, it's not even an attack. and it's definitely something I live on. I have called people to be jailed for swindling.
how much money has this game extracted from dummies over the past decade? how much money's worth is "playable"? I was gonna say "out" since that was the original claim but obviously the answer is zero. the games not out. but I'll settle for playable since apparently you guys have already given up hope on an actual release and have settled on playing half baked demos bit by bit.
pointing out that you're being scammed is not hate. it's a wake up call. I understand though, an alarm clock seems hateful to me too when I'm enjoying my dream too much.
you should see me talk about the cybertruck.
Are you asking this about any other games? GTA6 doesn't have a release date yet, do you have the same worry?
... Genuinely, I do see the difference between the two, but it's weird to me that people are calling it out for things that aren't said. They say enough; if you can't make complaints based on reality, that's a bit lazy.
Edit: for what it's worth, I'll "move the goalposts" on this one if you come back with some nonsense around how they haven't delivered anything yet. I've played a fair few hours on my ship (probably a few hundred over the last decade), despite not having invested millions of pounds.
I don't know how gta6 fits here. if they did the same thing yes I would absolutely call it a scam.
Sorry, I'm confusing a conversation I saw the other day that said we'd have had two GTAs in the same time star citizen had been in development for. Weird comparison.
Do you think they don't intend to deliver? If so, we fundamentally disagree.
Mismanagement or bad planning is not a scam.
Why is this a scam?
yes it is. if you're asking for money you should have a reasonable plan for paying it off. you can't just take money and say well, let's just see how things turn out.
well, you clearly can, but I'm not gonna pretend it's legit
