it's time to raise vidya prices to $100. gamers can afford it.
Is sector 42 or w/e coming out this year?
>Pre-production of Star Citizen began in 2010 with production starting in 2011 using CryEngine 3.
>>739600480Is this game fun? Why are they pumping so much money into it?
>>739600672No, its barely a game at all
>>739600480Hey, if a sucker will pay for a .jpg of a space ship, who are the developers to deny such a service?
>>739600480>post your face if you didn't fell for this scam
15 years to make Privateer But Less Interesting
>>739600731
>>739600480literally money laundering
>>739600672They tell themselves it's fun even though it's a janky demo.The entire game is buoyed by the sunk cost fallacy.Ten years ago you had retards smugly buying in because it was an early metaverse scam, and now those same people are still buying in because it's a metaverse scam.>One day this supergame will be so advanced it's almost REAL!>I'll be able to make REAL money in this game, it's so immersive it's almost REAL!>*game is dogshit*It's Decentraland but with more money because it got in while the grifting was good.
Crazy how the nigga hit the jackpot just by promising something and delivering a half-baked alpha
>>739600480nft of games
>>739600784Well, is what's ready good?
idgiwhat is there to be mad about here?
>>739600872Not really. Inser the Gabe Newell quote about "realism =/= fun" here
>>739600896>get people to give you ONE BILLION DOLLARS over a period of 10+ years>still don't deliver the product you promised
>>739601014That's because they had backer goals that inflated dev time to the point that Dobson would hyperventilate.Plus I assume they're just milking it, and if the retards keep buying, why not let them?
Imagine how much better gaming discussion would be if games cost $100 and had unbreakable copy protection
>>739600480Only "whales" can afford it
>>739600672After 16 years of non stop development they have an empty social zone, the most basic of flight sims and 2 PvP raid maps which are better to rat and gank around the hanger than actually play 16 yearsA billion dollars
>>739600784It's the same kind of logic behind a luxury restaurant charging 500 dollars for a burger. Is it actually that much better than a normal burger? Probably not. But you know what, even if it's worse, the people who buy that kind of thing are going to praise it anyway because the ego blow of wasting that kind of money is too immense.The Star Citizen community is full of scammed retards who will never, ever, EVER admit it.
>>739601014You'd have to be an idiot to actually deliver something at this pointJust keep 'working on it' and taking money
Can affort it? Sure.GL assuming wokie trash deserves or gets that though
>>739600480I can afford it, but I wouldn't pay it. I'm already not paying $70, and for $60 games I usually wait for sales.There's a difference between "can" and "will".
>>739600672Its literally a scam
>>739601295Kek, I had that exact discussion yesterday when my sister told me she's thinking of buying a keyboard for $300>Don't do that, that's retarded>But all the reviews are super good!Yeah no shit people who paid $300 for a fucking keyboard wouldn't want to admit they got scammed, kek
>>739600672Actual parasocial parasite. They perfected the art of milking absolute retards that should not have financial autonomy.
cobra mk3 my belovedatleast you dont cost $500 in elite dangerous...
>>739600672I enjoy it. I like loading a rover into my ship and flying to a planet and riding around. I have been doing some cargo missions and its been fun. Idk why people get so butthurt. If tards want to spend 5k on a ship (that is not even playable yet) then let them. I bought the cheapest package and will buy everything else with in-game currency.That being said, its not optimized so FPS is all over the place. But I enjoy it more than Elite Dangerous or Starfield.
>>739600480>it's time to raise vidya prices to $100make it 200hell, why not 300?I hope it gets worse and worse, honestly
>>739600480How can you justify selling a spaceship for $5000?
>>739600672Faggots are selling and trading ships. It has devolved to an NFT game
>>739600480This is some Scientology level support going on with this game.
>>739600480scam citizen still exists?
>>739600480There is no reason to sell a game for more than 20$Tools are free, knowledge is free, production of copies is essentially free, distribution is trivial, the audience is constantly growing, and you have to compete with over 40 years of classic games that comprise a backlog that could keep you entertained for your lifetime with entirely novel, quality content.>>739600672Hubris and the misguided Kikestarter/90s investor schtick of "more funding money means that more content needs to be made".Instead of just settling for something achievable and pocketing the extra money, the game is a monument to scope creep that also pockets the extra money.>>739604130I don't think Scam Citizen has the same level of government infiltration, large lobbyist groups, off-shore child indoctrination centers and well-documented, unprosecuted cases of torturemurder that Scientology has.
>>739602846You could do all of this in No Man's Sky.
>>739604934completely different types of games.
>>739604994Yeah, No Man's Sky is an actual game that doesn't ask for more than the actual game price and the devs keep adding new content for free.
got the game for free with a AMD cardcan't complain
>>739600480Christ
Here's what's going to happen, if it hasn't already.They're going to stary using AI to "cut costs" and "achieve their goals on the roadmap". This will of course not go over well but they'll do it anyway because they keep chasing the latest thing always to stay "current". Then instead of actual work done they'll retool their entire workflow to keep showing off AI generated stuff to prove it's servicable. Then they'll double down on defending this as they add more and more AI nonsense that will further muddy up the goals and roadmap.
>>739605160Huh, same stats
They've got like 80% of their devs working on the single player game that's been "almost ready for release" and "undergoing polish" since 2018. The multiplayer is getting drip content even though only like 2% of the promised content has been released in 13 years.The content you can do is live service FOMO grind that the writing team put out, gang warfare stuff. Or you can deliver boxes and torpedo a few NPCs to grind bounty hunter rank. Ranks don't do anything yet as far as I know and it's been over a year since I heard anything about this game and I'm confident it's still in that state.I won't be logging in, I guess. Fuck Chris Roberts.
>>739604040Well they usually cost a few million dollars so $5000 is a steal
>>739605432ranks give you access to better contracts, and I think some gear or ships may have rank requirements.There are a lot of contract types including mining, salvage, and the newest one refueling.
>>739604040It's only $76-$151 per person if you have the 33-65 friends required to man it.
>>739600480>>739600672Star Citizen is a cult, not a video game.
A new retard is born every minute that will look at this decades old scam and think "neat, a space game!".
As usual it's the people with no money wanting to dictate how others spend their own money
>>739607557where's the Wave-Motion Cannon?
>>739602495>he doesn't have a mk.iv
>>739608075
>>739608075We're just pointing and laughing at the dumbasses anon
>>739608181maybe they enjoy it and it's worth it for them?
>>739608216Don't care, still pointing and laughing
>>739608331yes, like I said, it's ones without thinking they're in a superior position to the ones with.
>>739608181>WeKill we-self, newfag.
>>739600480Who actually pays for this shit? Like who’s forking out $1k for items to use in a barely playable demo? The game has been in early access for like 15 years. I refuse to believe this is anything other than money laundering
>>739610641It's just rich people wasting money on a dream.
