Star Citizen has a disastrously laggy stream with horrendous vibes, which isn't a great look when you're past $1 billion in funding (www.pcgamer.com)

It's playable like the way a early access game is playable.

There's streams out there. From the streamers and fans who donated over 10k, it's playable.

For anyone with half a brain... No.

Most early access games are more playable though. This game is just garbage.

That's still more than a tech demo. Just wanted to be sure I had the right idea.

Fair enough, its more like 4 tech demos mashed together in a way that none of the 4 like. The core of this game is clearly more spaghetti code then Kerbal Space Program and is missing the vast majority of promised features after 14 years (like reloading apparently).

We know the scope creep killed this project, just that for people who have put in $1000s its hard to admit. The tech debt alone likely makes this game impossible to make stable.
