You know… If Star Citizen comes out someday, and it’s fun? Great! I’ll try it, I guess.

I don’t get the FOMO though. Why care?

Like, why should I think about a game that isn’t fun yet, beyond maybe brief demos? Not my job.

And I’m not against early access or anything.

I submitted a bug report for very early Rimworld, because I thought it was an interesting concept. I played the hell out of it in alpha because it was fun with the modding scene. But that’s a best case scenario… and why TF would I spend hundreds of dollars, and many hours of my life on Twitch, over it? I don’t get it.

I had a buddy make fun of me in 2012 for not having heard about Star Citizen yet because it was obviously going to be the game to rule all games. This was also soon after Yachtzee invented the "PC Master Race" thing, and he was a proud PC gamer who was going to have hardware ready for the job. An Xbox One X is almost certainly more powerful than his desktop at the time was.

Lol

I'm so glad I never fell for this scamware.

Yeah, I spent $60 on a pixel ship and a promise like 13 years ago. Honestly we should all sue at this point

Worth reading some yt comments

Go easy on the dev team, it was probably the first time they've actually played the game.

"Welcome I'm your host Jared." to "Ollie this is your show. Wrap it up." What comradery and unity. I want this content to be mandatory and on live. Make them try to play weekly until the game runs well. Bet they fix it faster.

The energy in this Video feels like the atmosphere of a recently finished HR seminar.

I don't think I want the same experience they had today.

Wow, awesome work guys. Came in the presenting the game how its meant to be played. 4 guys on their own server, abysmal performance, bugs everywhere, one guy literally team killing and badmouthing his other teammates. And then ending acting all is fine. So we as the players are supposed to get this experience you just show us LOL! CLAP CLAP! awesome effort I will give you more money haha

Seriously, you devs literally just jump in on this with no preparation, no moderation, no prior media training. When you are about to literally show the world the best part of your game? Haha really show the effort you guys put in

A billion dollars in sunk cost fallacy. Jeeze. Elden Ring, Tears of the kingdom, most “AAA” games have what, $200 million in development costs?

I can’t imagine trying to be supportive of 15 years of financial mismanagement and frankly what looks like just a long grift.

Overall, fan morale is quite low following this stream. Star Citizen has been in development has been in development for roughly 15 years and has raked in over $1 billion from fans to help fund the development

I think there's a slightly higher chance of human society reaching the technological sci-fi future the game is showcasing before we get the completed game.

It's a brutal watch, and fans have been making fun of the entire experience and expressing amazement over the fact that the team didn't pull the VOD offline.

"Incredibly awkward, cringe, forced, slightly sinister feeling at times, and the local server gameplay was still terrible. No one was having fun here," said a comment under the stream. "Felt like a hostage video."

Each and every one of the people who go in front of a camera to represent the work of hundreds of people needs media training. This is what happens when regular people talk about something they are passionate about and it starts to go sideways on them. A lack of emotional regulation, a reactive conversation, and a strong tone against team work. Such a bad look for the CIG.

Why anyone would want to play a game that sells items for tens of thousands of dollars is beyond me

If you still think there is even the molecule of a possibility that star citizen ever releases, then you yourself are part of the problem. It's been obviously a scam for about 15 years now. It's not happening, accept that.

I gotta see this

almost 2 fucken hours

Yeah idc

I feel like if Chris Roberts had been kept on a leash, this game would have been out and beloved, with a less successful sequel also released.

in the long-awaited sci-fi game

Understatement of the millennia.
