Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42

  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.

    if you ask for money promising something and you have no plan of delivering, it’s a scam.

    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

    it’s out? I can finally buy the finished product? awesome! I can’t find it in steam. 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.
