    In a blog post, CIG chief Chris Roberts said 2024 will see the launch of Star Citizen Alpha 4.0 (yes, Star Citizen is still in alpha) […] However, there is still no release date or even release window for Star Citizen 1.0. CIG will share the roadmap later this year.

    Lol. I wish I, too, was able to convince people to give me 600 million dollars to do fuck all for 12 years.

      They didn’t do fuck all! They have an extremely unstable alpha of one game mechanic! They just need another few hundred million to get everything else done.

      Oh and there’s yet another engine upgrade they’re going to do, and then implement this cool technology over here, and VR, and cryptocurrency, and AI…

    Fuuuuck off. Your cult of suckers is not the majority here. Best stick to the echo-holes you already made.

        It is, don’t let the haters stop you from poking fun at Star Citizen. It’s a ridiculous thing.

        Just like with the Pokémon company, nothing will change as long as people keep throwing money at them.

    The discourse here is disappointing considering this isn’t reddit and you expect people to be smarter. Go download and play it right now if you need to form an opinion, because the language you’re all using clearly indicates you haven’t.

    Go download it and play it if you want to form an opinion so you can actually give it it’s valid critism instead of parroting an internet lynch mob from 10 years ago.

      However, there is still no release date or even release window for Star Citizen 1.0. CIG will share the roadmap later this year.

      12 years in and the update is that a later update will announce when they may, or may not, release the game.

      This is, and always has been, the issue regarding this game. Even putting aside the budget they’ve burned through to date (which is impressively massive), the fact that they are still unsure of when they think the game is done is mind-boggling.

      Years ago, I thought I was being relatively pessimistic that the game may take until 2023-2024 to release. And here we are in 2024 with the “release date will be announced later” updates still coming.

        I mean, it was no secret that the game is an ongoing project with ‘it’s ready when it’s ready’ as the goal. Like literally every other public alpha. So I guess people like me will continue enjoying games like SC, DayZ, Arma, Valheim, Zomboid, 7dtd, and countless others while people like you can keep getting mad on the internet. For this game in particular I got far more enjoyment than I deserved for spending $50 I don’t know how people can justify being so lame and self-righteous.

      played it. it’s no way near a 1.0 release…

        See, the problem is that’s not a criticism for the people that play it. It’s playable now so why slap a 1.0 label on it until it’s ready. Real criticism would be something like ‘weapons in the shop are way too expensive’, ‘it takes way too long to get to my ship’, ‘server wipes are too extreme and I should be able to keep expensive ships’, ‘basic mechanics are not maintained and bug free enough between feature updates’ <- all criticism mine by the way.

      But games journalists are the most ethical and truthful of all journalists and definitely haven’t been misrepresenting this project to drum up drama and clicks for years.

      No need for an informed opinion here, I will keep the opinion The Escapist and the Reddit Hive Mind told me to have, they’re never wrong. Derek Smart? More like Derek Genius.
