You're seeing Star Citizen now.

The current state of Star Citizen (hilarious scam slash cult) is a unique and one of a kind experience and you're nuts if you think a slipshod spaceship game can ever compare to it.

Squadron 42, the single player component of Star Citizen, will release during 2016. The actual Star Citizen part sadly won't be out until 2017, but the early alpha 2.0 version is already playable and has been a tremendous success by almost all accounts. I know it sucks that the game still needs time in the oven but ultimately it means we'll just be getting a better product.

Sadly for those who still haven't pledged RSI has decided to split the game packages but you still might get one cheap on the black market.

if you're not looking forward to the wet thud of a mediocre game shoveled out in a panic just as the space-game craze comes to an end then you are dead inside

personally i look forward to picking it up at a deep discount after the servers are shut down, installing it and then never, ever playing it.

How could it possibly be a scam when even Smart himself has admitted that most of the money has already been spent on the project. hmm yes, clearly Chris using the money exactly like he said he would is a scam. I can't really overlook this kind of ignorance now that 2.0 has been released, there clearly is a game and we are seeing as it grows into a finished product.

Are there links to the good/informative posts in this thread available anywhere? Because the OP is pretty interesting and absolutely crazy, but I don't want to wade through 1000 pages for updates. Or is everything after the first page just goons obsessing about stuff until it becomes creepy as per usual?

That thread is toxic hellhole where no citizen should go. If you want to good information you should check reddit or RSI's own site.

That's not great either though cause thats full of rabid fans going the other way and outright lies from the scammers.

you say the answer is an obvious laughing no except anyone who has played the most recent alpha patch will tell you it's actually now become a really fun game but sure keep bashing on something u've never tried lmfao

This only proves that the project is not only real but advancing at a steady pace. It's buggy, yes, but pre-alpha software usually is. Bugfixing only really starts once the game is fully feature locked.

Also, that video only shows that this isn't some soulless AAA production by a faceless mainstream publisher. The people developing Star Citizen have a real passion for the game
