I half expected this to just say “When it’s done” :D

Is there an actual game to play now? When I backed this a decade ago I kind of expected to see this game before I turned 30.

I've moved full to Mac since I purchased Star Citizen. I guess I'll never get a chance to play this.

You can see people play this on Twitch, but it'll only be fun if you have a bunch of buddies to roleplay with in the world. Not much of a "game" yet for lack of interesting gameplay loops.

Here's a bunch of people having a good time and making a video out of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31v7sSGfTm8

Looks like less is done now than before. Chris roberts and sandi Gardner are theives and prey on the dreams of hopeful space gamers. Shame.

I bought a ship relatively late, in 2013. I also built my gaming PC that I'm still using to this day around then hoping to have something beefy enough to play Star Citizen. Obviously that was stupid, lesson learned.

Chris Roberts has made some phenomenal games that I absolutely love, but even Freelancer was in production hell for years before being reigned in by Microsoft. Star Citizen is pretty much all of those huge ideas he has always wanted to build on but now with an essentially unlimited budget funded by idiots like me that believed he'd actually be able to deliver an actual game.

Seeing a progress tracker for it is just a slap in the face. They aren't being held accountable by anyone but themselves and they've proved time and time again that they're incapable of sticking to timelines. They'll just create more awesome looking tech demos that are probably not even linked together into a fully realized and playable game.

If Star Citizen could actually deliver everything it promised, it'd be a damned near perfect game for a nerd like me who loves science fiction, outer space, and epic space operas. The idea of zooming through the cosmos on my ship "Freelancer" with a group of friends doing whatever we feel like, exploring new worlds, fighting space pirates, and getting a drink on an old and decrepit space station built a century ago sounds like everything I ever wanted in a video game.

Sadly, Star Citizen will never be that game.
