    It’s still the only game of its type and I very much enjoy playing it.

    5k ship is disgusting, having selection of 1k people to have a window to buy it is disgusting. Having to spend X amount to even have the chance to buy one is disgusting…

    But I will continue to play it. The game has legs and the past 16 months have been filled with content after content drop. People love to hate on it, but the proof is there, there’s no better space sim out there. The new raid is tons of fun and takes +10 people (at least for our org)

    If people wanna throw money? Fuck it, I got no empathy left for imaginary person i never met getting conned into dropping such money on a game. I hope they’re happy with their jpg and one day they get ship they were promised.

      That’s fair, but at the very least you have to recognise that’s it’s fair to call Star Citizen a scam.

      I mean they’ve literally lied about planning to have exploration gameplay and continue to sell JPEGs/cash shop items worth hundreds of dollars when they have no plans to include exploration gameplay.

      Thats just one notable example. There are many others (hundreds of major cases of lying and premeditated falsehoods in search of financial gain).
