Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games released new videos about its growing game, showing off upcoming features and developer commentary.

I wonder if this game will ever be done or will it stay in a perpetual state of construction.

[LeShin]

Unfortunately, if people are stupidly willing to constantly donate to it, it won't be

[notachance]

It will be cancelled when people stopped funding it and they will earn further money by selling the story to Netflix for documentary stuff

[CorndogBurglar]

Am I understanding this correctly? They're still working on this game but are making updates to existing portions of it while other portions aren't even finished yet?

[rippermcrip]

Full disclosure, the author of this article has been a sucker for 10+ years for this game.

It is a shame that N4G allows this free advertisement for this game like it does.

Sad sad sad.

[jznrpg]

Yeah he always posts the financial update as often as possible . It used to be every few million $

[Bhuahahaha]

he needs to make that hype alive somehow . coz when the money stop flowing his and fellow people that spend 100k~+ investment on this vaporware goes poooof

[SullysCigar]

Gotta keep the pyramid scheme alive until he gets his payout!

[jznrpg]

They are definitely waiting to get to 1 billion before even thinking about releasing this . Apparently there is a big community for this early access forever game and it looks like it could be really good finished state but the milking of money has to turn many people off . They have made the top people of this game wealthy

[Berenger]

This is going to be the first billion dollar video game and STILL won't release 🤣 Who the hell is still falling for this?

[Stanjara]

It's a cult basically...
It's fine to look at it from outside...but don't let them get you on these ship tours...

Star Citizen
The most expensive game to never come out...

[gold_drake]

just looked into it a little bit

turns out, the cheapest entry point is 45 quid, the most expensive 65.
monthly payment is either 10 or 20. not sure what the perks are for the 20.

there are 4 million players atm and the "game" is 10 years old at this point.

this has to be the biggest scam ever. its not even finished base game product lol.

Cloud Imperium Games almost made a giant blunder in letting Roberts be the face of the operation and in pushing back against their cult members. I see they have learned their lesson well.

They figure out that as long as they keep "listening" to their cult members, they can now even go back and overhaul whatever they "finished" and keep the gravy train rollin' and their lifestyle going strong.

Keep creating new stuff, listen to the feedback, go back and fix the old stuff. Rinse and repeat for another decade or more.

Outstanding...

[Welshy]

Lmao the classic "Scam Citizen reveals minor feature as crowdfunding passes £x million" title returns 😂

It was another guy/site who continually posted those weekly until he got meme'd into oblivion in the comments and stopped.

What a joke of a "game", this will never see full release and just continually milk it's 16 IQ community of millions til they're dry.

[SinisterKieran]

please! Stop adding new stuff and just finish what needs to be finished. We’re only just seeing very light implementation of sever meshing.

[Hofstaderman]

People are still funding this????

[Dwarrior]

I have to imagine that this has become a generational thing now. The offspring of initial donors are now donating and it will go on and on.

Mass insanity.

[Demetrius]

This will release before gta 6 atleast they’re showing SOMETHING lol gta 6 has 0 trailers, no screenshots, teasers no nothing lmao
