Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games announced that it's closing its studio in Santa Monica, Los Angeles.
One of the most relevant premises of Star Citizen will become reality tomorrow with the release of its biggest capital ship yet.
Chris Roberts really hit the jackpot with this thing. That guy has been living the high life based on broken promises, feature creeps, what ifs, non existence deadlines, roadmaps to roadmaps to roadmaps, and, no real games. But instead, an eternal Early Access buffoonery shit show that I imagine will be dragged all the way to the finish line one way or another. But when will that finish line will be, or how will it look like, it's anyone's guess. Something tells me it'll be the stuff of legends for sure, and something that will feed YouTuber's families for years to come.
Eleven fucking years... wow...
Having no version 1 deadline is crazy. Why couldn't they just release a complete Game and then continue developing it? At least then they could break the stigma?
That's the $800 million dollar question, isn't it? While a normal dev would've just done that, while spending the next 11 years updating, expanding, and supporting the game, Chris Roberts saw the possibilities in doing the complete opposite, took his shot, and hit the Jackpot instead. Unbelievable that it actually worked.
I guess we'll see just how much longer they can keep up with the charade - eleven more years? - before it all comes crashing down in classic Roberts fashion.
This game will never reach the finish line.. it will eternally be in early access, we'll be on GTA 10 before this game reaches 1.0
Invictus Launch Week 2955 has kicked off in Star Citizen, meaning that the game is also free to play for a limited time.
Today, Cloud Imperium Games revealed a new vehicle that will be released in the space simulator Star Citizen quite soon, the Greycat MTC.
Final stretch? Will that take another 10 years?
The only thing getting stretched are the backers behinds.
The only stretch here is the idea the game will ever be finished.
Chris Roberts -> Scam Artist
That'll be a tiger cot. Stopped off final stretch to be one last big push of effort? So then why would you get rid of people?
