It's a cult

I whole heartedly believe this game isn't scamware.
Their ambition does require this kind of development time because it has never been done before PLUS they are their own bosses to it isn't ruled by retarded management graduates that have no interest in games outside of their potential for ROI.
I don't understand you faggots.
A game is rushed and released, it's a complete bastardized version of the years long marketing campaign. You'll bash it.
A game is delayed because of artistic integrity, technology reworks or whatever else but on the DEV's terms with no influence from major faggos like Andrew Wilson, Bobby Kotick or hacks like Phil Spencer and you guys cry about it, too?
All the money donated is also out of the player's retardation, like a gacha game INSTEAD you get exactly you paid for.
More bitching.
Make it make some sense.

I spent exactly $0000000,00 on this game.

>>715440971
actually i'll make a prediction that it doesn't release in 2026

>>715440661
Good bait, will get some (You)s.

>>715440971
He only pays himself a minimal salary with backer money right?

>>715440971
Squadron 42 is never going to be relased next year

Absolutely unreal

Post your face when you didn't buy Star Citizen

>>715441406
Probably doesn't pay himself at all and grifts off the investment or something like that in order to avoid taxes.

>>715441696
Agreed, but I'll be honest and admit I wish I thought of a scam as good as this one

>>715441794

I backed the Kickstarter in 2012. Played a few of the alpha builds since then. There's nothing really like it out there imo. Insanely ambitious

>>715442453
Then you don't play any space games. But you're right, it would be hard to find a scam with such a mentally ill cult fanbase.

Trust the plan.

wow you sound pretty angry. I hope for your sake that the game releases one day and fixes the issues you had

That's because Star Citizen is literally an 'impossible project' The concept always seemed like a pipe dream that became a reality. I don;t blame developer incompetency here. No Man's Sky and Starfield have the same hurdles.

>squadron 42 is feature complete
Since 2016 and has been reworked, revamped, redone a number of times ever since.

>>715446215
oh well at least ice cream mechanics are still in

This games the real deal. The problem is that space is fucking BORING.

>>715440090 (OP)
from what i understand the game has effectively been out for years, it's just that the content is the stuff you create and the playerbase is mostly second-life weirdos

This game really does have everything!

>keep hearing the "latest build" fixed everything and is great.

>streamer tried to get into an elevator but falls through it
>streamer tried to get into a train but falls through it

Im sure the actual game parts are great.

>>715442453
Yes, a scam on this scale is truly one of a kind.

>>715446558
Why wast any amount of effort on this if you're not going to properly animate it?

>>715440661
I genuinely believe it wasn't a scam to begin with, but they smoothly and naturally transitioned it to a scam over time because it's much easier and more profitable than actually making the game. It's the SFW equivalent of a patreon milking weg, they profit more from the game being unfinished and selling the idea of the game than they would from actually finishing it.

>>715440661
Fucking this
Between then and now, think of how many gaming trends have changed and evolved. I'm pretty sure this is why Half Life 3 (finally) got cancelled, because the old-school linear progression game format from HL/2 was no longer relevant, and was doomed to flop. To STILL pine for funding screams some sort of money laundering scheme.

>I whole heartedly
hello saar

>>715440090 (OP)
I paid 100 money (one hundred dollars) for this "game" back in 2013.
In the meantime I've served in the military.
Gone to university for a bachelors degree.
Got a job.
Quit my job and got a new job.
Moved cities twice.
And Squadron 42 STILL isn't out.
