Thinking about makes me sad.

A close friend of mine spend hundreds of dollars on this game.
This included gifting me an account worth 60 €.
(notice: my pc can't run that game in any way)

It's sad to see starship enthusiasts being leeched dry by companies like RSI.

They promised a game. People spend money on it.
By not delivering a game it just feels like robbery.

@upshotknothole So is Star Citizen some kind of crowdfunded No Man's Sky? That was a catastrophic disappointment that I'm not eager to repeat.

@paco was?
It's still going on!

basically RSI promised all of heaven to the users. If we reach goal # then you'll get <some gigantic feature that would probably double the development time>.

Suddenly RSI was developing their own engine and tools.
Star systems became galaxies, galaxies became super-stellar clusters.
No way they can deliver all what's been promised.
It's bad management (read: greed) on all levels.
