I mean.. this shit was funny YEARS ago.. I can’t believe they’re still able to milk it Edit: if someone did eventually make a star citizen game one day I would love to play it

And I can’t even remember for sure but I would have to say it’s close to 10 years ago now that I had a friend and him and I used to play Eve online we started out with dust 514. He was incredibly into Star citizen put a lot of money towards the game over the years. I heard at one point in time he actually won the lottery and spent a lot of money on the game. He ended up committing suicide. It’s heartwarming to know that even 10 years past that point this game is still not anywhere near finished.

I don’t want to rub it in the faces of the folk who spent so much money on space nfts but I’m having a fuckton of fun in No mans sky. Just overthrew (okay saved from sentinels then got elected but overthrew is more fun) my first settlement! Upgrading my office and the community toilets whenever I find them, my settlement has poisoned air and water

I still chuckle when I think about my buddy getting himself the new GTX 970 so his rig would be ready for the upcoming release of Star Citizen.

They probably need another billion dollars.

The actual statement has too many qualifiers: “As we get imminently closer to launch—and I say that in game development language—it’s very hard to keep it under wraps” “As we get” is not “we are”. He is saying that in some indeterminate future where they are getting closer to launch, they will say more. By not having more to say, the implication is that they are not close. They also soft-cancelled the 2026 release estimate, and did not put forward a new one. If they were anywhere near getting it done, they’d be talking which quarter of 2027 by now.

The 42 in Squadron 42 stands for the year 2042. Compared to Star Citizen, it’s truly imminent to release.

Are these guys responsible for the iranian nuclear project as well?
