Roberts probably hasn't finished taking a shit in his life. I just know he holds in a turd for later.

$800 million doesn't even seem that high at this stage (I had assumed they broke a billion by now).
Whatever this ends up being when it's all said and done is never going to justify the production costs. If you developed a helmet that could trigger the hardest orgasm your body can muster at the push of a button, it would not justify $800 million.

The Duke Nukem 4ever of the new generation
But Duke Nukem Forever was released. Star Citizen is more like Beyond Good & Evil 2.

It'll release same day as gta6 and no one will notice, it'll miss its marketing cycle and they'll need another 500M to make up for bad timing
Humanity will have warp-capable spacecraft before Star Citizen gets a release candidate.
Still may be released before gta6
This has to be some psychology loophole they stumbled upon. It's like religion or something.
It's an experiment for the Duncan Princicle!
It's like religion or something.
Well yeah, people putting money to buy several ships (instead of only 45$ for the basic game package) are buying into a dream. The dream of the perfect space sim, a sim where you can be anything you want. That dream has been growing since Elite in 84 and the X-wing games in the 90. So yeah, kinda religion for the space sim nerds.
Im certain they will deliver, no idea when, but they will achieve it so that’s cool for future gamers. If earth still exists that will be awesome as I will probably be near retirement and will have a shit ton of time to play.
PS: I only own a medium ship that I bought from the kickstarter funding back in 2010-ish ? I wanted it to be my flying space home.
It's coming soon! You'll see! It will come riding on the clouds with fire. And the backers will meet it in the air, and it will take them to be with it in the stars forever.

I think $800m may be enough to place it as the biggest scam in gaming industry history.

I've never put any money in this game. I remember I feel like a decade+ ago they had that ship hanger demo that was the only thing available at the time. I think I installed that. Whatever. If people fund this game and it ends up solid someday I'll enjoy it
most expensive-to-develop video game?
(provided it all actually goes towards that)
I wouldn't say game. Games are fun. Tech demo or simulation maybe.

All that being said, it's a pretty fun game, kinda cool that it's always evolving, and I'm not upset that I paid $45 to enjoy the gameplay I've had. The people who regularly play it seem a little skeezy, though, so that part kinda sucks...
That's my takeaway of the game. I kickstarted like 80 dollars almost a decade ago, still to this day the only thing ever. I got a ship and access to a pretty mind blowing tech demo. So far i probably played like 60hours per year, and it's time to download it again. I just think it's very fun and one of a kind. It can be super janky, and i don't think people should spend as much money as they do on this "game" that may or may not ever see the light of the day. people spend hundrets of dollars on call of duty skins and they then take them away with the new game that is always around the corner. There are nft games that cost 300million dollars too, and they are not games at all, just asset flips and blatent scams.
What do you mean about the regulars? What sort of crowd is it?
Depends. I played with super whales, enthusiastic people, people who do nothing but complain. Overall, the player base is pretty nice and helpful imo. Most of the fun i had in the game is doing seemingly easy stuff with randoms. Like how many small ships fit in a big ship before it blows up and stuff like that. It's really an elaborate tech demo where you have to find yoyr own fun.
If someone asks me why i like SC, i tell them this story: one day i was stranded on a planet, because my shhip blew up. It was just me and my mining car. The reasonable thing would be to just respawn, but the fun thing would be to pay someone to pick me and my mining car up. So i asked around in chat. Someone said he'd pick me up. So i waited, i strated to strarve. I asked him if he had any food. He said no but he'll pick some up. I asked for a double dog, because i'm a dick. The whole chat started arguing about what the best course of action is and what's better, a burrito, hot dog or double dog. A competition started, because everyone was the best and fastest pilot in the system. So i posted a new bounty and the price would go down every 10 min i had to wait. At least 6 people wanted to claim the bounty. I saw the first ship, but it got shot out of the sky, by another guy. Suddenly a small war broke out and i saw the whole thing unfold. It was amazing to see, and one of my best moments in video games. The whole thing was a 2+ hour ordeal of just me sitting on a planet. The game gives you such a sense of scale and helpless and lonelyness that you don't find in any other game i think.
I wouldn't advice anyone to buy it, honestly. But if you like that kind of simulation, immersive space adventures, where you spend a lot of time for pretty "boring" stuff and have a beefy pc to enjoy the beaty of the game. This might be for you

Some mates and I backed way back in the day and only really started putting some decent play time into it recently. While it’s definitely still in-progress we were all surprised at what they’ve done and what’s been accomplished.
It’s an absolute shame about the amount of feature creep the game has experienced but even the experience available now is decent.
Box missions still bugged? Flying out the aircraft? Not completing? Dying while running?
I played a few years ago and refunded because even basic gameplay loops were bugged to non functional. It didn't feel pretty fun. Ended up playing No Man's Sky which was functional and fun.
In the limited time I've played, I noticed no bugs. I'm the kind of "player" who tries to break the game or at least the experience. The last time I hopped on was about a year ago, I played for about 2 hours, and everything was flawless.
What I didn't love is how. much. fucking. time. is. wasted. sitting. on. a. ship. Soooooooooo sloooooooooowwwwwwwww.
If more of the ship mechanics they've proposed (sabotage, engineering, repairs) make it into the game, I'll likely sing a different tune.
For the most part, the game feels like a very very interactive waiting room before the actual gameplay loads.
Personal note: I'm annoyed to no end that you can drink soda cans, crush them, and throw them, but no one ever reacts when you hit them with one and no one trips on them. My priorities are peculiar but consistent.
Release date pushed back another 6 months to add can-tripping mechanics

They should just call it live service instead of early access.
The problem is that a live service game has to be a "complete" game, even at launch; ie. playing any one "season" on its own should be a satisfactory experience for a player. Star Citizen is nowhere near being a completed product.
That's a very fair point!

10 years ago I wrote a report on scope creep and used Star Citizen as the subject. I'm glad I never gave this project even a penny.
That's amazing that 10 years ago it was obvious... and here we are...
