    I’ve played the game when it was free for a while and I’m wondering why this doesn’t happen more often. The game is a pile of huge gameplay concepts, wasted potential, repetitive mechanics and a ton of bugs. I like what it could be but we’ve lived in that illusion long enough, chances are this will stay in development and eventually just cease to exist.

    There’s a very small chance it will get officially released but honestly nothing I even have to consider.

    If only the developers started to to finish and polish parts of the game…

      Aka the No Man’s Sky approach. After the disastrous launch the team focused on one specific component of gameplay and got it to a place they liked and then moved onto the next.

      I am personally convinced that Roberts is trying to keep Star Citizen limping long enough to retire before the shit storm of lawsuits hit the company.
