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…
Anyone who knew Chris Roberts previous projects knew it was going to go this way. That man doesn’t know the meaning of scope.
We all knew. We gave him money anyway because WHEN (or better: if) he delivers, he always delivered good stuff. Wingco, wingco 2, strike commander, wingco3, 4, prophecy, starlancer and freelancer. That last one mostly.
I gambled with money i could lose. Still doesn’t think it was a wrong decision. Is my money gone? Yeah. It cost me, in those12 years, like 1 restaurant visit.
I also gambled the same amount with elite dangerous. That one delivered. So 1 out of 2 ain’t bad.
Given what happened to freelancer, I think the only way you should give Chris Roberts your money is if he agrees to lead the project for two years, then quit and hand it over to someone who can actually finish it.
I dunno if everyone knew lol, buut all joking aside? I agree with you. it’s only a grift/scam if one doesn’t feel good about the money and time spent. Also anyone throwing $$ in nowadays better be doing it with open eyes like yours or they’re fools
Can we get elon to fund this? Might distract him from politics for a while and stop him breaking something else
Honestly not a bad idea. He could slap SpaceX on half the ships, and the timelines of star citizen releasing are about the same as SpaceX getting to Mars
Humanity will have warp-capable spacecraft before Star Citizen gets a release candidate.
Still may be released before gta6
Hmm, but I think Half-life 3 may come out first.
What about another Duke Nukem?
I’m here to kick ass and chew 5gum…
$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.
Idk I imagine that machine could bring in way more than 800M
I’ve got a helmet like that, only works on women though…
That’s your example for 800mil…?
We might get gta 6 before star citizen.
I’m sure we will
Elder scrolls 6 even
Half-Life 3, maybe?
Wow graphic look sick. Is that luke skywalker?
man im in the wrong business.
guys, i’m making a new game with samurais, lasers, pizza, and master chief might be in it who knows. i just need 500 million dollars and you can play it probably.
Bro stop teasing and just tell me where to send my savings
Best I can do is three fiddy.

The Duke Nukem 4ever of the new generation
Roberts probably hasn’t finished taking a shit in his life. I just know he holds in a turd for later.
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
I think $800m may be enough to place it as the biggest scam in gaming industry history.
India launched a lunar probe for a lot less.
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)This money is technically funding the development of 2 games. And the construction of multiple studio sites
I wouldn’t say game. Games are fun. Tech demo or simulation maybe.
