After Nearly $1 Billion in Crowdfunding and 13 Years in Development, Star Citizen Is Nearly, Nah, Who’re We Kidding, It’s Never Going to Happen

Man, I admit that game had so much promise back in the day.

Today, it's people paying absurd amounts for CAD files to fly around.
 
I don't pre-order, I don't contribute to crowd-funding, I don't pay for Early Access games, I don't buy games at launch or shortly after. I pay for final, finished products. And I don't usually pay until I've played that product first. A scam like Star Citizen never had a chance of roping someone like me in.

I will fully admit i bought into the hype. I've even pre ordered games I've liked the idea of sense. But I am more careful now.

We've all been there. I was a young man once. I used to preorder video games and even entire consoles in my youth. Some lessons are only learned the hard way.
 
Look, say what you will but I salute Chris Roberts for somehow tapping into this gold vein and draining it for what it's worth.

I mean, if people would throw a billion effing dollars at me for promises and ETAs you'd bet your [insert color of your own skin] *** I'd be doing the same thing.

I regret my small portion of that titanic number. Back in 2013.

Me too in 2012, regretfully I even upgraded my pledge in 2013 to get a citizens card and a shirt, I wanted Squadron 42 so much.
But now I'm not even holding out false hope that it will ever release, I've been considering it vaporware since at least 2018.

There was Chris Roberts attached to it, so I thought it was a safe bet, I only learned about his history of not shipping games and scamming film funds later.

If I want some of the preorder content, I might preorder a game a couple days b4 launch, you can always refund if it turns out ot be crap. I did buy Factorio in early access and possibly Grim dawn, but they were already pretty far in developpement at that point and I heard good things about them.

But crowdfunding something like this, hell no
