Star Citizen is flawed in major ways, but it’s still my favorite game even unfinished. It does things no other game does. It’s a broken, incomplete experience, but it is still my favorite thing regardless.
It’s easy to hate on it from the outside. I was an early backer and I echoed the sentiment many of these articles have. Last December I hopped into the Alpha with a friend and after playing it every week for the past 9 months I have to say that while I acknowledge the slow and flawed development, they made something I think is awesome today. It’s maybe never coming out, but there’s a sandbox today that’s been worth exploring.
Yeah no one can argue that it isn’t a giant mismanaged, drastically overdue mess, but it’s literally the only game of its kind right now, I haven’t played in a little while now, but earlier on I put easily hundreds of hours into it
That being said, God I wish they’d get their shit together and get the damn thing finished… At least just SQ42…
The cheapest buy-in some years ago was like $35, and everything above that is like bigger ships and insurance on those ships if they get destroyed, IIRC.

And I think this is what divides the folks who enjoy Early Access games and those who do not.
I do think it’s lovely the kinds of people who acknowledge the warts and yet are still inspired to play.
How much have you spent on it to get the experience you have out of it?
