It's a scam because they keep selling outrageously priced add ons for an unfinished game that's, at this point, three years overdue for a full release. They've already made their money off the suckers who bought into their perpetual early access tech dem, they never need to actually finish it. If they ever fully release the game with every feature promised in the Kickstarter working like it should after so long in development, then I'll take back what I said, but until then I can't see this as anything other than a scam at this point, no matter how well intentioned it might have started off.

Well I played it during the F2P week and it looked GOOD. I was online in multiplayer, and I did the space fights mode. Thats what I was hoping you knew of it you kept up with the game more than me. I saw the citizen con update, and it looks GREAT.

Thats why I was mentioning it cant take more than 3 more years or so can it? I tried looking up some to-do list (still looking) but yea....Im more so asking what exactly needs to be added to the multiplayer version, and what needs to be added to single player story at this present time. Btw random people who disagree/agree you can do that for a question it doesnt make sense, chime in if you have some ingisht, im really curious about the game (i didnt buy it tho, holding out lolll)

"It's a scam because they keep selling outrageously priced add ons"

They're ships. That's the main source of funding. You don't have to like it, but that's the only way a game of this scale is ever getting made.

"three years overdue for a full release"

Yes, let's ignore the fact that the game is now about 10x more ambitious than the game that was meant to release in 2014.
That said, CIG has been dishonest with backers. They never break news about delays and so on. They just leave old dates until the last moment.

"They've already made their money off the suckers who bought into their perpetual early access tech dem, they never need to actually finish it."

Yes, definitely. They never need to finish it. It's not like they'd get sued or go to prison right ?

"If they ever fully release the game with every feature promised in the Kickstarter working like it should after so long in development, then I'll take back what I said, but until then I can't see this as anything other than a scam at this point, no matter how well intentioned it might have started off."

So long in development ? Have you seen every feature promised in the Kickstarter ? Have you seen the ambition of this game ? It's borderline insane.

It's really this simple :-
Game is very ambitious, therefore it's taking lots and lots of time and money. That's it. Maybe they bit off way more than they could chew, and it's going to fail. Maybe they got way too greedy with feature creep. Sure. but saying it's a straight up scam is incredibly stupid.

Cy is a console fanboy.. or girl... Idk. Probably upset that the game will NEVER come to console.

Early access is a scam !

@PurpHerbison Or, he's not interested in a glorified tech demo. I own a gaming PC and I won't be buying it either, assuming it ever releases.

Have you played any of it? Soooo bad.

I check it every month or 2. I'm an early backer, and don't have much faith in it ever being good :(

Absolutely loved the Wingcommander games.

If they get a bigger studio I would be even more suspicious.

But it’s not funded by players for over 13 years. And it will release before Star Citizen

what difference does it make, it's being funded while you are pissed off, money is money. Why do you have emotion?

Did you know you are so stupid? Like it's almost funny

Hahaha no
