Forums - Gaming Discussion - The reason Star Citizen will take forever to make

It's more like a proof of concept than an actual game

While it is really annoying it also is kinda admiring. There is nothing wrong with taking forever on a game but they just have the luxury that basically no other game has and that is a seemingly endless flow of money before it's even released. Though it really does make me wonder what's gonna happen after release. It's gonna be a huge game and will need some manpower to maintain it and I'm correctly assuming that the producers are already way too used by the constant money flow. While I don't think they'll go as far as gambling I do expect quite aggressive monetization.

dont they already sell ships for ridiculous amounts of money? 

Yeah, they're already setting a bad precedent by charging huge sums without even having a game attached to it. I will not be surprised if they ever sell ships that cost thousands. Not sure how sustainable that will be though. They'll probably want micro transactions too.

Unless of course this is a dream and they somehow have rich sponsors that pump them full of money for the passion. I mean if I was rich I'd totally do that.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

star citizen is the biggest scam in gaming

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Star Citizen just seems to be a bottomless money pit at this point. It really makes the case for having publishers watching over their shoulders, as much as I dislike a lot of them.
