JoshA colleague at work I chat with on Discord about #videogames and stuff mentioned #StarCitizen. A name I'd not heard in a long time ... I backed it, like, 1 geologic epoch ago, so I've logged into try it again, see what's changed. Y'all ... this joker is STILL in Alpha. lol #ChrisRoberts, please hire some PM talent, fight scope creep, and at LEAST get this thing to Beta. Plz and thank you. (but it still looks pretty bodacious, ngl) #gaming #pcgaming
@joshwithouthats can absolutely relate.
I didn't play the game for 2 years, and honestly little practical has changed.
My theory is that they are financially disincentivised to release. When wipes are commonplace (which can be "explained" by the alpha), people actively purchase ships for real green dollars instead of aUEC since those are preserved. Also, alpha means devs hold no responsibility, including for your purchases - called "pledges" for a reason.
