I know it's classic media, but I don't understand how you can write such a puff piece about a developer after 15 years of missing targets.

Star Citizen has been in development has been in development for roughly 15 years and has raked in over $1 billion from fans to help fund the development.

...some are starting to question if the team is capable of achieving its goals.

  1. There are clearly a lot of people who would like to buy a good space opera video game with ship-to-ship combat.

  2. Fans are vastly worse than publishers about being able to make an objective call about cutting their losses on projects that have gone off the rails. A publisher would have cancelled the game a long time ago.

I'm surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit to recoup funds yet.

Same. Got in on the $40 ship/package.

Played some death match years ago in low/no grav and that was pretty cool.

Just get the ick when thinking about how awful their monetization is.

Same, it’s kinda like driving past a car crash, I shouldn’t look, but I morbidly want to
