      Oh it’s not one tech demo, it’s several. They aren’t connected. If they aren’t connected it isn’t a game. People just don’t want to admit they were scammed when they “bought” that fancy ship in that “game”.

        Are you mad that parts of a game arent coded as a unified whole l? If those individual parts work, and they seem to be maintaining enough of a player base to continue funding the game, why are you actually mad? Are still trying to keep the meme of “Star Citizen Bad!” going when it is clear that the game doesn’t care what others think, the players don’t care, and no one is copying your sentiment?

        That must be tough.

          I’m not mad I just don’t trust the Devs of Star Citizen. I think their monetization as a whole reeks of a scam and I don’t understand why people defend it.

            I don’t think it’s a scam but I agree with some of these points, cig can’t be trusted with a deadline, you are setting yourself up for a disappointment if you think something is being released on time.

            They have some obvious cash grabs, like the atls, which takes the tedium out of the newly tedious cargo update. But that purchase isn’t necessary and was made possible to buy (for very cheap) with in game money in the patch that released yesterday.

            I think people can take issue with the funding model while still believing in the development effort as a whole. The funding model can change, after all.

          Wow, the cope is real. People have to be mad to call out the problems with a game?

          Be honest, how much money have you spent on it?

            The problems they’re calling out aren’t really specific to anything though. They’re just kind of generalizations that sound like they got formed from news articles rather than observing the development progress.

        What tech demos are you referring to specifically and how are they not connected? I guess there’s flight tech, fps tech, cargo tech, economy tech, etc, but you can walk to your ship, fly off, land somewhere, shoot guys, loot some cargo, put it on your ship, fly back to a city, and sell it, all in one go.
