Chances are they will continue to buy ships even after that.

Probably better than if the game actually launched and was everything they dreamt for. Because then they'd realize for them the excitement was in the wait, the speculation, the communities that were forming and their little bubbles they could share handies. After the game releases they'll find themselves at a loss of all that and they'll despair. Even if the game was the one they had dreamed of it'd never live up for the excitement of the hype.

It's actually pretty impressive right now if you are into space. I rather enjoy mining. Put a little Carbon Based Lifeforms on and chill. It scratches the space exploration itch.

Star Citizen is one of the best examples to this day of what we call the sunk cost fallacy.

It's the same reason why people stay with organizations like Jehovah's Witnesses. "Oh, I invested so much of my money, time and myself into this, I can't bow out..."

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

Or, maybe not.

Don't watch that unless you're really interested. The guy is an early backer. I'll just quote him at the end:

28:30: "As of Star Citizen 3.5.1 at the time of this video, Star Citizen is an absolutely unplayable fucking nightmare."

That's part of the reason behind sunken cost from just a monetary point, but there's also the deeper value investment. The other bit is what this game aims to provide, however unfeasible, a scope no typical game has and a chance to get it that won't come again at least for some time (especially if this fails).

To use your example of JWs, it can also be that to abandon it after the end of the world predictions come and go within incident means abandoning too much of what they've hitched to that particular star and they don't want to live in a world without it and let down by it.

The fans want everything this game promises to deliver and it's become a promise so big they don't want go without it, even if it just remains a hope.

Star Citizen is kind of reminding me of "the curse of oak island".

Is that the big hole in the ground that people think loot is buried in?

My theory is nothing is there and whoever made that is simply trolling. Consider: Wouldn't it be FUNNY AS SHIT to dig a big hole in the ground and act like there's something in it, so long after you're dead and gone, people will still be getting trolled by it and occasionally dying from it, trying to find the big nothingburger you buried in it? Now realize that human nature doesn't change, so somebody back then probably had this same thought.

Jim Jones followers were far less brainwashed.

It's like Nu Male's Sky all over again

No man's sky entire development, release mess and then slow fixing happen while Star Citizen was in development.

NMS was never fixed and neither will this be.

I've heard a lot of it was fixed. Then again I never played it nor plan to so who knows.

NMS is more or less right now how it was promoted back then. It took them ~2 years but in the end what they promoted happened. They will be releasing mega update in few days that adds VR and optimizes game a lot.

It is still mediacore game though as none of its components like space combat, exploration, base building etc is actually fun. Exploration is strongest part but you quicklyrealize that every planet is the same with very slight modifications and flora/fauna that repeats itself once you see mostly everything.

so is this game released yet to overwhelmingly positive reviews?

Any day now. Release is planned for the same day Drumpf is impeached for being a Russian spy.

Even the natives on the official reddit are getting restless.

Still no footage from Squadron 42. Of course there is a new .jpg though, a 700 dollar mine laying ship. In other news, they announced a new, made up project management technique („staggered development“) that will just serve as an excuse for further delays and empty patches.

SC con will be in november which should be when you get to see new stuff from SQ42.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

That's true though, I'm sure they're crunching as hell in order to slap together another completely scripted bullshit demo. I have no doubt the whales will fall for it again.

 

[anvi]

Wow I hate how the shadows on the landscape move with the ship. What a bunch of shit. I mean if the gameplay is going to be great then ok fine, but I suspect this game is all about graphics and not much else so that is ridiculous. It has constant texture pop in too, wtf, all that hype about CryEnginnneee and it looks like a 90s game.
