You can play an alpha build of an unfinished game.

Pre-alpha build. After more than a decade.

If Star Citizen is a person it would be starting junior high/middle school now.

The state of Star Citizen is right now is on par with a lot of games on "release." This is as much an insult to the gaming industry in general as it is a compliment to Star Citizen.

it's just a straight-up fact that games ARE more complex now than they used to be, you can recreate og DOOM in just a few weeks, but RDR2, a game that had a ready engine, and a lot of assets was already in development while the first RDR wasn't out yet, that's 8 years of straight up development
