To have spent that much money and yet not have anything really resembling a game, just a glorified tech demo, is pretty sad.
I have a friend who just got into Star citizen and I just don't understand why. There are actual games to play.
I know what you mean, but even the idea of "getting into Star Citizen" doesn't make sense to me because, well...what in the world is there really to get into beyond the few demos they released?
In fairness, the "Persistent Universe" stuff they have going right now can be pretty fun with friends, and the jank is kind of novel for a while. I tried to deliver a box and got a concussion trying to figure out how to get a drink on my journey.
Without friends or a tolerance for jankiness though, it's pretty hard to get into. You really get the sense the devs have been figuring out what a wheel looks like the hard way, yet still insisting on their own uniquely terrible spin on things.
The thing is, there is no "actual game to play" that fulfills the dream that star citizen promises.
Well, at least maybe until starfield comes out.
What do you mean, just a glorified tech demo? I thought it's almost done??
I think you're thinking of Starfield, because Star Citizen is nowhere near done. They only have one solar system, with only a few people per instance, terrible optimization, only a fraction of the planned features, etcetera. It's very immersive (aside from all the glitches and low FPS) but there's not much actual content.

Don't forget all those jpgs they have too!
