HN comment orderI think my biggest beef with the game is how unstable it is. The game design is a bit grindy, whatever, lets grind away then, however any time I start to make any progress the game crashes. After two or three of these I loose interest. Only to try again in 6 months to much the same results. They appear to be following a long term slow burn development plan, nothing wrong with this many of my favorite games follow…
Who is still giving money to this project? I don't have a dog in this fight, I just don't understand what one is paying for at this point.
Slow and steady wins the metaverse race? Kidding, of course. I'm willing to bet everything that Star Citizen will never be completed within my lifetime, and if I'm wrong then I'm willing to take the necessary steps to rectify it.
One day the game will be done. Just like Tarkov.
