True but I think he's trying to say that Citizers aren't mad because the game isn't technically "out" and is therefor immune to criticism

Even though there's a playable game that's been there for years, and they aren't really making much progress year over year, and you can pay money for items in it right now and the head of the company came out on stage and said it's basically out

No it's fine I'm sure all of the commandos who stomp a new mudhole into anyone who so much as looks at the game funny will turn right around and nod solemnly at the loving firestorm of criticism that it generates the day CIG drops it and shuffles off like a drunk leaving a back alley pants-turd.

Everything they've shown is objectively hot poo poo and, unlike Rorschach tests, your intellect can pretty much be determined outright by whether or not you think Star Citizen, as it stands in 2018, is good. Or if you think Chris Roberts, in 2018, is talented. This was forgivable a few years back - now, not so much. You're talking about a man who thinks he's in an "org."

If they don't recognize the picture they're normal. If they laugh hysterically they're normal and given a gift certificate to the retail outlet of their choice.

Crusader was released in 2015. It has been 3 years. In that time they have added:

* Moons
* A whole lot of ships where only the pilot's station is fully implemented and nothing else is remotely done
* A couple of quest givers that don't work 80% of the time
* In-game trading consoles that do not work 70% of the time and an economy that is completely broken
* 7-8 FPS enemies that don't work 50% of the time
* Pirates you can fight except hey guess what they don't work a lot of the time
* Random interception by NPC's, then they took it out again because it broke everything
* Mining but only if you buy this one ship over here
* A new gas station
* New pipelines, so many new pipelines

---

I would not call this substantial development of DLC in a released game, much less a game in full-time development with hundreds of devs working round-the-clock to pump it out, making it immune from all criticism.

Once there was this girl who
Was married to the boy except they hid the fact from people
But when the people found out
She said that it was never a secret
And then she got up on stage
And sung a Nazi anthem

But both the girl and boy were glad
'Cause one boy had it worse than that

'Cause then there was this boy who
Ate so much and got so fat that he could hardly move
And when he tried to diet
The girl gave him 5 boxes of donuts
And then he promptly ate them
And then he went septic

It's...weird.

If the single-player games are a sandbox, this is more a themepark. All interaction with story is through terminals and tapes; there are _events_ within the world that you appear to get poo poo from even if you're only in the area. Eating and drinking is required.

I don't know much about the CAMP, I left mine on a cliffside somewhere after finding that you can only move it.

Griefing is endemic already; looting boxes can flag you for PvP, and there's been some light hacking - today's BETA is going to be interesting simply because the news broke overnight, and there are already extant mods for it.

The world appears to be instanced, too, but I don't know much about it. I've been loving around walking, crafting and otherwise shooting at poo poo.

I'm entirely on the fence about refunding at the moment, because I'm still looking for some hook other than joining up with a zerg. There's a lot of hidden bits and pieces, and rushing around murdering mobs is more FPS than the source material requires, IMO.

Count on Bethesda to make wonky stuff. I'm pretty sure that they mostly just shoved in basic network functionality into the Fallout 4 engine, as it still has the old issue with things like the chameleon leather armor pieces giving you cloaking that makes your Pip-boy almost unreadable.
