Chris Roberts considers Star Citizen 'released', he's said multiple times "this is the game" and he thinks they'll just keep adding content, like WoW or something.

Sorry, I'm going to blame tuo for this, scary how applicable it can be:

A man walks into an office.

Man: Ah. I'd like to have a space game, please.

Receptionist: Certainly sir. Have you been here before?

Man: No, this is my first time.

Receptionist: I see. Well, do you want to have the full experience, or were you thinking of buying a ship package?

Man: Well, what would be the cost?

Receptionist: Well, it can be $60 for the base package, but you could spend years buying all the ships.

Man: Well, I think it's probably best if I start with the one and then see how it goes from there, okay?

Receptionist: Fine. I'll see who's free at the moment.

(Pause)

Receptionist: Mr. Ortwin is free, but he's a little bit lawyery. Ahh yes, Try Mr. MOMA; room 12.

Man: Thank you. (Walks down the hall. Opens door.)

Angry man: WHADDAYOU WANT?

Man: Well, Well, I was told outside that...

Angry man: DON'T GIVE ME THAT, YOU EVIL GOON!

Man: What?

A: SHUT YOUR DEREK SMART-LOVING FACE YOU HATER! YOU TROLLS MAKE ME PUKE! YOU STALKING LYING BRIGADING PERVERT!!!

M: Yes, but I came here for a space game!!

A: OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is reddit!

M: Oh! Oh I see!

A: Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door.

M: Oh...Sorry...

A: Not at all!

A: (under his breath) loving haters.

(The man goes into room 12A. Another man is sitting behind a desk.)

Man: Is this the right room for a space game?

Other Man: I've released it once.

Man: No you haven't!

Other Man: Yes I have.

M: When?

O: Just now.

M: No you didn't!

O: Yes I did!

M: You didn't!

O: I did!

M: You didn't!

O: I'm telling you, I did!

M: You did not!

O: Oh I'm sorry, is this a base package, or the full PTU experience?

M: Ah! (taking out his wallet and pledging) Just the base package.

O: Just the base package then. Thank you.

O: Anyway, I did release it.

M: You most certainly did not!

O: Now let's get one thing quite clear: I most definitely released it!

M: Oh no you didn't!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh no you didn't!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh no you didn't!

M: No you DIDN'T!

M: No you DIDN'T!

O: Oh yes I did!

M: Oh look, this isn't a space game!

(pause)

O: Yes it is!

M: No it isn't!

(pause)

M: It's just a broken tech demo!

O: No it isn't!

M: It IS!

O: It is NOT!

M: You just contradicted yourself!

O: No I didn't!

M: You DID!

O: No no no!

M: You did just then!

O: Nonsense!

M: (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!!

(pause)

O: No it isn't!

M: Yes it is!

(pause)

M: I came here for a good space game!

O: AH, no you didn't, you came here for minimum viable space game!

M: A space game isn't just walking around!

O: Well! it CAN be!

M: No it can't!

M: A space game is a connected series of gameplay components intended to represent actual space and gameplay!

O: No it isn't!

M: Yes it is! "isn't" is just avoiding the problem!

O: Look, if I release a space game to you, it must be a space game!

M: Yes but it isn't just saying "this is a space game".

O: Yes it is!

M: No it isn't!

O: Yes it is!

M: No it isn't!

O: Yes it is!

M: No it ISN'T! Space games are actually games set in space. Saying "this is a space game" is a total misrepresentation of space games.

O: It is NOT!

M: It is!

O: Not at all!

M: It is!

(The Arguer hits a bell on his desk and stops.)

O: Thank you, game has shipped.

M: (stunned) What?

O: That's it. You got your MVP.

M: But I was just getting interested!

O: I'm sorry, the five minutes is up.

M: That was never five minutes just now!!

O: I'm afraid it was.

M: (leading on) No it wasn't.....

O: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to pretend it's a space game any more.

M: WHAT??

O: If you want me to keep pretending it's a space game, you'll have to pledge for another five minutes.

M: But that was never five minutes just now!
Oh Come on!
Oh this is...
This is ridiculous!

O: I told you... I told you, I'm not allowed to pretend it's a space game unless you pledge!

M: Oh all right. (takes out his wallet and pledges again.) There you are.

O: Thank you.

M: (clears throat) Well...

O: Well WHAT?

M: That was never five minutes just now.

O: I told you, I'm not allowed to pretend it's a space game unless you've pledged!

M: Well I just pledged!

O: No you didn't!

M: I DID!!!

O: YOU didn't!

M: I DID!!!

O: YOU didn't!

M: I DID!!!

O: YOU didn't!

M: I DID!!!

O: YOU didn't!

M: I don't want to play any more!

O: Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pledge!

M: Ah hah! Well if I didn't pledge, why are you pretending it's a space game??? Ah HAAAAAAHHH! Gotcha!

O: No you haven't!

M: Yes I have! If you're pretending it's a space game, I must have pledged.

O: Not necessarily. I could be pretending it's a space game in my spare time.

M: I've had enough of this!

O: No you haven't.

M: Oh shut up!

(Man leaves the office and enters the next office)

Man: I want to complain.

Complainer: You want to complain! Look at this reddit. I've only had it three weeks and the drat thing keeps screaming BRIGADING

Man: No, I want to complain about...

Complainer: If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother.

Man: Oh!

Complainer: There's no fidelity, it's not immersive and I'm sick and tired of the excuses.

(Slams door. walks down corridor, opens next door. Gets hit on the head as he steps through.)

Man: Hello, I want to... ouch!

Spreaders: No, no, no. Hold your head like this, then go DREAMS. Try it again. (hits him on the head again)

Man: owwww!

Spreaders: Better, Better, but DREAMS, DREAMS! Hold your wallet out.

Man: No.

Spreaders: Now..

Man: DREAMS!!!!

Spreaders: Good, Good! That's it.

Man: Stop hitting me!!

Spreaders: What?

Man: Stop hitting me!!

Spreaders: Stop hitting you?

Man: Yes!

Spreaders: What did you come in here for?

Man: I came here to complain.

Spreaders: Oh no, that's next door. It's being-taken-for-all-your-money-mugging lessons in here.

I'm pretty sure that the actual mechanics reason for this change was that they can't fix the bug where you can travel an infinite distance as long as you do it in one jump. See the QT fuel doesn't get drained mid-jump, only at the end. And for some reason their code is so poo poo that they can't run a simple check "Is this jump far enough that I shouldn't be able to do it?" Instead they deduct your QT fuel at the end of your jump. So you can have 5k fuel, make a 10k jump, and you'll still get there- albeit with 0 fuel and be unable to make another jump.

Rather than fix their code, they just made the jumps real short. Now you'll be dropping out of warp all the time so you'll constantly recalculate your QT fuel remaining. I'd bet anything the "Can jump farther than your QT fuel allows" bug is still there, but now it'll be hard to trigger because the jump will have to be shorter than 20 seconds or whatever.

This reeks of a first year developer decision.

if this is true, holey moley

To pick up on the industry talk, I think it's pretty much a given that games have to get smaller. Forget PS3, I'd be thrilled with a PS2-quality game done right. Or a pixel art DIY project that was small and cost a few dollars, as long as it gave me a bit of solid gameplay. I like to dabble, a lot.

Music in the 19th century was a mix of elitist orchestral and at-home hobbyist. Pop music emerged to fill in the gap..smaller songs, simpler and more modest, but somehow more fun in their own way. And the genres were/are accessible with practice and a creative mind. The same thing has to happen with gaming.

I mean, I think we sort of had it in the 80s and part of the 90s, at least in the PC market. But development then was still something of an alchemic art. With modern tools things are much simpler -- again, practice and effort is needed to make something good, but the payoff ceiling is much, much lower.

I think it will happen. The gaming public has to mature a bit -- people have to want to contribute and make their own stuff. Like with pop music, a whole ecosystem of home strummers, garage bands, local talents, touring groups, and superstars has to emerge. But I'm optimistic we'll get there.

Ugh, gaming has never been better or more diverse than right now. When's the last time you actually played a pc game?

I think I've found the perfect game that citizens can actually play and get what they want. I just saw the latest Robbaz video of him buying a PC and playing a game inside another game (and plenty of other madness) in 'my summer car' which he calls a Finland simulator.

Here's the whole playlist, which is pure gold, but watch the latest video to see what I mean.
