    Oh boy. Time for an 800 comment long flamewar about Star Citizen. I’m ready.

      I’m proud to be the one to start the fire this time. To be clear I do really want a good game out of all this.

        Personally, I think Star Citizen is shallow and pedantic.

          It is, it’s also in alpha still. If they were claiming beta in this state I’d be more worried rather than just mad they keep adding stupid shit instead of going full optimization. They have a game, they just need to get it out the door and worry about content in future releases. It’s like the painter who can’t call a painting finished.

            They can claim whatever they want. But if it’s publicly available then it’s a beta regardless of what arbitrary name they give it.

            If it was alpha it should be free.

            After what feels like 20 years, it still being in alpha should worry you more than if this current state was called a beta.
