  I wouldn't call it playable. It can be played, but the experience is very unstable with game breaking bugs everywhere. The joke among my friends is never put on a suit you like, because the game is going to crash and you'll lose it. And 400+ Millon to get to where we are? I think it's disengenuous to ignore the chronic, glaring deficiencies in planning and execution while pointing to a streaming pile of shit and saying "look, it works".

    I backed the original Kickstarter. I have the game. I can start it. I can walk around a space station in terrible framerate and enter my ship. Or, I can launch into what appears to be a PvP game with terrible flight mechanics (compares to Elite Dangerous). If there is more game in there, they sure did a great job at hiding it.

  The biggest point of comparison that I'm making isn't the blank canvas per se, and I'm not calling the project a scam. I'm calling it modern art. I'm saying both types of artists share the constant boundary pushing: how much can we taunt our patrons before they'll give up and leave? I don't believe that anyone at Cloud Imperium actually cares about bedheets. They simply recognize that Star Citizen is now a work of performance art, and this is the next stage of the performance.
