I funded this back on kickstarter when I was still in high school. I remember the excitement that came with every $1mil milestone, it really felt like an incredible movement that was going to produce something really special. I haven't been able to follow progress closely over the past decade, but the gameplay demos have been fun and there always seems to be a decent amount of progress so at this point I think I'm content waiting.
- zamadatix 2y agoOut of curiosity, do you find the development story itself the worthwhile investment or are you holding out on the bet if you'll wait ${years} more then something like the promised feature set will eventually be delivered as the polished, complete, and functional package you've been looking forward to?
- MisterBiggs 2y agoThere is a lot of value in the development story for me. Over time they've almost entirely stopped talking about progress outside of major milestones which is disappointing but theres only so many years in a row you can say server meshing will be finished in 6 months before people get tired of hearing about it. The team seems genuine, and donations aren't slowing down, so it seems likely that the game will materialize in some complete form eventually
- wlesieutre 2y agoI wonder if the $14m “Professional-quality feature-length ‘Behind the Scenes of Star Citizen’ documentary film” stretch goal is still on
- MrMember 2y agoI contributed $35 in the original Kickstarter because I love space sims and the genre was completely dead at that time. I doubt the game will ever come out at this point but I'm not going to sweat wasting $35 more than ten years ago.
- HaZeust 2y agoThere was this space sim game a while back that was called HELLION, it had so much potential it was unreal. Sadly, some internal affairs and change in priority left it abandoned. You hate to see it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/588210/HELLION/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/588210/HELLION/
- mjx0 2y agoI played several dozen hours of HELLION with a friend. I wish that game had made it to completion.
- jdougan 2y agoI gave them USD 50 for pretty similar reasons plus the additional reason of thanking Roberts for the entertainment I had from his earlier games. Since, I have easily gotten that much entertainment value watching the development, so for me it was a great purchase. ANd they tell me there will be a full game someday, for icing on the cake.
- jagermo 2y agoSame. It would be nice to have a game at one point, but No Mans Sky and Elite:Dangerous kind of filled that niche for me.
- speckx 2y agoI also enjoyed endless space in addition to the two you mentioned.

- Ylpertnodi 2y ago>so at this point I think I'm content waiting. 'Content' meaning 'stuff', or 'content' meaning 'happy? Or both?
- Hikikomori 2y agoDon't think he can be stuff.
- Olphs 2y agoWhat would "I'm stuff waiting" even mean?
- batch12 2y agoMaybe they thought it meant something like "waiting on content"
