I made up a class name and assigned it to an expensive-sounding ship because I've never played Star Citizen and have never even been on the website; in trying to make up some dumb bullshit, I accidentally came up with something that approximates the Anvil Liberator.
And, you know, gestures wildly at the $48,000 ship pack; the fact this in-game asset I basically just made up by accident is real and sold officially for $575; the lack of any release timeline and the way it's been in early access for over a decade despite raising over $1 billion, amounting to a never-ending whalefishing expedition...
Yeah when you look from the outside without actually following the development, it sure looks like a whale fishing expedition. But I can assure you that it's not.
Can you actually give evidence? Or even a semi-convincing argument to back that up? Because from everything I've seen it's a whale fishing company with bros playing around with random disjointed tech demos. The closest I've seen them do to interesting is their distributed server model for cells in a single environment, but even that isn't worth a billion dollars in funding.
Otherwise I've got a bridge to sell you.
What exists right now is full of jank, but if you played it or even followed the patch to patch development you could see they're consistently building foundations for a game that is simultaneously:
Considering how no game like what SC is supposed to be has come out in the time SC has been in development, it must not be that easy of a game to make.
I got into SC in December of last year and have seen their progress and have been to play and participate in all of it while only spending 45 USD on the base package. Nothing else is needed to join since all ships eventually come out in game as buyable for in game money and I bought nearly every ship like that.
CIG certainly sells ships to whales, but to them it's necessary for their commitment to no publishers or large investors.
