Star Citizen is in early-alpha development, in early access, "playable now", with Pay2Win macro-transactions.
Question: Have you ever played SC? Can you therefore judge on the playability of it?
I can press that big "launch" button in the launcher, and play the game. That is the definition, the definition is correct.
Correct
Yes, you have an early access to the game.
Yes
Better way to fund it?
*For certain loose definitions of playable:

it depends… how much money do you think they still need to complete it?
Nah, I don't block anyone in forums. I save that for in-game
I've just given up with it. Their arguments just become more and more disingenuous. Go back a few years and I think we had a better class of faithful around here, at least they tried to put up some valid arguments.
I wonder if this is a symptom of something. As time has gone on the faithful remaining are those who are just so far out of touch with reality are the only ones left trying to spread the faith. Everyone else is just bunkering down and hoping for the best.
Continued funding can still be explained by CIG's marketing still roping new players in, getting them to spend and run out of refund time before they see it for what it really is. Kermaz has noted an uptick in people trying to sell their ships looking to either completely get out or reduce their "investment".
New version of goat simulator looking good!
By that logic, no game with any bugs in it is playable.
Oh no, did CIG trip over and sell things it can't make for up to $3,000 a pop?
That's a shame.
As is you defending their utterly absurd practices. But there we go.
Well, I am not Nostradamus, but i'd say atleast $300 million more for a 1.0 version.
I asked for a better way to fund it, please, provide an actual answer.
Yes.
Better get buying Idrises then sunshine.
Are bugs like that the exception or normal in SC.
Nobody should fund endemic scope creep.
PS your gish gallop no longer merits serious answers
Although that is a serious answer.
So you cannot provide an actual answer? ThanksNobody should fund endemic scope creep.
PS your gish gallop no longer merits serious answers
Although that is a serious answer.
Like others do, either from their own pockets, from investors pockets, or from publishers pockets.
Though in reality of course SC style "development" would either crash and burn, or scope would have been severely restricted and game had been released ages ago.
Normal, but the amount of games with physics bugs like this, BF4, GTA 5, just to mention a few. And they're not very rare either.
Serious answers require serious questions. Your question cannot be taken seriously on several levels, starting from the underlying assumptions and ending with the lack of the very definition of "better". In fact, "cucumber", "absolutely" and "John Wick" are perfectly fine answers given the quality of the question.
