Aged like fine milk
Nah. Most games have a huge peak viewership at release and then wind down. SC peak when it released in early access back in 2016 was probably not more than a couple thousands I suspect, compared to hundred thousands for SF when it released in early access early September. I d say that one order of magnitude more than SC is a still a huge difference.
Either way the comment ridiculing CIG´s PR is still very much accurate and is aging as a great wine:
Star Citizen is far from being the Star Field peer CIG wants it to be, not only because of an order of magnitude higher Twitch views but also simply because of:
a) Unit sales
- Star Field has 6 million units sold in less than a week.
- Star Citizen barely had around 1.8 backer (paying) accounts at the end of 2022, 10 years after Kickstarter and 6 years after release in early access.
b) Reviews
Star Field:
Starfield Reviews
Starfield is an expansive sci-fi RPG from Bethesda Game Studios that offers a vast open world to explore. The game emphasizes freedom, allowing players to pursue side quests and space exploration...

Hopefully that helps put things in perspective?

Same reasons than before, one is released, the other not.
A not released game with 10% viewers of a big AAA released game after only 12 days is a really good news for SC. Players are coming back to SC after having tested the last SC killer
It is even better, these hundreds of thousands, if not millions, will be able to stay in a single room and interact, thanks to dynamic server smashing.So much lol in the Post-Mortem already, but think you'll get a kick out of this V

SC is already released though. And it does not have much to do with how you feel about it, it is CIG who stated SC is already released. Suggest you talk to them in case you have any doubts?
If you think so, it must be true ! Why there is no thousands of reviews by players on Metacritic ? And no matter how many times I click on refresh, there's still no review from the press
You should say it to metacritic, they seem to not understand it...
Have you see the amount of Starfield content Youtube? I don't think Star Citizen managed in 11 years what Starfield produced in 11 days.I think you already posted this.

Now imagine what will happen when the modding kit is finally released. No, not the SC modding kit, that thing is not coming ever. Buy the handbook.
Just to understand your reasoning, when do you think Baldurs gate 3 was released?
The last thing CIG want is reviews. The day SC gets reviewed the money stops.

As sourced and linked above, it is not me but CIG who says SC is released
It´s quite simple really.As for reviews, some games have more than others. In the case of SC, there are several reasons why reviews are limited: CIG has been, and still is, bamboozling the market with vague terms such as "alpha" and crowdfund whereas Star Citizen has ceased to be a fully crowdfunded project long time ago when it was released (in early access) around 2016 as per CIG own statements. Also, SC after that release still happens to be so buggy, incomplete and crappy that I suspect it does not even deserve the attention of many score reviewers. This is as best as SC can get these days:
Can't blame Metacritic far being confused about SC's state. SC certainly is...
Doesn't really change the views shared there over recent months though

"...but it comes down to us truly committing to preserving the experience for the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, who now play Star Citizen as a live service game, albeit an alpha still in development."
Heh, well, at December 2022, according to Chris himself it was actually "over 1 million unique players" who logged during 2022. So even if it was 1.000001 millions over the whole year, assuming you believe Chris, that statement is technically correct (and that is being generous as many players have multiple paying accounts).
As for the "live service game still in development", well indeed, much like many games out there that are a live service and are still being developed in many ways. In fact many games that are considered as "games as a service" are constantly being developed. It´s part of the service. SC is one more released game, and being developed, among many. SC just happens to be much crappier than most.

Ok some other fave PES quotes from the latest absolvement text...
So, is there a top hat universe?
Chrissy's cloud dreams are coming true. And simulated clients eh? Well it worked well for Dual Universe...
These quotes absolutely won't come back to bite them

Plus loads of other stuff and guff. The Replication Layer only just being split off from single servers now. Rivers actually needing to be 'meticulously placed' after all. Raster breaking performance and the shops at Jump Town. Salvage missions scuppered by the lack of 'gold standard' ships that had all the features working. The Fury MX needing bespoke missile racks so it wouldn't blow its own wings off. All that good stuff

Well no worries it's not a conspiracy and yes sometimes actually does not work properlly it's probably because a lot of people trying to give it their review of the game but if you are persistent you could see it .....If you think so, it must be true !

And yeah score it's not that great and I could probably agree with this...'tho even this score is more than 2x better then SC.....
Ahhh but you are forgetting that every review percentage in Star Citizen is worth four or five times that of any other production, so obviously Star Citizen is 2345% positive.
The screenshot is about SC that don't have scores values because Metacritic don't allow scores on games not released yet.
Ohh Ok there is not press metascore for SC and should not be neither user metascore but how come those 129 people managed to give their score and review?
