It would be a net win for sure. I mean, why hold the success of Star Citizen back like that?

After The Day Before its even less likely for Star Citizen to be on steam because Steam. Steam gave a blanket refund regardless of tiem played because it was an obvious scam. Then again if you look at Grey Zone Warfare, they had additional addons that were even more expensive tha the base game adn those can't be refunded. If CIG really wants to do it I guess they could sell the base Star Citizen for $45 and then each ship for $$$$ as addons that can't be refunded. The catch is they have to release those ships because people who bought $$$$ of ships but never had access to them can still get their refunds.

In short, it's probably because CIG don't control the platform, the discussion forum or review system. It's a big risk for their continued operation.

I don't want them on Steam either. Having their own platform and not playing along with everyone else makes their arrogance more obvious.

CIG will build their own ne'er done before game hosting platform to run their opus. This will make more money to "finish" SC and will be a great investment because MS, Apple, nVidia will all be falling over themselves to get in. But of course, they will need to build this first so please wait another 10 years for progress. Pledge more in the meantime.

As I understand, when Steam makes a sale, they don't release 100% of the income to due to the seller immediately either. Probably to cover themselves in need of refunds or other issues. This would be bad for CIG's business model.

If they put SC on Steam it'll get review bombed.

I wouldn’t put it past CIG to use that hard earned jpeg money into review bots or 3rd party “review support” services to pump steam reviews. Strongly suspect they use it already for bots in twitch and have a likely history of artificially inflating content creation views (Rexzilla etc), so botting Steam wouldn’t be very surprising.

You don't want to see that arrogance hit the wall of reality that is Steam Reviews? Even for a couple of months before it gets pulled?

At one time I wanted that, but now considering there are still people who are still rabid about defending the scam, I want it as far away from the general gaming industry as possible.

I forgot the biggest reason CIG will never put Star Citizens on Steam. Steam has at least two sites tracking stats including player count. It'll break their narrative so fast about how popular their game supposedly is.

I know it happens the world over, but I still find it incredibly sad and inexplicable...especially when it happens a mile or so from your house. 77 pilot whales died a few days ago on the island after the largest mass beaching in over 100 years :(

How to solve a mass stranding: what caused 77 healthy whales to die on a Scottish beach?

A team of scientists are trying to find the cause of what is becoming an increasingly common event – and the answer may be hidden deep in the whales’ skulls

You’ve a good soul Mole, hope it’s not too distressing

Maybe Steam doesn't even want it on their platform. You can't really force a shop to sell your - whatever SC is. I think there is a market for garbage but even that market has quality standards SC would fail.

Wasn't there this survival thing hype last year and then it leaked that it was pretty much just hot air and influencers and media had been drumming it up for clicks as usual. Was another overpromised (aka "ambitious") game with understaffed crew and little experience.
When it leaked it was quite quickly removed from store page where it was for wishlisting previously.

Edit: Yeah it was the Day Before, the game Ed(numbers) mentioned up a couple posts.Also corrected the pre-order to wishlisted. It was most wishlisted game on Steam for a time.

More strange noises coming from evo...

Personal & Instanced Hangars
  • Sound is loud and distorted (NB).
  • A waiting queue of 10 minutes before I can leave my hangar is not acceptable (NB).
  • I was unable to return to the lobby as the elevator panel broke (NB).
  • The panels at some of the elevators were broken (NB) or there was no elevator at all (EH)
  • A C1 was spawned inside my hangar merging with my Retaliator (EH).

[HANGARS]​


❌ [TAKEOFF] - [Medium Hangar / Orison] - Sometimes when taking off from the hangar, the doors look open, but when going thru the empty space, the ship will explode and you're kicked to infirmary.
❌ [DEPARTURE] - [Medium Hangar] - Sometimes after taking off from hangar(~2mins), your ship will despawn and leave you in open space, or kick you back to the planets spaceport ASOPS.
❌ [ELEVATOR] - [Medium Hangar] - Sometimes when you press your medium hangar on the elevator pad, it will take you to a Docking Hangar first. Sometimes from there you can get to your medium hangar, sometimes not.
❌ [ELEVATOR] - [Rendering] - Sometimes still the inside of the elevator doesn't render and you can't see anything inside the elevator.
❌ [IMPOUNDING] - [Ground Vehicles] - Sometimes when driving a ground vehicle into your ship and bumping in to something, you'll get a wreckless driving message and vehicle will get impounded message.
Why do we have to deal with this type of thing inside our own hangar with our own ships?
❌ [SHIP SPAWN FAILURE] - Sometimes when trying to retrieve your ship in the hangar, nothing happens.

  • The external elevator buttons of the cargo modules are no longer there.
  • The internal elevator buttons of the cargo modules are no longer functional.
