My own judgement for game is only based on fun.
So for SC 6/10. Every other space games are below for me except NMS at 8/10 (but I don't play it anymore).

None of this makes it ok. I don't get why you refuse to see that.
You're a business owner. Do you think your own customers would be ok getting 1% of what they were promised while paying 80x more for it. Do you think they would post messages defending you....
It's as weird as it can get imo.
Dunno people can write off stuff you wouldn't believe.
I knew a guy who bought himself a sports car from one of those small British firms that still make them - it was fast, shiny .... and broke down all the time. I think the worst was when he was over in Europe (Spain?) and the fuel tank just split in half, stranding him. It took days for him to get back, and weeks to get the car back & repaired - but he kept the car and used it. He never had a bad word to say about the maker, seemed to think it was a good source of anecdotes more than anything.
Most people would say that wasn't sensible, but he reckoned he got more enjoyment out of the car than pain.... now I read it back that sounds a lot like SC
Have you enjoyed Squadron 42? I cannot wait for Episode 3 and the epic conclussion to the trilogy.

How much did he pay? Most are reluctant to admit they made a poor purchase decusion.
Conclussion? I bet a bottle falls on his head.
Watching FTR's 2021 recap, and oh my he's just reminded of the "AI, lifecycle and NPC taxi and so on" claims. Not a scam, but handled by compulsively lying crooks

"While CIG slap the word Alpha on every f*-ing surface they can, that word means f* all in the industry today"
Bingo! - also an "alpha phase" with no defined end isn't a phase by definition. So by software lifecyle terms it no longer has any meaning as there is no subsequent beta/release phases to utilise anything learned during the proceeding phases. In this case, it's just a way of up-selling broken software to end users without accountability.

Sounds like a TVR of some sort, if he did buy a TVR he knew exactly what he was purchasing, that's one of the selling points of the vehicle range, hugely fun to drive, liable to suddenly leap off the road and kill you at any moment, and breaks down all the time.....if I had to money I would buy one in a second.
The end of the alpha phase have been defined by CR.
You're right, it's a fairly ridiculous comment for CR to make, but it probably sold a few more ships. Enough to get a yacht and...well, you get it.
Oh really ..you have a date?
I believe the nebulous 4.0 is when the project leaves alpha. There is no date (one need only look at how patches are being enumerated now to see how they are trying to hit the brakes before the finish line). However, one can only hope that 4.0 will not be as barren as 3.0 was compared to the tech CIG was assuring people would be delivered (but wasn't).
It's a new year. Christmas, Orthodox Christmas, and the first day of Carnival Season are over, so I'm back to being my cynical self.

He is continuing, he still won't deliver what he sold. Case in point: Massive space battles with hundreds or thousands of players. That one is now off the table.
It also seems highly probable that the 110 systems backers paid for will never happen, at least, not without some serious compromises in fidelity.
As a business owner and customer anyone should be concerned about being sold one thing and being delivered another.
Pray tell.
For it was written..
We will move into Beta when Chris feels a southerly salty sea breeze on his face and the snow falls on the first waning crescent moon of the month of the twelth year of a Rooster that does not dissapoint or spoil the suprise like what cyberpunk did.
Got the groundwork of the game done, their scaled down server meshing seems to work, CR didn't say this, the Network team did. Star Citizen can be a great game, and in many ways it already is. Star Atlas on the other hand? Well, they have nothing.
I'm sure it's a small team. You have to give them time to build their pipelines.
And the company.
