The discourse here is disappointing considering this isn't reddit and you expect people to be smarter. Go download and play it right now if you need to form an opinion, because the language you're all using clearly indicates you haven't.

Play it so you can give it its valid criticism instead of parroting an internet lynch mob from 10 years ago.

However, there is still no release date or even release window for Star Citizen 1.0. CIG will share the roadmap later this year.

12 years in and the update is that a later update will announce when they may, or may not, release the game.

This is, and always has been, the issue regarding this game. Even putting aside the budget they've burned through to date (which is impressively massive), the fact that they are still unsure of when they think the game is done is mind-boggling.

Years ago, I thought I was being relatively pessimistic that the game may take until 2023-2024 to release. And here we are in 2024 with the "release date will be announced later" updates still coming.

I mean, it was no secret that the game is an ongoing project with 'it's ready when it's ready' as the goal. Like literally every other public alpha. So I guess people like me will continue enjoying games like SC, DayZ, Arma, Valheim, Zomboid, 7dtd, and countless others just like it while people like you can keep getting mad on the internet. For this game in particular I got far more enjoyment than I deserved for spending $50 I don't know how people can justify being so lame and self-righteous.
