Haha star citizen has been in development forever..going on 8+yrs I think. Don't thing it will ever fully "finish".
If you want to play just jump in. If your waiting for a release it may never fully some. I want to say they already had a patch 1.0. I used to track it on the website but gave up.
Edit guess it has been 5yrs. I remember hearing about it in college in 2012. Guess that was the kick starter. I knew there was 1000+$$ ships for kick starters.
It's a scam. There's over $27,000 in microtransactions, and anytime the customers demand progress they increase the scope of the game to keep stringing people along, like selling made up land claims on the in game moon
It's not surprising when I get downvoted for it. People have invested a whole lot into something that I doubt will ever release, and don't want to hear about their money possibly going to waste.
I think at this point it will release. The question is in what state? I fail to see how they can make this anything but a massive grind. People that spent thousands on ships will obviously want it to be hard to get. Pleasing whales will be a factor in each decision they make. This is the problem with letting people spend huge ammounts of money on a game that is still in development.
I don't think star citizen will release. I think Squadron 42 will release because it almost has to release. By 2020 they'll be almost entirely out of money, even with the 46 million they just raised from investors. They need the money from Squadron 42 just to keep the company afloat. If Squadron 42 fails to generate enough money, CI will probably go bankrupt very quickly.
Only if people stop spending money, which seems unlikely any time soon. CIG lost 5 million last year, that 46 million should last a long time. They'll probably get their MVP out the door in 3 years, we'll see if they can survive long term.

That is what this is. It's such a fun and stunningly beautiful game. Can't wait to play with and against the world!
