Star Citizen is the Future of PC Gaming, and it [was] Free to Play this week (Edit: No Longer Free)

Downloading the game got a tech author temporarily blacklisted from his office internet:

Crytek wants its lawsuit against CIG dismissed without prejudice until later in the year, since their lawsuit revolves around a game actually being released.

CIG’s financials are not in great shape. Despite bringing in record income of $49 million for 2018, the company still generated a $7 million loss. A staggering $9 million alone was spent on marketing…

Remember, according to the current TOS, they don’t have to tell anyone what they’re doing with all that money.

Per the financial report released a couple of weeks ago, CIG hasn’t turned a profit since 2014.

Beautiful. As long as they never release a game they’re safe. CIG will be fine forever.

I bet Chris Roberts’s paychecks are being cashed though.

Who invested $46 million in the company in 2018?

These guys, in exchange for 10% of CIG.

Humble has some game called Headsnatchers for free. Local/Online party game where you, uh, snatch the other people’s heads?

Is that what CIG releases instead of Star Citizen?

LOL, that was supposed to go into the free games thread. I was in a hurry and did a word search for “Free” and posted without checking. Oh well, something to play when you’ve spent all your money on vaporware space freighters :smiley:

They still haven’t decided to help players who find themselves trapped in the environment!

Here’s an attempt to translate your link to English.

Sorry, I’m on Chrome and it translates automatically.

CIG wants a $500K security bond released as part of the proposed dismissal. I wonder how long that would last 'em.

Oh, look: they announced another game mode a few days ago, also with no scheduled release date.

I suggested to some probable donors that Elite had done all that years ago and they weren’t happy.

Crytek and CIG have settled their lawsuit.

Star Citizen: now more like Second Life in space rather than EVE Online.

These guys just bought another 17 million dollars worth of shares. The game has raised 550 million altogether.

I wonder if they’ll hit a billion dollars before it’s all said and done.

One month after PC Gamer reports on disgruntled players, Roberts announces yet another round of free play. Is somebody getting desperate for fresh meat?
