Over $600 Million Later, Star Citizen Is Now at the Alpha 3.20 Stage::Star Citizen’s long-running development has inched forward yet again, this time to Alpha 3.20 stage.

This is still a glorified tech demo and a walking simulator with ships. Gunplay is pretty sad,pvp is out of the question with that performance, gameplay loops are either bugged to hell or boring as hell.

Instead of adding more ships they should be focusing on polishing and improving what they currently have at least. It’s sad really.

After a couple of free weekends, I was on the verge of buying it but then I saw that they separated squadron 42…

So with some quick math, if everyone that played the game spent the same amount of money each person would have spent $126 on it.

Okay…so…when can we try it out?

You can play it now. They even offer a free weekend every now and then. I tried it a few years back but never got very far into it…

Who knows, the game might release by 2030 at this rate.

You can also pay for it and get a refund, which is what I did. It isn’t anywhere close to being finished.

I’m just super curious at to what $600m would get me. Maybe suckering people into paying for it out of curiousity was their genius business plan along though.

That’s the cost of about three typical AAA games. Genshin Impact’s costs up to around its second year of development is also about that much.

Whenever you want…provided you spent like 50 dollars on a starter ship in 2014

They have sales, I grabbed it a few years ago for like $20. Yeah it’s got bugs but I’ve got a good bit of time playing it. It’s got plenty to do, people in here didn’t really play it and are on the hate train. Don’t be a whale and you’ll get your money out of it.
