A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

How long have you waited to get it? Was it worth it?

I turned 40 this year. I pledged for Star Citizen when I was 20-something 🙃

It's still my dream-game, so I'm still patiently waiting.

I want to love this game but every time I try to play it I run into a plethora of game-breaking bugs within an hour. Maybe my grandkids will enjoy it.

It sure hates to be played

I gave up, I used to follow the subr*ddit to get news and all that was coming were sales of non-existent ships

I remember the original announcement and worried it was a ponzie scheme. 20 years later and here we are.

Alternatively, a friend of mine has sunk 10k into it.

10k? I hope it's hours and not money. Even though 10k is some insane amount of hours too.

[–] NerfHerder@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Definitely 10k in currency.

I paid € 35 for it back in 2013
