Paying huge sums of money on a promise does kinda encapsulate the
Star Citizen story up to this point, and is a large part of why the game
has repeatedly been accused of being a scam. But while it's taken a
long time and used some interesting funding practices to get there, Star
Citizen is very much playable these days and has been for years,
The big question, of course, is 'when will Star Citizen be finished'? Its single-player component, Squadron 42, is theoretically due to launch in 2026, though Cloud Imperium Games cast doubt
on this release window late last year. Star Citizen itself has a
vaguely suggested endpoint of 2028. But there's no real reason for Cloud
Imperium to put a finish date on it so long as players keep throwing
money at it, and even if they do settle on a 1.0 date, I expect it will
become one of those forever games that just keeps getting added to.
oh well that's nice, as long as people or maybe even our eventual successors super ai might continue too 'fund' it until the end of days....
