    Never play Star Citizen, even if it somehow becomes playable. Got it.

        Apparently it costs up to 48k to get certain ships, so that means absolutely fucking nothing.

          It costs 48k for every ship in the game. The most expensive single ship that I’ve seen was about 1.2k.

            1.2k … for some bits and bytes.

            I know professional software licenses that are cheaper.

        That’s a incorrect comparison. You’re treating WoW and Star Citizen to be similar games. When WoW for more than a decade has been in its own premium bucket.

        The average MMO today is free. Then the small percentages of MMOs that require the core game purchased.

        I don’t like WoW, but that’s at least an actual game. SC is still nothing but a glorified tech demo. And I say that as one of the earliest backers.

          Yes, it is nothing but a glorified tech demo right now. You’re absolutely correct.

          That $45 price (or whatever you choose to spend on the game) is a pre-order.

          If you don’t like owning incomplete products, don’t buy incomplete products. This seems pretty simple.
