    www.squarespace.com/whitelight with code "whitelight" for 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain. Full credits list for footage used is in the description. So this was my first full scale docu/state of the game/pre-release thing on YouTube. I learned a lot from the process, and I very much hope you got something out of it. The Far Cry 4 video is sill progressing nicely in the meantime.
  • @MRwho35
    At this rate they'll have to make a memorial hall for all the backers who will never see SC getting done because they've died of old age.
  • When this game started it was Sci-Fi, when it launches it will be historical fiction.
  • @rpcheesman
    "The only way to see a planet in Cyberpunk was to glitch through the map. In Star Citizen that's just one of the ways." Delivered so dry, so perfectly it made me spit my drink.
  • Ah, yes, the space game that's not finished, despite costing almost as much as an actual, successful space program.
  • You either die a hero or you live long enough to see Star Citizen released in full.
  • @stevedasbru
    A good game is temporary; Star Citizen development is eternal.

  • @HarmonicGray
    I always see people treat the [ALPHA] tag on many early access games as armor against any criticism, but imo the moment you start selling microtransactions in your (unreleased) game, people have the right to criticize the game as if it were released. Brand loyalty and consumer identity have people literally defending the companies that are fleecing them and they will vehemently defend them against any criticism.
  • @sie11pervan
    I'm extremely happy for all the programmers that have had 10 years of solid employment with a decent salary thanks to the never-ending development of Star Citizen.
  • @Thanatos2k
    Ah the immersion of having to wait on the train while slowly taking a long and arduous trip to the airport, forced to wait in customs, finally being granted access to your own ship, and promptly accelerating into the ceiling of the hanger and dying in a fiery explosion.
  • @Scroolewse
    I love Star Citizen because I've paid exactly zero dollars and I get to watch it develop same as everyone else. Thank you, rich schmucks, for funding this highly interesting project.
  • @scav3167
    I love how you're talking about how immersive and realistic everything is with having you do everything manually and then your ship vanishes out of thin air because it was impounded like any other game.
  • @Dervraka
    Funny thing was when I bought into the Star Citizen crowd funding in 2012, I said, with everything Chris Roberts was promising, I was buying something to play in retirement (I was only 39 at the time). Now I'm nearly 50 and eligible for retirement in less than five years. Which appears to be about the time Star Citizen....might....be ready.
  • With infinite time, and infinite resources, you could make the greatest game never made... or the world's most expensive tech demo.
  • @GreedC
    My uncle passed away recently, sadly he backed this game back in 2012 and never got to play it when he was alive and healthy but he told me he gave up on this game anyway, it still sucks though.
  • @sesanti
    Derek Smart was right. The same thing happened to Freelancer, but because Microsoft had more weight than any SC individual backer, they fired CR, and "completed" the game by removing all the scope creep CR had promised - delivering a shell of what the was had been hyped to be. As for SC, there's no big publisher behind it - each individual backer has no weight whatsoever to "fire" CR, so CR can do whatever he wants with no accountability.
  • @markeedragon
    I'm going to be a Star Senior Citizen by the time the game is the MMO promised.
  • @PantsuMann
    7 years ago I was in a gaming community and our oldest member was 81. As Im not in the community anymore I cant be sure, but I'm pretty sure he's gone now. He was a very dedicated supporter of the game, spending lots of money backing the game. Kinda sad really.
