          It’s not meh, it’s “we’ve almost raised a BILLION dollars by not releasing this game. Oh by the way, there’s no release date yet.”

            …and?

            Not like people are paying for the release date. And they did release a product, just not under “version 1.0”.

            Seems like people are just mad that a game they don’t like made money.

              Nobody’s mad that didn’t throw money in the pit. It’s just a funny story that never seems to end. Every year they don’t have a finished product, the joke gets funnier.

                  I don’t have a horse in this race, but it’s the perfect counterpart to companies like EA Games where unfinished games come out because developers had to meet an arbitrary deadline. Star Citizen is right at the other end of the spectrum and you see what happens when there are no deadlines and the product is never finished. I would love to play it, but my backlog is so big that I can afford to be a patient gamer. I have about 35 years until I retire and if version 1.0 is out by then I’ll be happy to take another look.
