I still can't play the one I actually bought, Squadron 42, so no there's no game. There's a live demo for star citizen but nothing but promises for the one they said would come out first
So this hyper specific thing that they changed focus from is why you shitcan the entire rest of the game? The story driven campaign that takes a lot more time and resources you're upset about taking time to develop? Like come on man. This really is Cyberpunk all over again. Just let them work. Go play Helldivers 2.
Yes me pointing out they still haven't done the part I paid for is shit canning the game. I'm sorry I don't want to just play a tech demo while I wait for the game.
Also bad analogy as cyberpunk was playable and launched
Notice how "Squadron 42" has a different name than "Star Citizen"? You bought the tech demo for a module of a larger game when you could have waited because clearly you're not interested in the tech demo. Development isn't a straightforward process and you had to know that going in. Sorry you think there's "no game" because the section you wanted isn't done yet. You're just wrong.
Cyberpunk released nearly unplayable under the pressure of people threatening to kill the developers for pushing back the release date too many times. Almost like they shouldn't have put a release date. You seem wildly uninformed about both games.
You do realize the original kickstarter and pitch was for squadron 42 right? And by backing you'd get extras in the form of the MMO Star Citizen universe coming out after the SP Squadron 42.

Honestly I don't think you know anything about either...
And unlike most kickstarter scams, they're still trying to honor that original pledge.
Notice they didn't promise an exact date? Damn that's wild. You wanted to be an early backer so congrats, the monkey's paw curls and now you need to grow up because you somehow haven't over the course of the development of the game you keep whining about taking so long.
The adults who backed this project with WAY more money than you are still mature enough to put this in the back of their mind and go about their life with the assurance CIG will make good on these pledges. Helldivers 2 is a great game and there's no kickstarter for you to buy and bitch about later.
I'm confused why you are so adamant nothing is wrong and why you keep saying helldivers as an alternative.
Because nothing is wrong with a development time that's longer than you want it to be and Helldivers is a fun game.
