I remember being in high school, so excited about star citizen coming out as soon as I get to college. College was 5 years ago, and I’m still waiting. The promise of this game is so unbelievably enticing but I’ve given up on it.

I can only think of one other game that has gone this far.
> Rockstar and Take-Two have not yet confirmed the price of GTA 6, but some expect the game to be priced above the $70 standard for current-gen consoles. Last month, Zelnick addressed the concerns around the game's price and said that consumers would pay for the value offered.

The difference, and the reason these comparisons are always disingenuous, is that Rockstar didn’t have the consumers fund its development and miss its promises repeatedly.
The studio is funding it and has been clear they’ll release it when they feel like it.

Has a company ever had a greater fiduciary incentive not to finish and release their game?

So a game that’s at what? 40% of its projected goals/completion is now 33% more expensive than the most expensive game ever?
