A friend of mine started medschool at the same time and is now nearly fully through medschool. He’s also a backer under 10,000. He doesn’t know if he’s never going to have any time to play, or if he’s going to fully drop out of life (likely) and only be a doctor and play Star Citizen with all of his free time in life. Bit of a neurotic asocial fellow.
Anyways, I have a post history across social medias to show that I’ve never doubted this game would fully come to fruition. Around 2016 or so I concluded I might change my mind if they had nothing meaningful to show after 15 years.
The hate surrounding so many things about this company/game has always been exceptionally amusing to me. There are people in the subreddit/YouTube that have quite literally been complaining on an at-least weekly basis since like. 2014 (I say this as I post shadowbanned on HN) They really devote a significant portion of their lives solely to being extremely butthurt about the company, Chris Roberts, and his wife. The disgruntled ex-employees that come out of the woodwork every now & then are wild too.
They’re still not completely out of the pits yet, but I think people are going to be surprised when this ends up being a completely jawdropping(decade defining?) game. I also think I’ll probably still be disabled, even if I have surgery soon, recovery is very, very long. Life is strange.
