Comment on Is it just me or is Starfield kinda meh?

You know, I kickstarted that project (not gonna call it a game at this point) back when it was first announced and I’m STILL salty about it. “Wing Commander” was my first favorite game as a kid and that whole series plus Privateer and Freelancer were huge for me. I was SO excited for another game from that guy.
The worst part about the whole thing? People are still falling for it. Like, if people learned from my mistake and the project would finally die, at least I’d feel like I accomplished some small thing with the money I wasted. But no, people are still giving that grifter money for some weird reason.

I wanted it to succeed. I came from the same background as you did there. I nearly put money into it, but barely decided against it because it was hard to afford. Looking back, I’m glad, but I truly don’t blame you for putting money into it at first.
The space fascism in Star Citizen would up being glaringly terrible (and somehow worse than the fucking Confederation in the Wing Commander setting by far) and Chris Roberts putting himself directly into the lore by name was fucking cringe. And that was before the grifts really accelerated.
