Star Citizen Is Warming Up

Over the last decade, this game has been climbing a long development ladder that began with a relatively basic pitch for what amounted to another wing commander. There was a lot more to it, but the essential goal was to modernize a concept from the 90’s that remains fondly regarded by everyone who played it. While I never encountered Wing Commander in its day, I have encountered a ton of people who enjoyed it, especially since Star Citizen got rolling and dredged up all those nostalgic memories for them.

Its not a bad time to get in the game, but even if you decide against it, consider funding others that you think look fun. Hits and misses abound, but win or lose, developers are only able to take risks that players are willing to back. We can set the standards ourselves, or let them be set by wall street, and last decade, they’ve missed more often they they’ve hit.
