Enlist in the UEE Navy in a cinematic, single-player space adventure. Pilot combat ships, fight on foot, and explore capital ships, space stations, and frontier outposts. Live and work alongside your crew as you battle on the front lines of a galactic war.

It’s not a spinoff. It is the original game that they going to build in the first place. The public universe stuff is a byproduct of that.

Technically true but multi-player part was reached after the seventh day in Kickstarter and .persistence after 4 weeks and 3 million...so very very early

It’s not a spinoff. It’s the story-based groundwork for Star Citizen. It establishes the setting, and the events for the MMORPG.

It has been crowdfunded by all the contributions that went toward Star Citizen, because it contains all the same game systems and mechanics that the MMORPG will have. Except, for the MMORPG they’ll have to work more just to make sure these mechanics work when additional players are involved (network tech is difficult).

I wish them all the best, because quite frankly it’s the biggest crowdfunded title duo (Sq42 & SC) that we’ve ever had - being more than half of GTA 6 budget.

That's not true. You don't know how much went to the Roberts family and inventors (which have extremely beneficial put options as per published financial reporting). It's a fact that Chris Robert lied about the scope and nature of external investment.

Only took so long that I no longer have access to any of the accounts that I originally backed the Kickstarter for.

Guess I'll simply Pirate it, since I've already paid for it anyway.
