Star Citizen (PC) - starring Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill and Gillian Anderson

Jokes about the game never coming out aside, I'm seeing more bits and bobs about Squadron 42 and Star Citizen in general and it's looking a lot more optimistic than it did a year or so ago.

Squadron 42 is now content complete and in it's polishing and optimisation period. Knowing CIG that'll probably be at least another year before they finally ship it.

That's going to be the deciding factor. I think if they can get Squadron 42 out and it's well received, then I can see Star Citizen going from a joke to something worth looking at.

They had their conference recently where they showed off S42 and the new SC stuff and some of the tech they are implementing looks strawberry floating insane.

Digital Foundry had a look at it.



I'm certainly more interested in Star Citizen now than I've ever been. Next free weekend they do I think I'll be checking it out.

It'll be a launch game for the Amico, together in electric dreams.

And they’ve all been pricey. In 2021 the pack cost $40,000. In 2022 the price increased to $42,000. But now the 2023 pack has jumped in price even more and costs an eye-watering $48,000.

What makes all of this even wilder is that you reportedly can’t even buy the big expensive $48,000 super pack unless you are a member of the Chairman’s Club. And how do you access that? By spending money, of course! To reach that level you’ll need to spend over $1,000.

So this is really a $49,000 pack if you are a totally new Star Citizen player looking to own everything.
