Star Citizen single-player spin-off boasts planetary flight, destructible cover-based gunplay and Half-Life-style puzzl…

Squadron 42 is the single player campaign of Star Citizen, that is supposed to launch as a separate game. It’s basically a small portion of Star Citizen, but with a story and ending. I’m still not confident; waited too long for that.

It’s going to get ugly when the chickens come home to roost on this one. They are slowly marching towards $1 billion. They are over $600mill already. And people still donate. It’s baffling.

Currently Star Citizen is at the #1 spot for the most money spent on a video game’s development on this list. And that’s including adjustment for inflation.

I can’t believe Shadow of the Tomb Raider was that expensive, it’s such a forgettable game.
