from boomers who's games couldn't get funding or releases games so
medicore no one even bought them. get over your self really.
Another fact, perople would rather fund Star Citizen and "hope" for it's release, then play the shit that is available now.
Here are some FACTs:
It's 9 years over due and still in some form of incomplete Alpha. Not even some vague year estimate for Beta Not even some vague decade estimate for release Not even one single second of Squadron 42 has been played by customers
I think the funniest part of your post is where you make fun of "boomers". You do know that Chris pitched this game to target people who are like 45 and up today right?

Players can't retain any of the progress they've earned nor play SQ42.
It really doesn't matter what one can do in SC, nor how much they might enjoy it, they are just playing for funzies right now which seems all rather pointless, but perhaps that's a millennial or Gen Z thing, leading an angry, sad, purposeless existence with little accomplishment?

I wouldn't know so I'm asking.
why would you expect to retain progress in an Alpha ? All games are pointless, there's no point in any of the games we play but to fill personal time with enjoyment.
The fact that you are filling your personal time, time used to live and breath on earth to hate on something you've never even tried... says a lot imho/
In a nutshell, and this is something that is disclaimed as to what you are buying, is the early access of SC as is, which is how it also works on steam early access.
This is why you also not seeing metracritic professional reviews of steam early access games such as Valheim or Baldur's 3. Both realities co-exist.
Valheim is available for purchase and has over 300,000 Steam reviews. Can you explain the difference between buying a game and pledging money towards a game?
Pre-release reviews, that's why Steam labels them as such even after the game releases, then after launch is when professional reviews kick in.
Pledge is just terminology, what matters is what is disclaimed as what are you buying and its terms, and as far SC goes, it's akin to early access, pledge package gives you game access and entitlement to new stuff as it gets developed, that's about it.
I just mentioned the early access and reviews thing because as it shows, despite early access games on steam being sold "as is" as what you're entitled to, it still co-exists with the reality where these games do not get professionally reviewed until they leave early access.
why would you expect to retain progress in an Alpha ? All games are pointless, there's no point in any of the games we play but to fill personal time with enjoyment.
You're down-shifting into some existential nonsense to win this one?

To be fair, Star Citizen does have one of the most refined websites I've seen for a game. I think the graphics and so forth are really top notch. I'm not being sarcastic there, I wish all game sites had that level of polish. [...]
I have a very hard time thinking of anything that interests me less than the question how pretty the website for a game looks like.
An up to date and fairly accurate wiki for example would be of far higher importance.

It matters to me because attention to detail.
Also, the inability to put up a website doesn't speak well of a company's ability to create a game, IMHO.

Fun is the main point of playing games.
Some may have more fun playing SC in it's current state than they do finished alternatives, despite progress not being saved. For them it is time well spent.

Yet while "some" feel that way, MANY do not. I know I bought into the hype many years ago when Chris first announced what would be the natural successor to Wing Commander. Today I have not played a single second of SQ42 in any way, shape or form. So while I guess it's great that "some" are content, I personally fall into the other camp. And I think I have a valid complaint. At least as valid as those happy with an non-permanent Alpha version of one of the two games promised and bought all those years ago.

Yup. Sadly we have advanced to a point where Darwin’s law seems to no longer apply.

Its more that we live in a strange society that basically demonizes traditional values such as family, in which jobs pay too poorly to found a family anyway, etc.

Any stretch goals for when they reach $1B in funding?
Which might be soon.
612$Millions
and rising.
From almost 5 Million "Star Citizens".
Have fun
I think Chris is just showing the ineterest that is accruing on his treasure pile.
I am sure all the people working on the project work for free and it all goes to Chris private treasure pile as you suggest. Makes sense ... or not?
Have fun

Just know none of what I say is personal but if Star Citizens want to take it to heart that's their own conscious gnawing at them.
See you all here again, probably when funding cracks $600M in a month or three.
Cheers.

$600M, $750M, or 1 Gazillion dollars, no matter how much money comes in this one is likely to never go out the door.

Apparenlty just not the capability to actually finish and release it.
