Star Citizen which is famous in the gaming industry as a game that has never been released. It was originally intended to be released in 2014, but was pushed back multiple times without a specific launch date. However, somehow miraculously, the game still has passionate fans and has raised more than half a billion dollars through crowdfunding. Even the developer of Star Citizen has many times earned a lot of money through the release of extremely expensive DLC.
Besides being forever in alpha, Star Citizen is also famous for releasing extremely confusing DLC packs at sky-high prices, often featuring special starships for hundreds of dollars. The game probably holds the record for the most expensive DLC in the entire industry. If not, then it is definitely number one in this “industry” now.
As reported by PC Gamer, a new DLC has just been released for Star Citizen called Bundle Legatus 2953. Purchasing this bundle will give players access to over 175 spaceships from “every famous manufacturer“, per ship”was released and conceptualized until 2953“. That doesn’t sound bad, until you realize this package costs up to 48,000 USD, equivalent to 1.1 billion VND.
For the price of “just” a new car, college tuition or a down payment on a luxury villa, players will be able to own “more than” 175 virtual spaceships. The absurdity doesn’t stop there, as Bundle Legatus 2953 is only available to Chairman’s Club players, meaning they’ve spent more than $1,000 on the game.
Obviously, this package is not for ordinary Star Citizen players, and who knows, the game already has “billionaires” ready to spend a lot of money just to own epic spaceships and Most modern? However, in my personal opinion, this is definitely not a good way to make money, especially from a game that has been fed by the community even though the launch date is still very far away.
The bright spot at the end of the tunnel is that players have recently received an update Squadron 42, the single-player campaign that was announced alongside Star Citizen a long time ago. Developer Cloud Imperium Games also stated that the game is now “feature complete” and is entering the “polishing phase”, although they haven’t actually announced a release date. And, because similar words have been stated many times, players should not expect too much lest they be disappointed according to Star Citizen tradition.
