Cry havoc and let slip the pepe ' s of war . <| sep |> We have a number <| sep |> No . You can buy actual games for far less . The Steam sale is on right now , $ 45 would buy you several really good games . I can ' t see a logical reason at this point to put any money into Star Citizen . If the game gets released as promised , great , buy it and enjoy . But why pay now for a game from a company that hasn ' t released a game yet , run by a man who ' s last experience in the industry was nearly 20 years ago , and which tries to make a virtue of refusing to provide and meet any sort of schedule or release dates ? Preordering a new game from an existing franchise made by an established publisher runs the risk of paying for a bad game , why take that chance when there ' s even less reason to suppose a good game will be released in a timely manner ?
