Star Citizen Becomes Two Games Next Month [Jan 30, 2016, 1:32 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Part of the
Roberts Space Industries Roundup we mentioned
last night includes word that as of
February 14th, Squadron 42 and Star Citizen will become two
separate packages (thanks Cutter). At that time Squadron 42 will become a
standalone game or an optional add on for Star Citizen, a plan that's apparently
old news to backers of the space combat game(s). Here's word:
At the December livestream, we announced that Squadron 42 and Star Citizen will be split into two separate packages in the near future. To update on this: the split will occur on February 14th. Squadron 42 will be available as either a stand alone game or an optional addon for Star Citizen rather than be included by default. If you want to lock in both games for the lowest possible price, consider pledging before this deadline. You can learn more about Squadron 42, our thrilling single-player adventure, here.
Yeah, I'm assuming the base amount I gave them back before all the BS started includes everything (except the $300 ships I didn't buy) because that's what they said at the time. No backsies. Of course, nothing would surprise me at this point.
Ah, on reflection, here's what I figure: Backers will get Squadron 42. Star Citizen will be F2P with microtransactions. This is a totally uneducated guess since I stopped paying attention, figuring I'll start again once it's finished (sick to death of alphas and "Early Access".... I only play finished games now).
edit2: Er... or the other way around? Um... whatever. I never read the yellow text.
