    I wish that articles would just call it like it is. There will never be a “release” for this game like traditional games. It was “released” as soon as you could download the first beta after buying it. Everything since has been content updates and big fixes, just like every other game made.

    They need to treat it more like an ongoing MMO receiving updates and expansions, not like traditional games with a year or two of support then abandonment and possible sequels.

      Tbf not every game breaks as spectacularly as Star Citizen every few updates. I love the game, just pointing out that it’s not considered “released” because of how unstable it’s always been.

        Eh, that’s debatable. Every game has issues, many major ones never get fixed

        Every Assassin’s Creed game released since Origins has randomly crashed my systems to the point it doesn’t even get to a BSOD. Stock, no overclocks, and it still does it reliably. Multiple systems and at least two completely different sets of hardware. I went from an Intel/Nvidia system to AMD/Nvidia, to now all AMD and still have this issue with AC games. Different SSDs, different mobos, even memory standards through these changes. None of my current hardware or OS install is the same as it was when this first popped up. Even across an entirely new set of hardware and OS install in a new case. Why only this series of games? Other Ubisoft games are fine. Other series work flawlessly, something about Assassins Creed games starting with Origins are different.

        So whenever I see comments about games being especially buggy, I always take it with a good helping of salt and the reminder that individual anecdotal evidence is nearly useless.

      What follows, I don’t mean as a direct attack on you, just an observation

      One goes on Spectrum and writes about something being broken:

      it’s still a beta!

      One says SC raised crazy funds and still couldn’t release in 12 years:

      It shipped long time ago!

      Srsly, SC community, make up your mind :D
