Star Citizen: Fan blackens developers in the supervision because he has enough of the lies

Fans of Star Citizen can continue to support the game financially by spending money for ships that it does not exist (yet). But this stinks a user now huge, which considers this practice for lies and therefore reported the developers in a British supervisory organization. That could actually determine a violation. How the whole thing went out, you will learn here on MeinMMO.

What disturbs the user So? The Reddit User Mazty was already dissatisfied with the marketing of Star Citizen. But after the recent mail that suggested him, but quickly to take the sale of a boat of type Gatrac Railen, he had finally enough.

He immediately wrote to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) a complaint letter in which he accused the developers misleading advertising.

What is the ASA? This is an independent organization of the advertising industry in the United Kingdom. The ASA uses - even though it can not prevail itself - the applicable rules for advertising and its Code for promotional practices corresponds approximately to the British laws to advertising.

According to Mazty, all lies are lying and he has enough of it. The ships that you offer there are pure concepts and it is not certain that they would ever exist.

Incidentally, he does not stand alone, even employees criticize that there were more marketing than gameplay at Star Citizen

What is Star Citizen and how it finances itself? The space game Star Citizen was financed in 2012 as a kickstarter campaign with $ 2 million and has been heading for $ 350 million since then.

The game is not released yet and exists only as Alpha, but you may still have to spend money on ships that were previously available only as a concept and it is not certain whether these ships really come in the form in which they were originally announced.

Supervisory Organization reprimands star Citizen, but they may vibrate non-existing ships

How did the ASA react? According to Mazty, after a few weeks, the ASA came after a few weeks. The advertising concept to the ships was misleading, in fact, and contrary to the Advertising Code. The developers were asked to change that.

What has changed now? Who hoped, but that developers do not sell any concept ships, but has deceived. Instead, in the current form of the offer, a gigantic disclaimer now denounces under the text in which it is explained exactly why the ships are not yet in the game.

For this you can get a loan spaceship that is already in the alpha version of the game and that could then be used until the purchased ship then appears sometime.

• Chef says for the long development time of Star Citizen: It is not a brain necklace
• Star Citizen is so huge that now another studio has to help
• We asked 5 players why they have been waiting for star Citizen for 8 years

What does the user say? For Mazty, the cause is not done yet, because this disclaimer is not a statement for him in his eyes fraudulent approaches of developers:

However, if you read the disclaimer, you can see that the formulation is still extremely misleading, as it is asserted, the ships will be playable. Come on Chris, listen to promises you can not hold!

At Star Citizen, there were already trouble with the fans. Some of them were spelled before the release because they are advanced.
