Star Citizen is an ambitious project as we all know - but one feature CIG intends bringing to the live game has the potential to alter player interactions fundamentally - and change what content creators can do. Face Over Internet Protocol.

It turns out that Star Citizen's funding is far from a finished affair as the came continues to rake in millions, or in this case $1 million and some change, since Cloud Imperium Games rolled out the alpha 3.3 release on test servers.

Star Citizen's CitizenCon 2948 in Austin, Texas, brought lovers of the under-development and crowd funded space game some real treats and even the most cynical watcher would find it hard to fault Cloud Imperium Games' vaulting ambition.

Let's not mince words here - getting into Star Citizen has proven to be a risky affair, something that's still reliably keeping many players away from it. Now however, you can have a free go at CIG's space sim game until 27 August 2018.

Cloud Imperium Games, the developers of Star Citizen, are hosting another CitizenCon this year and while it's normal to charge for tickets in order to attend in person, they have decided to do so for watching the livestream as well.

You know, I'd love to be talking about last instalments of games by Crytek or Cloud Imperium Games but since neither seem to be interested in launching anything other than lawsuits - here we are knee deep in game related legal matters.

Eve Online and Star Citizen fans have entered an internet scuffle after the latter's developers Cloud Imperium added the Vulture, a ship that looks and sounds way too similar to Eve's Venture to be a coincidence. Let the flames begin.

Cloud Imperium Games have started a controversy train when they removed the cap on maximum UEC currency in Star Citizen which could ruin the game's economy before it launches. Chris Roberts responded to criticism by defending the decision.

Okay, deep breath. A multiple sclerosis patient backs Star Citizen with $4,500, expecting to play the game by 2014, when it was supposed to launch. Fast forward to 2018 and his illness has progressed so he asks for a refund. And loses.

You know, if this wasn't a large company with so many backers, I'd start thinking that Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) are getting ready to pull a scam or something, as Star Citizen's Terms of Service were updated with a no refund policy.
