I mean, just think back to what patch 1 was like and think of all the changes that will now be in the game from feedback from this forum and maybe reddit alone. Advantage, jump-disengage, individual sneaking and jumping, wizards learning cleric spells, cantrips causing environmental eruptions. There are so many really positive changes made from community feedback. I think this game is really a flagship for how an involved community can help shape a developer into making a much more enjoyable game. I would 100% do it again if it was a game I was looking forward to. I know a few people would like even more changes, but the fact is the difference from then to now is amazing
100% This. Participating in the development like this helped Larian make a better game, and let us feel guide them in ways that a community doesn't usually get to. If it had been released as it was originally, it would have been a lesser game. Also it was nice to have a comfort game that I could revisit a couple times a year without feeling compelled to be a completionist. I'll save that for next month
That said, I probably would not do Star Citizen again. I ended up selling my upgraded package to someone else and am just parked with the basic starter ship in a garage I never visit for a game that isn't installed.
