EP 216 - When Should Star Citizen Stop Calling Itself an “Alpha”? (Ft. Xerostate)

After 12 years of development Star Citizen is still adding the initial mechanics and features to Star Citizen, officially that should mean it’s still an alpha, but CIG is treating things a bit differently.

Regular maintenance, updates every week, more permanent narratives, and in-game rewards all hint at a game trying to move on, but with so much still missing, is it really ready? Or is it all semantics that don’t matter anyway? Join me as I discuss with Twitch streamer Xerostate.
