EP 193 - Despite The Struggles Things Are Looking Up For Star Citizen…Because Lore (Ft. TheAstroHistorian)

While games are necessarily driven by lore, they can be a strong signaler of what’s on the horizon. Today I’m joined by Star Citizen “Lorestradamus” TheAstroHistorian to discuss what is 4.0’s silver lining. Factions, their reputation, and what it means for the immediate and long-term future of the game. In the meantime we’ll also be discussing the canceled free fly event, a new AI voice generation partnership at CIG, and what factions to keep an eye on in the game this year.
