I think you missed the HUGE big YELLOW button on top that had the link...
Did you press accept and close without reading it ?

People may think it was for the cookies law xD

Um, yes it was. This whole thread has been about being able to try out Star Citizen for free, which can be done if people follow the directions given.

Yes you can TRY the game for free but the game was never set to be free to play in general. They have had these open TRY periods a few times before if i remember correctly too.

To anyone who's played this much talked about game, is it worth pledging $45?
I notice that they now have a single player game, Squadron42 and since I'm not a fan of any kind of online gaming, would it be worth splashing out just to gawp at the delicious looking graphics.
I'm a sucker for graphics you see.

I've got big expectations for Squadron 42. I don't really care about the Star Citizen multiplayer. I'm waiting until the game is finished and take a look at it then. If it's as good as I think it will be then I will happily pay full price for it. The latest I've seen on it Squadron 42 should be finished sometime next year but as I'm sure you know there have been a lot of delays from Cloud Imperium. In any case one day we should have a very nice single player game set in the Star Citizen Universe.

I'll wait then, and hope the temptation passes.
