2025 started out a bit unsure for Star Citizen, but as the year continued on, it became clear the goal was to deliver fast pieces of content on the back of more stability. This succeeded to varying levels, but ultimately the year was a huge positive change for the game.

Star Citizen is a seemingly very complex game at the moment without supporting systems. Still, there’s a chance the real goal is to pack as many casual opportunities into this game as possible. Today I’m joined by Grolo to discuss a theory he has that Star Citizen could, much like Wow, attract players from all corners of the industry to play a game unlike any other.
