Star Citizen has officially dropped support for Windows 7 and Nvidia's GTX 700 series graphics cards with the latest release of Star Citizen Alpha 3.17.

10 years time, just swap Win 7 for 10 and GTX 700 for RTX 3000 series.

Same headline.

Blizzard removed support for XP and Vista, 5yrs ago, for WoW. I am sure 7 will be axed at some point too.

when they kick start this project the promise was to release this game in 2015. 7 years plus after the dead line we not even in beta phase.

I expect running game on that GPU series would be unrealistic. They probably aiming at GPU we still don't have yet. Which will all be old and outdated by time game is released. If it ever releases.

CIG has confirmed that native Linux support will be coming to the game aswell

When a game's name is a punchline of jokes, you know something is wrong.

 

[Fotis Papadopoulos]

You wouldn't want to play the game on such old hardware anyways. Current Gen12 implementation looks very promising, already seeing improved performance.

-- and soon that will expand to entire solar systems

All one of them.

The difference being that WoW is, you know. An actual game, instead of only functioning as a playable benchmark with more cash grabs than most gatchas.

Blizzard's shop is full of cash grabs. Mounts, boosts, pets, appearances, server transfers, ect..

Not really. They do use Lumberyard, a fork of Cry engine and change it so much they call it internally 'Star engine'. No others game engine, including U5, have all required features needed for SC. BY the way, more than 1 million individual backers are palying the alpha, 30K daily on average, with quarterly update adding contents and gameplay.

So you can't support both Crowdfunded model while playing already released games? SC pledge is 45 to even 35$, with no subscription. None backers can also test the latest build several weeks per year for free, next event is this month on the 20th.
Already hundreds hours of entertainment over years. My best ratio versus $ by far.

Haha oh yes... It was widely regarded as the biggest vaporware in history...
