Those who support the space online game Star Citizen will now have access to all modules. There will be no more passes for individual game content.
The presentation of Star Citizen at CitizenCon has restored fans’ trust after the minor conflict between “industry expert” Derek Smart and the developer studio Cloud Imperium Games. Now CIG is taking it a step further and is abolishing passes for the individual modules. Previously, access to different modules like Arena Commander or the Social Module was granted depending on backer status and by purchasing special passes. From now on, every backer of Star Citizen will have access to all content, including upcoming ones.
Access to All Content of Star Citizen
Studio founder Chris Roberts explains that they want to give something back due to the many newcomers and the ongoing support from the community.
Anyone who supports Star Citizen in the form of one of the offered packages no longer needs to worry about not having access to any part of the universe. There will be no Star-Marine pass or Alpha-2.0 pass… you won’t need to spend extra money to gain access to any of the modules before the game’s release.
Every upcoming version of the game will launch on a test server, to which all backers will have access. Those who have already spent money on previous premium content will receive compensation. For the Alpha access pass, you will get 10,000 UEC, and for the Arena Commander pass, you will get 5,000 UEC. The credits will be credited to players’ accounts in the coming days.
Chris Roberts further states: “I also want to thank all of you. You have been the vanguard, the battalion that has fought the battle from the beginning. Your influence on Star Citizen will never be forgotten, as we would not be where we are today without your early trust.”

All of this is considered a hollow facade by Derek Smart: Star Citizen is coming out with big news: Hollywood stars, single-player campaign, alpha plans. Is it? Decide for yourself.
