The Advertising Standards Authority has told Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games to make it clearer that for sale “concept ships” are not yet available in the game.
Redditor mazty made a complaint to the ASA – verified by Eurogamer – after becoming “fed up of CIG and the constant lies”.
The complaint was sparked by a marketing email sent out in July to subscribers that claimed “Last Chance to Grab the Gatac Railen!” and “Don’t miss your chance to pledge for the Gatac Manufacture Railen. This alien concept ship will be leaving the pledge store on Monday…” The email did not mention the Gatac Railen does not exist yet in the game.
