"Jank" assumes that the product actually works in some way. It doesn't, all of the on-foot stuff was entirely broken, to the point where you couldn't even use the inventory system half the time, and I never managed to complete even one of the simplest of "go here, kill X missions" because there'd always be one NPC spawning beneath the terrain.
I'm unconvinced that Star Citizen will ever be a complete product. Parts of it have been in pre-alpha state for a decade now and still don't work. I was shocked at how unplayable it was. I don't know whether it's fraud or wild scope creep or sheer incompetence. I'm not sure it's a valid point of comparison to Starfield; they're selling the same fantasy (or at least trying to, in both cases), but they barely feel like they're even in the same genre.
