Goat Simulator Is Still Around, Now Making Fun Of Star Citizen

Against all odds, Goat Simulator came out in 2014. Against more odds, it continues to exist as a real video game that’s very dumb, but pretty fun for a couple hours. Last year, it got an expansion that made fun of zombie games. Now it’s taking aim at Star Citizen, of all things. Star Citizen…
