CSGO is all about expensive item skins now. this guy registered on a cheater forum that had a real-money trading section. people trust this section because it costs like $100 to have an account (which he chargebacked and won after this vid). big grief. vid of it is below but not that interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMVmohvyLQE kirbysuperstar posted:It's actually not, and neither are you. Sorry you had to find out this way. he's almost as not funny as anime, which I take seriously, and furthermore Daman fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Dec 23, 2014 |

I like this. It's like the Ugly and Awkward thread in PYF which is filled with unfathomably broken human beings. It reminds me that, no matter how sad I may become, I'll never be "spends $10k to cheat at video games" sad.

Consider that this week Star Citizen put out 15 packages of space ships for $15,000 dollars each, and they sold every single one in about a day. These are ships that don't even exist yet, for a game that you can't even play, and if the game ever does come out then the ships are gone forever once they're blown up. Chris Roberts has been perpetually griefing a huge fanbase by selling spaceships for a video game that isn't out yet, and he's managed to make millions of dollars doing it. And they loving love it.

kalstrams posted:Not all, only those bought before some date last year. Maybe all, but there are some differences, but I don't know much since when poo poo got real I sold my ship for 150% of original price and was done with it. You didn't sell a ship, you sold the promise of a fake internet shiny in a game that's never going to be finished. Given that you made a mad profit from it and got some dumb nerd to pay through the nose for basically nothing you griefed whoever bought it, which makes you pretty cool.

That was true a long time ago, but not anymore. The $15k packages that they recently sold are just a big trash bag full of IOUs for spaceships, many of which haven't even been created yet. If the game does come out, and the ships wind up existing some day, they're gone forever as soon as they explode, and the former owners will have to replace them.

Wait huh, people kept talking about this game like it was in perpetual beta, and you can't even play it? Why would anyone still care? I read the SC thread and oh jeez I'm surpised the OP didn't just change the title to "Money Black Hole." There's plenty of other games that do what SC does, Eve and Mindcraft and Terraria do those things and exist. Sorry if I come across as bitter, just how?

Ahahaha what the gently caress. What are they going to do about bugs? Just pray they never destroy people's 15k money sinks and run if it ever happens? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXJZbPI5nKE (skip to 22 seconds) there's your 15k gone I have no idea how they're going to even try to get away with this in the end because most scams have to escape once people stop paying for them but people don't stop throwing money at this piece of poo poo.

There's no way id spend $15,000 on anything related to a computer, but I sure will be paying $15 for a month's gameplay when (if  ) that game comes out, purely so that I can be part of the swarm of angry bees that camp wherever those fuckships spawn from and blow them to smithereens the second that becomes possible.

If people are willing to fork over $15k for your product (even if that product is internet spaceship pixels or say, TF2 skins) are you as a business going to say "Thanks for the giant wad of cash but I'd rather just charge you far less because I hate money?". Because it sounds like some of you would actually do that. Don't go into business yeah?

The most hilariously evil thing that the developers could do would be to require cash shop items that cost upwards of $100 to repair destroyed ships.

Sorry to burst your bubble I guess. Most of those ships have lifetime insurance. You can never lose the basic ship, you just lose the upgrades if you don't purchase higher insurance. If its any consolation, every ship will eventually be possible to acquire for free in game.

The people who pumped thousands into a video game are still stupid regardless of whether they get lifetime insurance, so it's kind of a moot point. Also, that lifetime poo poo ended a year and a half ago. The people who paid $15k a week ago will all still have to pay for insurance monthly, like you would in EVE

I'm not saying its a good decision to buy that (or the $15k one) though.
