I am more and more curious about how exactly CIG is budgeting their funds. For example, how much have they allocated for refunds? Is it close to nothing, or are they a bit more prepared? Either way, it would tell us a lot about how they currently feel about their product.

I like Full Burn, it complements the game nicely. It has that late 80s garage band feel, much like star citizen has that late 80s garage game developer feel.

Full Burn is great, but it doesn't fit what they are going for at all. It kind of suggests a fun, dumb, arcade-y space adventure where you hop in a ship, fly fast and save the day. If CIG made a space ship game based on Flash Gordon featuring Full Burn, I'd be all over that.

However, since Chris is making his very serious very dramatic Heart of Darkness in space with 110% fidelity and no bumping, it's completely inappropriate. The only appropriate music for the game that Chris is making is music that can be played with air horns.

I can just imagine Chris and Sandi cruising along in the sun in an open top porsche and he turns to her and says 'wanna hear the new mix?' and he palm slams a cassette into the stero and as the music kicks in they both smile, go 'woooo yeah!' and Chris floors it, and a couple of F15s fly past overhead, all without a hint of irony.

I love that, I think that happened.
In fact I think Chris is singing on the song.

He spends a lot of time making movies where he does other accents. He may have just come from shooting so certain words are creeping in as he's been practicing.

He might also be sad about Bowie if they were friends.

In fact I think Chris is singing on the song.

Then during an instrumental portion of the song, the volume lowers for a moment as he pulls into the parking lot of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, skidding in a perfect 180 and backing into a parking space. Sandi runs into the meeting with a dozen bottles of vodka screaming, "Cheer up guys, I brought the booze, WOOOOHOOOO!!!" The meeting devolves into a drunken frenzy as she hops back into the car, he pulls out tires screeching, and the music swells again as the chorus begin. "The only truth in the 'verse is you and meeeee!!!" and in the background you see a dozen drunk guys spill out from the AA meeting into the parking lot and start getting into their cars.

I think the point is being missed . For me Lesnick is the physical manifestation of the soul of this project . Shrouded in Gluttony and lies and a patronising condescending attitude towards the very people who made the whole project happen. Like a school teacher giving a lecture to some naughty boys , as he reaches in there pocket and steals there dinner money . This is a man who has 0 skill are experience in design and engineering and cryengine . And yet he abused his position in order to gain favour with his masters and on around the Verse proceeds to tell every one that he is selling a ship " a personal project of his" he said. Its the science ship and with all add-ons costs about a $1000 its huge its NEVER been done before, hell even a whole division of biowhere could just manage the Normandy and that was ground breaking

And here he is Ben a x school teacher and dungeon crawler telling you he has designed a world first over the course of 4 days in his office lmao , A Hugh science ship that's going to work in a MMO and you will be able to interact with it all and your for just under $1000. He and the designers must have know it was bullshit but he sold it like it was the gospel truth and told you why you needed it. Best of all almost no one in the community stopped to ask some very important question like "is this even possible ?" they lapped that poo poo up

Bens and CIG behaviour has been criminal for a while now they have been selling things that are never going to get built are sold its like selling a time share investments for dream holiday homes . And when all the paying customers turn up to there dream homes for a holiday and see a building site and a shanty town.Then the penny will drop and they will realise they have been scammed . If I was ben I would part company and distance himself for the sake of his health and his wife .Because like it are not he has been the mouth piece of CIG there is still time for him but I am sure he will lie to the bitter end are until some deranged fan comes looking for answers to there broken dreams he is CR number 1 minion and deserves all he gets .Goons are doing the gaming community a service by shedding light on the biggest crowd funding scam in history

Its like the Big Short except with video games.

But SC's collapse will be a slow burn. Like a car crash in slow motion. Its gonna take a long time to actually get the point where SC will go down in flames in spectacular fashion. Years even. I thought it was gonna go faster with the Escapist article but nothing really came of that. CIG is dodging bullets and it'll take some time but they'll finally collapse.

And you have to remember that any reasonable person wouldn't buy anything SC has to offer, even follow it as religiously as citizens. The only good thing that SC has proved thus far is that there are (over) 1 million idiots in the world who can fall for even the simplest scams.

Let's not fall into the shitizen trap of conflating accounts with backers. The citizen number reflects everyone who's signed up for an account, from wesha-grade spacewhales to li'l old protogamers who literally don't have time to put up with the pile of bullshit which is Star Citizen.

There's maybe a half-million actual unique backers & even then I think that's being generous.
