Roberts is optimistic for the game industry as a whole.

"I think there's money to be made in all of them. I just like the PC business because there aren't a lot of people competing there."

Just get a really good concept artist to start with, friend.

And then maybe the best saleswoman on the planet of earth who always has been ever since she was a little girl.

That many billions can't be good for the economy, especially not the dollar-dollar one. Maybe that's why SC doesn't have an economy.

It sometimes feels like I'm doing that here, D1E!

Honestly, I can't help but think this story is best told as a documentary. It's one thing to read about botched year end live-streams, jank player animations, endless credential embellishments, on camera eye-rolling, Peter Gabriel parody videos, hilarious Derek Smart moments of scene-chewing monologuing and all of that--- but to hear and see it unfolding, it's just hold-your-sides laughing funny "I can not believe this stuff ACTUALLY HAPPENED!" cinema. It would be funny even if it was only $10m raised but $110M+ is A Story Of Our Times. Yet it's infuriating and tragic, too-- for reasons we know too well. So it has all the requisite ingredients for a fantastic documentary-- even if you didn't get participation from CIG players.

A book could never be half as fun or funny. Plus, the gaming press (or business press) when they DO finally, finally pull their heads out, nut up and actually start telling this story are going to feast on it for months. It will get skinned, gutted, and sold for meat for ages, so that might dampen demand for 3rd party accounts. (There's much they'll miss of course, because they're lazy, incurious and will focus only on the obvious but hey, that's what they get paid for!)

This is however why an SA compendium would be a gem-- I know I can't stop reading it. I think a chronological compendium of the best posts of the SA Star Citizen threads (going back to thread 1) would be an incredible book-- better in some ways that a straightforward narrative account. It would be an editing nightmare but drat, what a way to give readers a realtime picture of the rise and fall. (Derek's eventual arrival on the scene and eventually into the thread itself is STILL AMAZING to me sometimes-- yet it's just one bizarro plot twist in a story that never stops serving them up.)

Derek's blog posts and other outside material would of course be needed too but I can't imagine any book providing more laughs while also serving the useful historic purpose of depicting the story arc of Star Citizen.

Still, the world needs a documentary of this. And not the one CIG is wrapping up.

Don't worry. It will happen. I know things :)

Well as you may or may not know, one of the benefits bitcoin has over fiat currency is that it's not tied to any sort of limited production method. In this way, runaway inflation doesn't harm bitcoin like it does traditional money, because bitcoin IS inflation. So I'd say you could probably have as many bitcoins as there ever were and ever will be.
