As you can see, we have not been idle this month (nor have we ever been idle). We are very excited the Xi’an Aopoa Khartu-al is being enjoyed. We know how long you have been waiting for it and we are proud of each new ship we release. Although mainly focused on by our compatriots in the UK, the Starfarer’s hangar debut was also another milestone we were excited to complete. As mentioned earlier, we cannot wait until you see what we are doing with the Caterpillar, Herald, Reliant, and more. While we are proud of our accomplishments this month, it also reminds us we still have many more milestones to reach for. See you next month!

The 'Pay to Win' argument on Reddit/RSI forums is the most asinine argument imaginable. Unless you are paying money to (literally) win, then it isn't pay to win :downs:.

Well then 99% of the poo poo that gets bandied about as pay to win, isn't actually pay to win. Very few PvP/competitive games (PvE doesn't count, because you are not winning against other people!) have cash only items that give you an unbeatable advantage over non paying players. Because you know what, it would be unfun, completely subvert player progression, and no one would play it.

So pats on backs to croberts and the team at CIG for making a game with the expectation that you will spend an unbearably long time to grind out enough in-game money for a ship upgrade. In a game like Eve, capital ships have a purpose commensurate to financial cost. In Star Citizen, there is no end game or real purpose for large/capital ships. It is just a bigger, cooler toy which is held back to encourage people to spend money. It is the same mechanism to encourage spending used in lovely pay to win mobile games that rake in millions of dollars a day.

Citizens are fighting back against the most upvoted comment in the 'unpopular opinion thread' pretty hard. The echo chamber is as strong as ever.

two weeks arrears is standard for employers that pay bi-weekly. usually instituted when any of the staff are hourly to make it easier to do payroll.

It feels so good to be so bad.....at posting.

Just an observation on Lesnick's comments on the livestream at Lando about the "leak", but it's pretty loving unprofessional to bring that kind of work related thing up in such a public manner. That's something that should be left to a meeting with Lando's direct one up, not for Lesnick to rub in on RtV. If anyone should be fired, it should be Lesnick.

The whales that still want to fund this poo poo-show, don't have what (balls, disposable cash to set on fire) it takes see it to the end. It's too late.

The whales who want their money back, and who are righteously disgruntled, are the ones who are capable of bringing this poo poo-show down, and straight into court. Feds be damned.
The E.L.E. is real. And the whale involvement is only a secondary effect.

The Reddit thread is a Gold mine of hilarity. I haven't spoken to any of my sources yet about it.

I just love that sometimes the last thing people prepare their schemes for are humans. And I believe you when you say the E.L.E. is real, since it's seemed like there hasn't been any other way for this to end as long as CR is at the helm. If any of your sources have anything to say about the repercussions of the Reddit thread it would be awesome to hear about.

I've got news for you. With 8ace, and that other chap either curtailing and disappearing, and me just watching some of here flail about, you're going to have to come up with your own material now. That's what happens when some of you continue to kick the Golden geese in the balls.

And when the E.L.E does happen, as shocked as some will be, you all would have missed everything leading up to it.

So yeah, nice job. :smug:

A lot of people compare Sandi to Maleficent and I don't feel that is correct. I see her as more of a Cruella Deville. Narcissistic, believes she is fashionable, spiteful.. And not at all adverse to abusing other people's big furry pets.

This is awesome.

That plus the addition of in-game PTU stores for easier fleecing at every corner is probably the roadmap that came out of the big meeting of the minds earlier this year.
