I AM A BETAGOON, ASK ME ABOUT PROPER GRIEF TO CASH RATIOS.

TBH, nobody should laugh at that, but some can't help it (myself included).

IMHO, it describes this very shitshow. I am skimming the CIG forums, that redit stuff (I still don't really understand how that site works...), and this thread.

And I am unsure at the moment...because all the posts in CIG forum read like copy-and-paste poo poo, like if someone has the flu or stepped on a lego brick really bad, reddit argues about religion, and while the overall tone is not positive here, I tend to say that I red the most honest wellwishes to ben in this dead gay comedy forum. Then again, it's late, I drank some wine, and some country next to me tried a coup d'etat yesterday, so I guess my brain currently simply tries to escape this plane of existence.

True. The thread was better when it wasn't 500 pages :regd08: Ben is fat jokes

I think that's more of the "I've made a huge mistake" look. Ben's looking back at all the decisions he's made that have taken him to this point.

So if the prevailing attitude of Shitizens seems to be, "games take a lot of time and money to make, dummy" combined with the fact that the game has apparently only been in development like 15 minutes or whatever - how long do you suppose the average backer expects to keep waiting and paying for SC? Another 4 years? Another 5 years?

Bringing your thread to a screeching halt, guaranteed.

This horrifying funding tactic creates the development vortex. A churning pool of online shows and blogs that showcase horrible yet terribly alluring development pipelines. The song of the vortex is heard by all gamers in the world, whispering sweet melodies of immersion and fidelity, beckoning all people to come bask in its 64 bit presence. Its song is especially strongly felt by virgins, summoning them to the online store. The gamers that enter the free fly weekend stare dumbfounded at the clipping and t-posing in the vortex, or throw their money heedlessly into development. Sandi then collects suitable victims to use in other funding projects. Eventually, when no whales are left in the world to view the vortex, funding dries out and dies. Gamers with strong family ties will be less affected by the beckoning and those with no friends or family will be more drawn to the vortex.

I'm not going to wish death on the dude, even if he is trash, but I wonder where things will go should he kick the bucket. I want to imagine some heartfelt "we'll miss the guy, and now we're doubly committed to making the game he would've wanted!" post on Sandi's twitter to make the poo poo pile they're stacking up and calling a game all the worse.

In the end, his dominion did not touch a single poster.


Since the disappearance of Ben, the goons have longed for the warmth and reputed splendor of Moma's posting. These accusations lure Moma from his heavenly abode to once more post on the dead gay something awful forum. But the intent is a malicious one, for once the Ben has entered the labyrinthine hallways of the hospital he is led astray and trapped in the healthcare industry. With only goons posting among themselves, the forum is plunged into darkness. As long as Ben remains hospitalized the posting quality will continue to be reduced forum wide.

The last time they tried to hit a patch deadline they were late by 3 to 5 weeks.

Hell, they reached patch letter T or so before it left the illuminati evocati.

This mighty project is a blessing to gamers across the world. Spergs, grognards, perverts and cultists are all drained from the communities of other games. All these toxic gamers are siphoned from these communities and concentrated in Star Citizen, effectively giving Chris Roberts a huge income from a toxic community of whales. Player satisfaction is slightly increased in all other space games in the world.

You mistake CIG for a company that actually knows what its community wants and cares enough to achieve it.
