Yeah sorry, gently caress off. I got death threats from your community over a refund, you don't see me cowering in a corner.
Your only motivation for posting this bullshit is to drum up sympathy and inject zealotry into your cause, because if you were truly sick of social media, you wouldn't have posted anything at all.

When breaking rocks in Russian forced labour camps, at least you know that every rock broken is progress. No-one is going to tell you to re-assemble all the rocks as the rock breaking pipeline needs urgent refactoring.

Death threats? That's hosed up.

Not as hosed up as the people that make them.

Incidentally, Twitter will usually take death threats extremely seriously, because of a spate of people who, you know, actually murdered other people they stalked over social media. Don't hesitate to report people for death threats.

Apparently the most important thing the Austin Studio Update has to talk about is David Swofford and which members of the press he lies to. Also there's a female model that's being animated. And the QA would like to hype up 2.5, because that's important work that the Austin studio does.

Are those the placeholder jpegs of jpegs? I'd forgotten none of the skins exist. This is the best loving game ever!

There is currently an amusing argument going on in NMS where nobody can be sure if its singleplayer or not and the dev keeps making cryptic statements. Star Citizen reminds me what a true trainwreck gaming scandal looks like.

Dude their store is amazing. There preorders for preorders.

You can preorder physical goods that don't exist to preorder for the digital goods that don't exist.

Its a Mobius strip of preorders.

Don't you need, you know, an actual game before you prove you can fund one?

Well in fairness if we're just talking about funds, I'm pretty sure Croberts could have funded six games by now.

I never did the original KS. Did it say "Star Citizen & SQ42" when you pledged money to it? Is it clear that when you buy ships - obviously for use in the MMO portion of the game rather than the highly scripted single player - that you're funding SQ42?

Virtually everything they've sold is for the MMO and yet all the money that was funded is being spent (reportedly) on SQ42. How does nobody have a problem with the fact that the thing they're spending money on is going to a completely different product?

I mean the real story is obviously that it's bullshit to make them look like an underdog when the next update is as desperately disappointing as the last 5. A $118 million underdog.
