Whew. I showed those goons what for on the SC subreddit. Now time for a little "personal relaxation". Is it gonna be docking manga today or am I gonna continue my sounding experiments. Damnit I wish I can remember that trap manga I read last week. Let me fire up the delicious trap subreddit and see if the boys there can help me out.

Hi I'm just checking in as to the progress of this dead game. Apparently they're giving out keys for it with graphics cards now? My partner's friend just gifted them one and they said something about a singleplayer module coming out "in a few weeks"???? This thread is huge.

Oh really? I think that's the first we've heard of them giving out keys with graphics cards. I wonder who covered the cost of that?

They have an AMD pixel ship in the game though?

I'm sure it has something to do with that

My partner is now claiming that our mutual friend Robin got like four or five keys for getting a new graphics card too so I think they're literally just throwing them at people in a desperate bid to upsell them on ships lol

Were there various referral codes to sign up as well?

I can imagine some cultist @ Newegg shipping department stuffing cards into every graphics card box with the info.

Someone link the graph about how filthy publishers pilfer 75% of your money so that the game dev only gets 25% to make a game and how according to that graph it would be the equivalent of EA spending 500 million dollars to make a game.

You are right. Has there been photographic evidence of CIG spending backer funds on frivolous items? Of course not.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure those are left over from a promotion they were doing with AMD a couple years ago and they're just trying to get rid of them. CIG hosed over AMD and bailed on E3 earlier this year so I can't imagine AMD wanting anything to do with them now.

No one is putting their final lunch moneys into Star Citizen. Do you really think people are that stupid? It's pretty cynical to think that people are ruining their lives because they invested in Star Citizen. Nor do I think it's prudent to judge how people spent their extra wealth. I've seen people spent ungodly amounts on hifi systems and expensive cars that imo added nothing to their lives, but I didn't judge them. It's incredibly pessimistic and apathetic to say that the games we've had so far are good enough because you're afraid of taking a small risk. I'd understand your concerns if the game had like 10 backers but it doesn't, there are a MILLION citizens right now and the money keeps coming in. As far as crowdfunded projects go this is probably the safest. You have well known, skilled leads, a top tier team and a AAA class budget. Thinking that this is an incredibly risky proposition makes you look like a conspiracy theorist.

First off, I remember people (well, Reditors, but same thing, amirite?) mentioning seriously restricting their diets (aka nothing but ramen for extended periods) due to impulse spending on SC.

And you have a "skilled lead" well known for not completing projects on time without any sort of management oversight due to an inability to restrict feature creep and avoid extreme micromanagement.
