This has been confirmed to me by third-party sources. Apparently Chris deliberately didn't respond, but instead invited Kotaku UK over for an interview AFTER GamesCom. Which means he deliberately didn't want the story out before the show. They raised $4 million. I have no reason to believe that they would have raised that much money if these articles were already out in the wild.

But as much as it pains me to say this, I don't see how any publication could turn down the chance to interview mush-mouth himself. Especially for such as hot story that he clearly didn't get the context of.

Well this definitely isn't helping them much before CitizenCON.

Well for someone to be the smartest person in the room there must be someone who is the lowest. I, and the others I'm collaborating with, think we can reach several people here in a constructive dialogue. Several people have expressed interest in playing the game when it released and I know goons have donated over 500,000 dollars to Chris's vision over the years.

Saying people are here solely to mock and strike down those taller than them is demonstrably not the case.

Star Citizen has now reached the tipping point where it's far more likely that someone defending it is trolling rather than serious.

We've come a long way Citizens, congratulations.

TheLightPurges, if you wish to be taken seriously I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist on you listing the ships in your fleet and answering a few other trick questions designed to separate a low effort troll from someone who truly is deluded and mentally ill like Lazrin.

Can you guys post some unflattering photos of Chris's face for me? I have some already but I need a good profile view, a nice smirk from head-on, a confused gaze, and a 3/4 view of him kind of looking downwards. Also, this is a long shot but if there's a picture of Chris doing this :ssh: that would save me some work. I'm too lazy to look through their Youtube and I'm hoping the guys who make the .gifs of AtV and stuff have some already saved.

If you really want to know the problem with this project, "Chris's vision" is a really good place to start. The guy had a vision around the turn of this decade to retry his half-finished freelancer idea. He can't get money from any established source since he has a reputation at this point, turns to crowd funding instead.

Spends time making a fancy video for kickstarter, and raises a poo poo load of money. Fast forward almost 5 years later and look at the buggy poo poo-house cryengine mod you have to play. At this point the whole project is a complete train wreck. 124 million dollars of backer money unaccounted for (won't release any sort of accounting for a AAA game promising open-development with backer money), no deadlines, not even self-imposed deadlines for a supposedly AAA rated game.

The best part of everything is that the Star Citizen "community" has been taken on such a ride they've reached some sort of Stockholm syndrome-esque place with regard to the project. All criticism must be responded to. All critics must be deposed. How dare a comedy web forum speak badly about Chris! How dare you point out how Chris hired his wife to be the second in command while hiding it for as long as possible! How dare people point out that Chris has missed every deadline he ever tried to set for his own game development! Forget about the Morrow Tour!
