I can't change how people feel and its unfortunate many of you feel that way. I was just countering the assertion that "nobody here is threatened by the game". There clearly is some bad blood here.

Some people feel like their decision to get a refund or the opinions they've made many posts on for years will be invalidated if anything even remotely positive comes out of the star citizen community. Its a classic sunk cost fallacy.

Its why we get so many kneejerk posts. Like someone posts a tweet "Star Citizen is shaping up to be a great game" and like 3 people trip over themselves to say "its not a game smug"

I have finally decided that I am done with this game. As of now, four years in, this community still gets by on wishes, rainbows, and fairy dust. This "game" only exists in our minds as we envision swooping over a planet in our massive idrisses and picture epic corridor to corridor gunfights, capital ships blasting away at each other with swarms of fighters buzzing in between and engineers making emergency repairs.

All of that is our imagination at work. Look at what we actually have. A bunch of small tech demos that still break frequently and haven't been significantly advanced in over a year. We have a substandard FPS module that, while a great first attempt, is not indicative of mechanics that should be pretty much wrapped up at this point for the single player game. Some of the wins that have been celebrated are tiny. Glass that breaks? Flashy glowing pickup icons in arena commander? Wow, color me impressed!

The ship sales have led to bait and switch after bait and switch as ships are nerfed or redesigned before they ever come out. We have marketing tactics that would make EA' blush with embarrassment and we've had some of the worst live streams I have ever seen over the past few months. We have what is basically hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of DLC ships that are going to jack up game balance to all hell when this thing finally comes out.

At this point, who knows if SQ42 even exists? Why is it so difficult to show us the game? 4 years into development the project shouldn't even remotely feel like it may be a sham but this game continues to have an off putting stink to it. When delays happen for the PU it's because they were working on SQ42, when they happen for SQ42 it's because of the PU.

I hope that this game winds up being great but I think it's a pipe dream. For everyone here who pumped at least a thousand dollars into this dream I hope it comes out and you feel like you've gotten your money's worth but I'm done with this sham.

There's confirmation of this out there but like last time not linking it, not even if moma wants to bet on it this time. Also don't mention the guys name as shitizens going to be real mad at the number of people leaving.

Traditionally the title of consultant in this context is code for "we booted them out and wanted nothing more to do with them but didn't want to just come out and say it because it might look bad and we still need to make a profit".

Nah - Smarty doesn't win. I just rustle his Jimmies every now and then to keep his old man ticker going. It's all in good fun. But yeah, he's not right - ever.

That guy is totally retarded. Him and the moron who took the video of an external view camera, while trying to pass it off as a control camera. They backed Star Citizen. So it makes plenty of sense.

These retards are the reason that I disabled that camera less than two updates later. Trying to fly an aircraft using a 3pp view camera is like wearing your pants inside out, then screaming when your dick gets caught in a zipper.

You're reading it backwards. The assumption is that the business will continue to exist in the next year, and that the financials have been prepared and signed to reflect this (without any material misstatements or uncertainties that would cast doubt on this premise). In this case, the auditor agrees with the directors' assessment and offers the opinion as "unqualified," meaning no modifications to this decision in the auditor's report. If you do not make this assessment, then why even continue to present financials? That's what this means.

Yes, but what exactly does that tell us about Star Citizen?

When can we cease labeling ourselves as hyphenated Americans? posted:

December 28, 2014

The continuing and ever widening racial divide in the U.S., promoted by the hate mongers who would not otherwise have a purpose, could be repaired if people thought of themselves as simply "Americans" instead of allowing themselves to be segregated by being labeled as "[insert ethnic group here] "hyphen"Americans". How many of us were actually not born here, recent immigrants aside? I can consider myself a native-American, because that is indeed my heritage - indigenous peoples, but most Irish/Polish/Greek/African/etc-Americans were not born in their country of heritage. Better to have people accept us as we really are - firstly, an American, and, if one absolutely has to be reminded, secondly, of whatever heritage they claim.
