Star Citizen 2.6.1 was released on February 18th, so conservatively 14 days ago. Only 5 players have more than 28 hours played of Last Man, and no player has more than 28 hours played of Elimination. Only 43 players have played more than 14 hours of either game mode.

Star Marine is dead.

you're analyzing their player data more thoroughly than they are, they just analyze the funding data

oh, and if you're analyzing it, are those 43 players spread over 3 server zones?

How do you access that information? Can it be parsed using an API?

I dunno those are pretty good numbers for the bdsse .... 10 years after its released

Seriously though they spent how many man hours and endless lies to finally crap out star marine and not even their die hard core backers could be bothered to play it

The future is looking bright for sq42 though

Just a reminder, it's absolutely not normal to spend all day every single day for months on end following people on something awful and the star citizen thread, trolling for keywords like "Doxxing". It is also morally hosed up to joke about loving kids. Thank you.

In that same timespan (14 days), CIG has raised over $1.5mil

Any conclusion based on this is depressing, right? Either it's yet more proof that the funding tracker is bullshit, or it's yet more proof that people are pledging thousands and thousands for a game they aren't actually playing

I think we have all dispassionately shown many times that they don't buy into this for the reality, only the dreams. They have a perverse incentive, on both ends of this bargain, to never let the game come out.

Derek says its not doxxing so its convenient that we won't post here in case he reports us for doxxing.

Their constant cries of "its public record" makes me think they just searched court records for people named Derek Smart.

Shill retort:

Yes, it would be completely finished, if you ignore all the things that SC promises to be minus everything not allegedly going into 3.0 (which is pretty much everything a space game actually needs).

I think the entire shitizen population, their friends, families and everyone who by proxy or thereby directed, reads his ridiculous, shilling, brain injury style posts are now dumber for having witnessed such a shameful display of outright dreams winning over sensible and collected thought, there is no place, no institution on this Earth that should be asked to house this rampant window licker.

I can only find comfort in assuming he hasn't passed his defective geneseed onto the next generation, if he has then I feel nothing but pity and sorrow for the cursed offspring and hope they find peace in knowing that one day Lethality will likely meet his demise from willingly drinking the brightly coloured liquids under his kitchen sink with utter gay abandon because they look like tropical fruit juice drinks.

This honestly never occurred to me since I always assumed they were just happy to throw out vague smears in hopes of getting attention. But this is Reddit, where armchair detectives knew who did the Boston bombing.

Dear CiG,

I cannot believe you allow these fags and jews on these forums. The act alone of them creating a guild and grouping together is clashing with my religious views and I feel icky.

If this is allowed to stand, I will henceforth retract my numerous and substantial pledges.

Love,

One of the first things we bitched about on the RSI Forums was that the only rule of "Be Good" wasn't exactly doing much to curb the misogyny, racism, and homophobia that was prevalent on the forum.

I know we say #NotACult a lot, but my mom and aunt were in an honest-to-goodness cult and this is the first thing that's really hit close to home for me

Whenever their prophet disappeared (which was often - it was a doomsday cult and he got a lot wrong and was frequently in hiding) the "congregation" would turn on each other viciously. It was never an outsider's fault, and god forbid they blamed their leader - it was always their own lack of faith or breaking of some rule

Ben "I would have been back earlier, but I got jewed in CounterStrike, friend of the family. #21,860" Lesnick would surely never let the community turn into a festering toilet. I'm sure you are just speaking goon lies.
