At first I was like, "28 seconds, I'm not ready to invest that much time in a Star Citizen video." Then it wasn't really a Star Citizen video, and all was well.

Doesn't look like anything important to me. They still have the mark for their stupid game and related internet poo poo. Just don't have the mark for action figures and non-BDSSE-related poo poo (because they couldn't provide proof of the use of the alleged trademark in commerce to secure it).

That I've gotten this many responses on blind flailing in VR causing problems, in this thread alone, in 30 minutes, suggests that I'm totally correct in thinking everyone will smash into things while using VR. I don't even understand how you don't stomp on the wires and rip them out.

You're basically blindfolding yourself and throwing your body around. You might as well be sleepwalking while dreaming you're in an MMO fight.

Why hasn't any video game website ever done an article on this? I'd be more worried about punching my stove while in VR than whether my gender was properly represented in an FPS.

Yes, people have written about it. http://www.usgamer.net/articles/will-virtual-reality-kill-us-all

Ship-to-ship docking being removed seems like it would impair a tremendous amount of Citizens' imagined scenarios. If that's removed, then you basically have the final version of boarding already in game, and it is unworkable garbage.

Mentioning the sale of the Defender and how it could change before release then going on to

quote:

Speaking of the sale, I wanted to take a few minutes to discuss why we do things like Concept and Flight Ready Sales as I see occasional discussion about why we are still raising money after collecting almost $150M from crowdfunding. My challenge to the community was “YOU set the ambition by your level of support.” We have been holding our side of the bargain ever since. It’s why we have grown to 428 employees worldwide over the past year and are still looking for more talented developers

It's YOUR fault the game isn't out yet, you've given us too much loving money. Also, now they are at 428 people?!?! JESUS

quote:

Our profit is seeing how many more gameplay possibilities there are in Star Citizen today compared to two years ago or even when I first pitched Star Citizen 4½ years ago, but it was your enthusiasm that inspired us and gave us the freedom to get it done right, rather than just get it done.

CIG has new merch for sale and they are making it so you can only buy 1 item at a time, and are charging exorbitant shipping prices on each item purchased

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/684qon/new_merchandize/



$13 dollars for shipping and handling on a $15 t-shirt



also store credit doesn't cover shipping and handling fee's

You didn’t back Star Citizen to be a ‘safe’ Space Sim. You didn’t back it for a game you would play for a few weeks and then discard. You backed it for its ambition, the shared dream of a seamless space sim where you can go from flying a ship to walking around inside one, to space walking, to touching down on a planet and stepping outside, all at a level of detail and scale never seen before. You backed it to have a destination to escape to with your friends for many years to come. I am 100% confident that one of the reasons why we have raised so much money is because we dreamed big. When we debuted the “Imagine” trailer back in Dec 2014, it was a dream of the future, but now with your support we are on the cusp of realizing that dream far more literally than anyone could have imagined.

Hell the whole thing is like a pep rally speech. And the last 2 sentences have 3 usages of the word "dream".
