Those two posts would, without a doubt, make The Wulge cry and go for, at the very least, another round of shock therapy (no doxxing was committed for this - he literally admitted it on reddit).  Got your back, friend! Unless you're at this Fyre Festival. In which case I'll carry your bread sandwich.

Wise Learned Man posted:The money people paid to have that store credit is already spent. They can use it for digital poo poo or merch that is already paid for and just sitting around in storage, but they need fresh cash for shipping, which is a new expense for CIG. So not only are the shipping costs ludicrously exorbitant, and not only can you not combine items to save on shipping, but they make it look like either A.) they don't have the money to pay for shipping without fresh cash coming in, or B.) they want a guaranteed profit on the shipping charges on each item. y'all got any more of that fresh money

Yeah, with another cool mil I could totally see.... fully immersive AWACS from this new AWACS space ship we've just developed for concept sale! Here's a 20 page document with pictures of how we see it being! Build it? With CryEngine? Hahaha! Are you out of your mind? Dude, we're just coming up with these ideas because the community demands it by this constant money fountain! We don't actually have the ability to make it. But it sounds sooo cool doesn't it??? Better buy yours now for $375!!! Hurry! There's only so many pixels left before we run out!!!

Lack of Gravitas posted:I just wanted a game where I could use my modified pirate spaceship to nudge an asteroid onto a near-planet trajectory, before stopping the ship and EVAing onto the asteroid with a few extra oxygen tanks, then riding the asteroid into the planets vicinity without being identified by automated ship defence satellites, before jumping off the asteroid and dropping to the planet surface with a special forces HALO insertion while being concealed from ground-based sensors by the breaking-up asteroid, landing near an isolated RSI reseach & development lab, skinning a nearby animal to use its butchered remains as a disguise to get into the base, then stealthily neutralising the guards and technicians as I steal the latest designs for the concept jpg's, before escaping via the labyrinthine network of sandworm tunnels beneath the planet surface, surfacing near a starport where I can hack a freight terminal and hide in a box, having myself delivered to the pirate starbase I call home, before finally delivering the stolen plans to a local crimelord in a seedy stripclub, earning myself a nice fat bounty and an enjoyable nights entertainment from a few of the stripclubs dancers, all done seamlessly and without any loading screens.

It's massively staged cutscenes, guys.  The only thing all this proves is that they can make a cutscene, which has never been the issue. The issue is the actual game, which outside of using the same graphics as the cutscene, is nothing like the cutscene.

For all the poo poo we give Star Citizen and CIG, at least CitizenCon has actually happened every time they've run it. Even if it is a bit bewildering. Thanks TyreFyre.ManofManyAliases posted:You must have some twisted nightmares. I was trying to go for whimsical and sad but apparently I climbed Jacob's Ladder at some point. I guess sometimes the clown car that is my brain opens its door and only a river of blood comes out. Blue Cross Blue Balls posted:Thnx for confirming your Ben Lesnick the only person who's already played SQ42 as confirmed on some YT vid awhile back. Speaking of nightmares. GreenElephant posted:Huh, did that text always specifically mention "schedule announcements"? Guess I won't be refunding my shirt anytime soon They can say that but "promising and not delivering a product" is still grounds for a refund in most customer protection laws around the world and missing a deadline is part of that. CIG can wring their hands all they want about it but ultimately it's a country's law that defines what is or isn't eligible for a refund and trying to tell people otherwise doesn't make them right, and that's why they'll never get the point of the courts being involved before giving a refund. Quite frankly I don't know why they bother, the only people inclined to trust that statement are the people who operate on blind faith with them anyway and they aren't looking for refunds are they? There's no 'refund loophole' they can close, it's just how most customer protection laws function around the world. I get that they really want this game to succeed but we're way too many years into countless setbacks and false promises, and major letdowns. I don't see how anyone could still believe this game is going to change or revolutionize anything. It's shown that for a shitload of money you can get a shitload of time spent with not much to show for it. It's shown that people who have a long history of loving up seem to be immune to learning lessons that stick on how they hosed up. It's shown that it can do less with more than any of its "rivals" that have already managed to release their games, then iterate new content on top of it to expand their game's scope. Nearly 500 people but they're still trying to hire for key positions. Studios across the world that come in to do shows and talk about their thought-bubbles more than any actual things that are happening. All that Star Citizen is going to change is the name and subject of the caution story told to people getting into the industry. "Don't be a Star Citizen" the catch-phrase when someone starts trying to come up with features that extend out the scope of a game and everyone else wants to reign them in.

If even a fraction of the tech Chris is touting is close to functional, a few videos of that would be an amazing fundraiser for CIG. Instead they're selling overpriced mouse pads.

Most of these posts belong to 3 years in the past. At least. All of their posters by now deserve what's coming to them. Find more generic Crobbers quotes and reasoning based on "hopefully CIG are not buttfucking us" to spend more money on this poo poo pile, that will be the most awesome pc game in 5 years.

But also, I think what nobody has realized to date is that these alien life forms are all mocap'd using real alien life forms. You thought Croberts has been wasting backer money? You want financial clarity? Don't you think it'll blow your minds when you realize Croberts established contact with actual literal space aliens, mocapped them and put them into this amazing game? I mean, how else do you expect the game to have aliens if Croberts is true to high fidelity and mocap? It's all real, commandos.

It is insane yes. The diabolic logic goes through backers realizing that only by pledging more can they get a game at all. It is an abhorrent, all or nothing, with no middle ground, blackmail of backer´s will. It is more money AND the BDSSE, or face the abyss of failure.
