So https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/star-citizen-patcher-2-5-0/158639 apparently the new patcher has an option to limit bandwidth.

But reading through the patcher notes, most of the improvements were on what music it plays.

What a game.

Yeah, I'm sure EA would turn down a project with a big fat check of 150 million. No sane publisher would break their greedy, DLC/micro transaction based mold for such chump change.

“Getting to learn the process of game development, communicate with the developers and ask questions directly to the best in the field is a very rare opportunity,” Mr. Slattery said.
(bold emphasis mine)
And you can do none of these things with Star Citizen, whereas you can do all or most of those in many other crowdfunded projects.

I did my part.

An acquaintance asked: "You play Star Citizen, right? I'm considering trying it."
I said, "Hahaha! No." He probably confused with me mentioning I play Elite: Dangerous. Then I listed him some traits of SC and pointed him to the OP of this thread.
He said he had a good laugh and is now happily playing Eve Online.

Lies. No one "happily" plays Eve. You have to be sort of a masochist just to hit OK on the installer.

I find it hilarious Chris talks about how he is happy a big evil corporation isn't making star citizen , then the article lists the 4 studios and 400 people Chris has hired

And he name drops mojang as his inspiration to make a great game , The game made by one nerd in his basement and then sold for 2.5 billion to big publisher

Yeah. My guess is that it was massively cut down for public consumption, because from inside the labyrinthine turdmaze that is the Star Citizen Saga it's probably hard to figure out how to get it across to normal human beings.

It's not a bad article , They touch on the bloat of too much money a lot , and Chris traps himself a few times by saying they will never accept outside funding (what happens now if it's revealed he's had outside funding)?

It seemed like a silly thing to want quoted in an article about you anyways , when the focus is on how much money you've made and there is no game to show for it ... why highlight how greedy you are by showing you just want a B instead of.an M
