The Star Citizen IP is excluded collateral because it has a net worth of $0.

More than that, the Star Citizen IP doesn't exist.

Despite the constant issuing of "lore," JPEGS, and other bullshit streaming from Chris Roberts distended anus, there is no value whatsoever to the collection of assets that he considers the Star Citizen "IP" - they're nothing more than his generic imaginings, with no recognition factor outside of his mentally damaged fan base.

Do you know what this is a picture of?



It's a Tie Fighter. Everyone on the planet has known what this ship is since 1977. Pygmy tribes in unexplored jungles make Tie Fighter cookies on May the Fourth. It's an instantly recognizable icon from a beloved franchise. We know what color lasers it shoots, we know what the engine sounds like, we know how they fly.

Do you know what this is a picture of?



It's a Vanguard. Do you know how you know that? Because the loving name of the ship is on the goddamned picture along with the ship, because if it isn't, nobody would be able to tell it apart from any other ship they've seen in any other generic space movie or game. Nobody, aside from an incredibly insular and maladjusted community, gives the slightest poo poo whatsoever about what it is, what it's called, or what bizarre piece of shat-out D-level "lore" features its use.

And nobody ever will.

If anything, the Star Citizen IP has negative value - time will wind up being spent formatting the media on which it's all stored, and entry-level IT gets paid by the hour.

Star Citizen is a "spiritual successor" to Wing Commander. It's about as valuable as buying Mighty No 9 when you could just rip-off Mega Man yourself.

It's one of the easiest places to just farm karma for new shill accounts. so the actually might be shills. Or trump supporters. or both.

This is the shittiest piece of poo poo CIG has made in a while. It's a loving box. Glad Lethality loves it so much and thinks a box is iconic. It's like saying "that exploding barrel sure was iconic!" Or "did you see that wall texture? Those brick textures sure were iconic!"

Lethality: Everybody knows you're a cheap shill not even getting any kickbacks, but as you try to have an opinion about games and be a relevant news source, dumb comments like this erode what fractional credibility you may have.

It's a perfectly reasonable explanation, but realistically I don't think it will do much to dampen the controversy that's been swirling around Star Citizen almost from the very beginning. Nor will this: The release of the 3.0 alpha that has been slated for the end of June has been pushed back to an "aim date" window sometime in August.



Also, I'm spotting a pattern... :ohdear:
