Anyone who can, could you sum up what Betty Bigtits was for the new comers to the thread.

It was a classic moment that should not be forgotten.

There's not much to that story, iirc. Catfish for jpegs, posing as a single mum(?) that wanted to get into Star Citizen with her and her kid. Totally worked, Reddit shitizens bought jpegs for 'her'.

Just another dot point in this ongoing saga of hilarity.

You clearly don't understand game development

These are the unfortunate people who'll really suffer when SC releases and turns out to be only an average game.

Panic attacks and severe anxiety.....hmmmm..... What exactly happens to him then when I go swooping in like Maverick from Top Gun and pump a missile up his backside (ooo two Tom Cruise references at once) blowing his space chariot into fidelitous pieces on one of his FedEx pizza crate delivery quests between planets?

Does he start spasming on the floor, or is he going to climb a clock tower? Personally I think it's safer for all of us (and him) NOT to buy him any ships

I'm still amazed that more backers haven't revolted on this concept alone. It literally never comes up any more, and it looks to me like CIG and the remaining cultists are doing what they can to memory hole the original intent.

In fact the only part of this I'll debate is intent. I don't think CIG abandoned the original backers in favor of lowest-common-denominator mkb players - I think CIG didn't have the knowledge or talent to make a proper space sim with CR at the helm, so they made a lovely flight model, then retroactively played it off as intentionally catering to an evolving playerbase.

CIG is the cat that walks away from every accidental fall with head held high and a look of "I meant to do that".

Yeah, does anyone even remember the "Mouse Commander" fiasco?

"Man I can't believe we got movie star Gary Oldman to star in a videogame story. That's insane. He's probably still a bit leery about his participation especially after the way Sandi kept touching him so lets be sure to alienate him as much as humanly possible by making him look really loving stupid in front of our audience. Bishop is a serious character after all."
