We are just waiting for him to get a refund and join the flock. Sure he will still be a horrible person, but for chris sake we've let dr. smart in here anyone can seek redemption.

The Internet abhors a vacuum. Stupid poo poo like Reddit posts and streamer drama fill the void that would normally be filled by a functioning game.

CIG is literally working on smoke and mirrors now.

This is immensely pleasing. Scam imitates illusion.

It's pretty fascinating to watch. I am convinced that thanks in part to how much crap they show CIG will become a case study in how not to develop software. Chris Roberts will be a legend for all the wrong (right) reasons.

:same:

I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone involved in this poo poo-show at this point, be it a backer, a developer, a shill, or streamer. There has been every possible message relayed to indicate that this is a lost venture, that this is the effort of fools and madmen, the ignorant and the incorrigible. Yet the the messengers of reason and healthy doubt have been ignored or shouted down by those who have the most to gain from heeding caution.

Let the flames rise higher, let the smoke fill the sky and let all those who gaze upon it know that it's never been done before. It serves as a shibboleth of our times. You speak the words, "Star Citizen," and at once you know to which tribe someone belongs to. Especially if you ask, "how much are you in for?"

Let there be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Let there be blogs. Let there be refunds to those lucky enough to receive them at this stage of this developing wildfire of failure, and lifelong lessons to those who do not escape the burning of bank accounts.

But most of all, let there be a cavalcade of :justpost:

I always feel bad for Bored Gamer, he's just lovably optimistic that I feel every disappointment weighs on him more and more heavily (especially since he suffers from depression). I hope that things work out for him. :shobon:

On the one hand I kind of like BG - he's an affable fellow, doesn't get involved in pointless internet drama (afaik) and, crucially, hasn't opted for the hyperactive screaming/faux edginess that make streamers/youtubers so insufferable as a species. Buttttt...it's hard not to think 'Oh come on guy!' when watching his videos. I don't think I've ever heard hims say anything even mildly critical at all, ever. He'll just rattle off the latest nonsense from CIG with a 'And this is great, as it'll allow them more time to refine the blah blah blahs'.

I didn't know that he has depression issues, hope it works out for him. He should find a better hobby.

He was basically the last streamer who streamed star citizen the game regularly (not counting dreamz podcast).

Also he was incredibly easy to troll on stream.

He quit his job to do the streaming thing and I guess CIG pulled their support because he obliquely complained about it on stream during his rant.

On one of his streams the chat was talking about child discipline or something and wtfo said "yeah nowadays kids get sent out of the room. When I was a child, they had me kneel in a corner with bottle caps on the floor"

I remember he laughed retelling that but like two seconds later his face went to stone. Weird

I've wondered for a while now how these guys make money playing video games on the internet. I found this video which breaks it down. The guy said he has 200 viewers on a good day and streams approx 20 hours a week. I didn't realise you have to pay for twitch subscriptions?? (He mentions 5 dollars?). There's donations too.

Either way it's pocket change.

streamers get 2.50 of that 5, they get all donations I think. Ads would amount to pennies a day. In any case its not nearly enough to live on and he was being supported by someone for the years he was streaming.

After review, the directors felt that Crusader’s moons were still feeling a little underpopulated, so design has been working to provide more points of interests on the planet surface as well as aiming to try and include some additional mission types beyond the original number of proposed missions.

I think I may have found the problem. They should fire this "director" fellow (or fellows). The time to add in extra scope is not when you're 8 months behind, nor about 10 days from when you're supposed to be showing your product. Chris, please take my advice; this guy's gotta go.
