You decide how to make your way in the galaxy, whether you're a simple merchant trader, a fearsome pirate or a ruthless mercenary...and anything in-between.

There are currently no trading mechanics, no piracy mechanics (unless you count glitching through the cockpit glass to steal a sperg chariot) and no mercenary mechanics. There's also no galaxy.

Immense sandbox universe to explore

There are like two space stations and not even one complete star system. If it's not a galaxy it can't be a universe either.

Unmatched immersive detail

This is clearly bollocks. Star citizen is not that detailed and there are many other more complex games out there.

quote:

social and career-based MMORPG

There are no careers, no role playing beyond your own imagination and with a max of 24 players it's not massive in any way.

Literally 100% lies.

I'm pretty sure I'll get a ton more enjoyable gameplay out of the complete Gamebase64 collection running on on real hardware than I'd ever get from Star Citizen. ;)

If game devs got sent to jail for overblown claims they'd have to build an entire jail just for them.

Maybe you could share a cell with Molyneux.

Of course I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about the promises made to backers in exchange for money.

You DO realize that the standards are DIFFERENT, right? You have probably not been keeping up like most of us, but every single crowd-funded project that the FTC and State DA and AG went after, were over PROMISES made.

Foolishly, I assumed you were commenting on the thing you quoted, which just shows crobber talking about all the things their AI will never do. This is bullshit but it's hardly unprecedented. Nobody from Bethesda got sent to jail because someone pre-ordered Oblivion and was disappointed in the Radiant AI.

I'm afraid it's hard to imagine a scenario where Crobber winds up in the clink due to Star Citizen. That would take a pretty serious level of wrong-doing, and being an incompetent boob with an uncontrollable urge to spout ~~dreams~~ does not make someone a criminal.
