I'll be honest, I was only able to get about halfway through it. I mean I'm glad the dude is woke up, but... I could do without personalities like that championing the anti-SC cause. The kind of foul-mouthed tantrumming focus on little glitches and inconveniences is funny, but I think it dilutes the general message that this game is a scam. They know they can't make it, but they're lying to their employees, backers, investors, and themselves. That's the scandal here- people can excuse bugs and glitches all day, and if they're fixed it's likely that this guy will flip back. But the heart of the Star Citizen outrage is that CIG is selling something they can never make, and they know it.

Yes, Anvil Hawks can be trained to strike you with a gavel, as seen here:

No. It's garbage word salad. I think they are saying that the name of the pretend ship is Hawk, and it's made by a pretend company called Anvil. Hawks are threatening to other birds, so there could be a metaphor that likens ships to birds (common in English) and thus the Hawk ship is equally fearsome to other ships. Or not.

Is the Peter Capaldi thing real or is it a joke/hoax? Because I felt my brain leaking out my ears at the terribleness of the dialogue, and I have taught writing classes to English as a Foreign Language learners, and to people in nursing homes, many of whom had dementia, and this is literally one of the least fluent, least polished works of fiction I have ever encountered. And I include the one dude with Alzheimer's who kept writing about taking a bus trip with his dog.

Yeah, I'm struggling to go through his videos (in general -- and especially the ones he goes all spergy about ships). Not to mention his bipolar-like attitude and going back to shill just to spite Derek (Derek why are you still hang up with this guy?).

This one is no difference. I'm at half way point and he is all over the place. He curses, dismisses the whole thing, then tries to give feedback in the worse way possible about little stuff, makes stupid squeeky voices, disses his comment section... It's probably his way of venting, but he'll again realize who his fanbase consists of (like that Saurus Wtf lizard).

I mean, people say he goes full hater later in the video, so maybe I'll skip to that just for the lols.

Look, if these guys were good content creators, streamers, players, space-game aficionados, or anything like that, they would not have dedicated themselves 100% to star citizen. The only reason they get views (and validation to keep marching on) is because, even with the incredibly low quality of their ideas and content, the SC fan base is so desperate about getting content -any kind of content- that they'll gladly watch their (pro-sc) videos, specially when the alternative is playing the alpha.

You have to be a special kind of person to truly invest the kind of effort (and money) these guys have invested in a non-existent game, for whatever reason they do. And when they break they do it in unexpected ways, which is actually why Roberts should be a bit more careful about the fan-base he has carefully groomed, some of those guys could be actually dangerous.

Take for instance that Fandred1 character. Two days ago he was bitching about the game non-stop, bitching about CIG allowing other people to play the game and how that was complete bullshit, and fantasizing about becoming a "goon". Today? After subscribing to get access to the game other people can't play? Total 180, he's in loving Nirvana.
