Well, I was right again. On Nov 22nd, I wrote that CIG had a plan to start selling land.

I even used Something Jones transcripts in that post.

So today they have started selling land. In a broken tech demo which has very little gameplay mechanics and NO gameplay loop.

As I said back then, I suspected they were going to do this, which is why they prioritized barren moons, then prematurely released 3.0 to PTU. I just didn't think they would be brazen enough to do it at this point in time. It's unbelievable.

Some people were saying they would actually do it today, but I was still skeptical as it would be completely insane. Just like when they released 3.0 to PTU.

This is all desperation.

Did you like forget this is a forum where people can press that ? below your av?

This reminds me the the good old days of Second Life Safari, when people would buy up plots to put down whatever dumb roleplay building they wanted... And goons would build a goatse right next to it. And then charge through spawning flying dicks until the servers crashed.

I recall the flying dicks during the keynote. There was also the enterprising individual that tried to have sex with everyone on the Gorean island as a jetplane.

At the moment, you can also not see someone else's chariot even if it is there for the other person.

At the moment, you can take 5 steps after you wake up in your wank pod and die from the door.

They've effectively made the long dead "pvp/pve slider" a 'paid for' component.

*Thinking out aloud*

CIG has succeeded in grooming it's own supporters/backers/investors to the point where they will pay how ever much for whatever thing CIG sells.

SCdophiles, CIGdophiles, or some such. Con artists.

which is why its funny, nobody would be giving him grief about having already called it in the July blog if it occurred a few months down the line, but having Mr. Secret Sources assert land sales definitely weren't happening now, having them happen 2 days later, and then crowing that he was right all along is loving hilarious

Anyone who thinks that this is going to sink them or that they're going to walk back the land claims is kidding himself. This is loving Star Citizen, the backers are going to swallow this like they've swallowed everything else that CIG has forced down their gullets.

Pretty much this. Most of CIG's remaining customers are rats trapped in a sealed metal box: they can't possibly chew their way out, and they won't even bother to try. A month from now, they'll have forgiven CIG and forgotten whatever hurt feelings they have today.

I don't know if CIG's customers want to see real gameplay from Star Citizen at this point, they're so wrapped up in imagining this Perfect Game that they'll never have to play.
