Cant wait to get in on this grand CIG land-race experience just to have my stellar view be eventually obstructed by a 100km-tall anime figurine sticking out of the neighboring Daymar like a priapismic erection.

RSI is basically a pyramid scheme at this point. It seems like they have no intention to actually release a playable, finished game to retail. None of their efforts are focused on gameplay loops.
Despite having no gameplay to speak of they will happily sell digital goods in a game that does not yet exist, exchanging these phantom virtual goods for real money. Then they "create" new virtual goods to sell, except that these virtual goods don't even exist in game. They're selling words on a screen. They're selling a rendering of a digital spaceship.
At least lootboxes give you tangible things in game. It might not have been the thing you were hoping to get, but it at least exists in game.

CIG can't get more than 24 players to occupy an entire solar system but they're going to let players claim and build poo poo on planets that can simultaneously hold thousands of people. In a game supposedly about space ships.

I mean gently caress it, at this point you either have enough of a brain to know that this is a giant scam from a company that has neither the competence nor the vision to successfully implement what they're selling or you're a lost cause who exists to serve as a beacon of schadenfreude and fremdschämen.

Not sure about the missiles, but the tutorial was so broken just walking down the steps in the first 10 seconds turned into a broken slideshow.

End result was the community felt it was better to remove the tutorial after discussing the issue with CIG.

He's a 40-yr old DINK with a tech job. So instead of volunteering his free time or income for social causes, or I don't know, adopt a kid with his wife, they piss away everything on his dolls and JPEGs. That's their contribution to society.

Word is that he is supported by his parents. Either he is a trust-fund baby or they got a really large settlement when they dropped him on his head at Wal-Mart when he was young.

We're at around $3.5 million after about 4 days. With about 5 left to go, plus the usual week after where poors can contact CS with excuses of why they couldn't get the money ready in time to buy their dreams, can they manage their regular $36 million a year? Will Coutts get paid? Could the next holiday stream possibly be as broken as last year?

I wonder what else could be left in their bag of tricks?

- Selling indulgences (pay cash to clear criminal status)?
- Selling licenses to star systems?


So far they haven't really broken new ground in whalemilking technology, they have just done it on an unprecedented scale. I will be truly impressed when they figure out some way to get money that no game has attempted before.

They should start selling all the asteroids too, that way people can pre-buy whole asteroid fields. New players joining in when mining in 4.0 is launched, will be met with "sorry this asteroid has been claimed and can't be mined" messages throughout the verse.

Otherwise it's gonna be pets. Definitely pets or slaves next.
