That's what happens when you tie your identity into a product, into the dream. Insults to the dream become insults to you. Criticism becomes self-criticism. People are very bad at that and nerds who love space games are the worst of all.

They're also invested financially and emotionally, and worse still this is often to get a social advantage over other backers by having the biggest spaceship. You can't admit fault or you lose that status.

Combine this with misplaced reverence for the Crobber and you have a recipe for utter and complete idiocy that will rationalise almost anything.

"The code is done, I just need to :words:" says every developer ever when they've yet to start, but have thought about it a little.

I do not understand. Is that not what everyone does? Procrastinate till the due date then mad dash to throw together something to appease management since whatever it is your making is not going to be used in a month's time.

Jester "Nazi Propaganda" 86 isn't this altruistic so he is probably just trying to eliminate some of the grey market supply to keep his profits intact now that he got caught signalboosting himself on alt accounts.

Although if the Grey Market really is at 60% or less value then CIG should be worrying. That's a direct barometer of the desire for their spaceships and the last time I checked it was still at 80% value. This is a big "LESS POTENTIAL SALES" sign if the confidence and excitement has eroded so much that the secondary market is having to have almost 50% discounts to move their jpegs.

It's part of their very being. Part of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is 'belonging', the concept of being in a group, or otherwise supported by people that accept you for you. Star Citizen has become a symbol of that need to belong to something bigger than themselves. I'm not pointing fingers, either, everyone has causes of differing levels of objective importance, but the reason why people will normalize, explain or otherwise attempt to minimize the impact of something is because they're invested emotionally; ignoring the obvious financial entanglements, protecting the self is what people go to the mat for.

It's actually kind of fun to watch, but I get the sheer bone crushing stupidity of attempting to defend someone/something that there is no actual connection with other than a fondly held belief.

The reverence is a blind; it means nothing. If someone else popped up and offered them the same level of agency in their second-life knock-off, they'd pivot in a minute.

Seriously, if Star Citizen fans learn one thing, and one thing only, I wish it would be this: "The work is not done until the code is deployed and working in production."

Just because a dev marks a story complete doesn't mean anything material when it comes to an end-product. It has to be integrated into a releasable build, tested (not trivial), deployed (not trivial), and proven to work in a user-facing production environment. Until all those boxes are checked, you don't get to say mission accomplished.

Why. Just WHY the gently caress to these rabid fans spend their entire day rationalizing CIG's incompetence and blatant misinformation? I will never, ever understand what's in it for them.

I've seen a lot of crazy poo poo on the internet but nothing as crazy as Star Citizen. The mental leaps Citizens have to jump through now to believe there will ever be anything worth playing are amazing.

So he says...

Here we go again with the drama. Dude, chill.

Wait!! I'm legally liable for something that you posted. Yeah OK. As if someone can't go on the NJ website, look up the names in the REDACTED image you posted publicly, and gain access to the rest of the info in the docket.

Are you high?

I am not a public figure

What's that got to do with anything? I was saying that anyone with access to the image (above) which YOU posted, can pull up the docket info. You were saying that because of an unredacted version that YOU posted in the channel, that if you were harassed IRL, that it would be my fault. I'm still laughing at that.
