PhallicPhalanges posted:Is it funnier if the lawsuit goes away or destroys CIG? I can’t decide. Why not both. It's funniest if the lawsuit grumbles away in the background causing periodic idiot meltdowns, while CIG continues to limp along getting shoddier and more desperate as even the most invested whales faith begins to falter. I want it to survive long enough for everyone to see it for exactly what it is.

If I remember correctly, it was universally panned because the IDEA of a money grubbing multi national private corporate entity (CIG is such a beast now) was using Vet's day charity to piggy back for marketing exposure and ship sales Basically scummy of scummies Not even sure they were donating even the full tally, just a small % But I also don't care enough to check

This whole thing is just the Derek Smart show, all the funniest episodes feature him very prominently. Everyone else are just guest stars or extra's. Derek is Star Citizens Mr T, George Peppard may think he's still a star but no-one's watching the A-team for him. Derek's detractors are the henchmen getting gunned down with a cabbage firing cannon made out of a lawnmower and some drainpipe.

Well caught up with the thread! Been busy this past week with taking these three to doctors & vet: https://imgur.com/W8nvvQq So we have someone claiming they've seen Sq. 42 being played and they offered the hot tub space machine again only with a green paint job? And they had a new ship that actually looked cool while landing. The ships and all that looked good. The Music has been excellent, I've had a few moments in the 2.x days in the PTU. But the fact people who had purchased the merchant man back in 2014(?) still had no info on what it was supposed to look like anymore let alone an ETA on arrival? Plus things like the Gladiator rendered practically obsolete by the P-38 looking one that cost $125 more before there was even a game and capital ships going from a dozen crew members to three dozen...I mean getting a dozen people together and coordinated for an online game is doable. Not easy, but doable. But trying to organize 30 people in tasks beyond C&C, pilot, gunner, and marines? Really? My friends and I took a look at that and knew it was time to think about cashing out and waiting to see if CIG can ever pull it out. But there were some other things as I saw people on disability basically spending every spare dime they had on ships and such then complaining about not having money for other things in life. I've known two people who have died while waiting for the game. I one of the guys was in his late 70's. It was no surprise when he passed away. The other was only 34 and was shockingly sudden last year, and his death really took any wind left in the hype sails away. Honestly he was dealt a poo poo hand in life and was planning to use SC as a kind of escape after an allergic reaction to anesthesia for a routine surgery left him blind in one eye and kidney damage that required dialysis 3 times a week. That I could understand...kept his mind off pain and what not. But there were others who spent so much it led to divorces or law suits even when they spent $10k on star citizen instead of contributing to their kids' college fund as they were required to by custody agreements. Yeah $500 might sound like a lot, but I've spent well in excess of that for FSX, X-Plane, and DCS addons since 2013. I'm basically retired at this point other than looking after the little one and continuing the consulting work I do, especially since this year we went to cash rent on the farms. I'll go down in two weeks, sign the rental agreement, and collect a check. A check large enough that even if my wife decides she's had enough of the bullshit in the legal world we'd be able to pay our bills and be comfortable. May not eat out as much, but we're not doing that anyway these days. Star Citizen may end up being the end all, be all, but I have my doubts and I've had them for a while. Some of the things they "promised" never made sense like this whole mesh networking model. It could be innovative if they can pull it off, but so far they can't seem to implement features that are well understood and used by other games. Bind culling isn't exactly a new invention. If it is, hell I could swing buying that $5k pack of military ships or something....whichever that was...I don't remember anymore. And had CIG been making steady progress at least at the pace and competence of FDEV I probably would have spent that much. And FDEV has had their fair share of misteps and crap too.
