There was a lot of that but it's pretty tone deaf to not predict the UN level cluster gently caress that will result. Surprisingly, not everyone is from the US and the obvious solution of just not buying during the sale wasn't an option as the item was limited edition and in-stock.

Probably the birth of the "snowflake" term internally at CIG.

It was especially cool since it was two degenerate motives conflicting.

The "i hate america/how dare they give money to wounded veterans" motive and the "i HAVE to have EVERYTHING in STAR CITIZEN" one.

The beautiful thing about Citizen conspiracy theories is that the more you say “dude you’re being insane” the more they believe you must be hiding something.

If you are unfortunate and have a condition like adhd, or add, your thought are fragmentary, distorted easily, you also have to deal with *parp* happening on a fairly regular basis, but under that, something more insidious happens, you learn to normalise failure,
essentially; those involved with sc are suffering from "learned helplessness"
the bittersweet thing is : adhd effects can be minimalised with medication, SC sufferers have no such choice.

I take it you're not talking about the 1998 space ship game Hardwar, where you had to escape Titan by earning enough money, or something like that?

Yeah I think that's the one. I never really played it, but back in the day I remember it being popular and sort of like this newer thing that I also haven't played. So take my experience as solid gold here. :)

More stuff to sell.

quote:

“Since players often won't be in proximity to their property, they'll frequently want to purchase various forms of remote monitoring and security apparatus - cameras and other equipment that can broadcast important information to them, members of their organisation, or UEE security, or automated drones that can automatically engage trespassers. The Service Beacon will also play a role here, as it will allow players to hire other NPCs and players to safeguard their assets.”

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

But that's not true either. Plenty of magazines (german and US based) have gone to their studios and have seen similar. I'm not bound by journalistic standards, so I care less about an NDA. My username here is unique so they interns that are watching don't have a clue. Other backers can absolutely go and visit, although when you've dropped concierge-level moneys, they're more likely to grant you a visit than others.

I should point out game magazines aren't bound by journalistic standards either, so your argument is just hot air :lol:

The idea of CIG inviting "journalists", only to make them sign NDAs to not tell anyone is also pretty unique. But probably not in the way you intended


Edit:

I take it back, I could see CIG trying something godawfully stupid and pointless like this :lol: :lol:

:): I think it'll probably come around when we have the new health mechanics because they've been talking about new health yeah this is not happening this year but they've been talking about it in in the near future so that's happening for beta and if they really do want to push beta out sometime next year or 2020 which is what they seem to be implying heavily
