Hmm, like what Tarka? Stand around saluting other commandos? Or maybe doing the same fetch quest over and over again between crashes? Or maybe waiting for their ship to respawn?

In the absence of gameplay, making your own fun seems completely valid.

You could always call it emergent gameplay. Isn't that what Chris was aiming for? How dare Tarka go against Chris's vision.

We don't like to use the word 'website' any more, our preferred phrasing is 'online promotional vehicle'

'Ship sale on our website' becomes 'promotional pledge on our online promotional vehicle'

There will be promotional opportunities to pledge money on our online promotional vehicle, at no point are you buying anything. This is how it has always been. When I count backwards from ten you will awaken and Star Citizen will be good.

Star Citizen has always been good.

Pledge more.

Remember to floss.

Happier.

These guys are masters at revisionist history. Bar none.

It all started because the guy (a Star Citizen backer) was mad about a meme (which Daz made) that I posted. He wanted me to "correct" it. Seriously, it was hilarious. Here's the
thread.

I'm not upset about that (aggravating people in this thread) at all. Those who I deem to be thus - because they keep attacking me for sport, and because it makes them feel good about their hard-ons - are safely quarantined behind a "Jerk Detected" filter.

What's annoying is someone telling me how I chose to run my feed. The arrogance is startling. I mean, seriously.

Simple, really. Don't post your loving feed in this thread; leave it for Twitter.

Pretty sure most people have even made their own ridiculously massive ships in games like Space engineers and Empyrion that dwarf anything CIG has "built"?

Space engineers youtube vids in particular show some friggin humongous flyable ships that also contain a vast array of ships systems and other overly complicated doodads.

Here's one example of how they grow Twitter, Twitch and YouTube followers using free ships given to them by CIG:


https://gleam.io/kMGZf/tctg-cutlass-black-giveaway-for-reaching-200-followers-on-twitch

Now if you read the text you'll see that the free ship doesn't include the game, oh no, you still have to buy at least a $45 starter package OR you can sell it on the store for $100 credit. Now you spend the $100 credit on a starter ship and a few upgrades and BAM! $100 added to the funding tracker.

They're all at it, they're using the free ships to grow their channels, subscribers and donations, and the store credit generated by the free ships kicks into the funding tracker.

QED.

Careful observers will notice that the Cutlass giveaway (with LTI) is hosted on Gleam. I bet a few people know already what Gleam is and what they do, I'd be willing to bet Streetroller knows.




It's all paid for, it's all managed, it's all fake, it's all bullshit. There is no organic word of mouth promotion of Star Citizen with the exception of a few outliers who I suspect want to get on the inside track.

Yeah CIG and CD Project Red are basically the same. CD Project released Witcher 3, one of the most critically acclaimed and arguably one of the best games ever and... wait, what epic title has CIG released again?
