Well yes, I can believe that there may be “technical” reasons why this is impossible. Please just tell me how to reconcile this with my unerring certainty that Chris Roberts is the savior of PC Gaming and building the world’s first quadruple A game. (Explanations involving magic will be entertained if sufficiently convincing...)

Mr.PayDay posted:The more months pass the more parts of the Cult wake up. You could recently read Annabell Boo Huxley‘s frustration that more and more criticism can be found in the general board instead of the concern subforum. The cult may be waking up to the criticisms that we have been spouting for years and stop following Chris on his statement, but they are still going to defend the game right to the end if it's still being attacked from us and anyone they have labeled "trolls" in the past. It's "defend your choice of buying a lovely product to your friends after they make fun of you for buying it" defense that's used to stop feeling buyer regrets.

At one point, I knew every mission inside out, which houses to destroy to get ammo etc. I played the game in a nearly meditative state, similar to how I basically know every Wolfenstein 3D level inside out and every Doom map. I remember knowing every viable configuration of Mechs in Mechwarrior 2 and 3, every default enemy location in Jagged Alliance, and playing tabletop 40k 2nd and 3rd ed without the need of a printed codex in front of me, because I had memorized all the stats. I played all the Jane's simulations on full sim, including 668i Hunter/Killer. My head consisted 100% of information nobody needs. Then something something happened, and now I am happy I remember how to boot up a PC and which way to the usb a thing goes (haha, of course not). Getting old sucks.

Also, don't forget that pesky Goons will be attacked by law enforcement when they try to grief upstanding Citizens. That is if the Citizens remember to pay the protection fee for their not-at-all-purchased-but-absolutely-homsteaded land and accompanying not-purchased-but-pledge-rewarded ground structures. This is good for Star Citizen and Rob Chrissert.

I tried to convey the subreddit wars that will eventually erupt over mutually exclusive backer expectations about the Homesteader Life / The Bomber Life... He did not seem to want to have the conversation right now. He may not have yet decided which camp is obviously in the right yet...

You goons are going to be grinding your teeth when I fly by in a ship with my 12 best friends and NPCs, off to deliver a crate from A to B. Oh, you're going to attack me? With what? The noob ship? You think a swarm of newbie ships can win? Heh. HEH.

MASSIVELYOP: MAKE MY MMO: STAR CITIZEN’S LEGATUS PACK OFFERS 117 SHIPS FOR $27,000 (MAY 26, 2018)Bree posted:This week in MMO crowdfunding, Star Citizen’s crowdfunding reached new heights as Cloud Imperium posted the Legatus pack, a huge bundle pack that runs $27,000. That seems ridiculous, but it also includes a ridiculously huge number of ships – 117, in fact, with 163 extras (things like beacons, modules, posters, and additional models). If you’ve already got that much skin in the game, it might be worth consolidating into this package. If you’re new, it might take more effort; forumgoers have posted that the pack is visible only to people who have already paid $1000, so you’ll need to contact CS and tell them you have a pile of money ready to go. With thanks to Cotic for the tip! Joe Blober is on turboshill overdrive in comments, fighting scam claims and  theories about money laundering.

Actually goons will never win because the groundbreaking Star Citizen SUBSUMPTION AI will have access to the full pledge records of all commandos and will inevitably punish those who weren't sufficiently supportive in bringing about its birth. Refundians might as well kill themselves now.

Though he does look like he has lost some weight since the infamous 'can't get off the couch' event.

I have several friends who are big time SC believers, and it’s clear that when this tanks, they will just say it was because it was too beautiful to live, too ambitious for small mortal minds. It’s sickening. They really think Roberts is revolutionizing game development. I mean he is, but not in a positive way.

I'm on board with the other thoughts that he's going to be looking for a new job soon He's probably trying to clean up his public facing image, and making it seem more like 'I tried my best!' versus 'I cultivated a poo poo community'
