But if you think about it, joke's on you.

drat, I just looked around my office and realized I don't have a picture of a videogame on any of my walls. I think you might be right.

That statement is just rubbish and no idea why citizens cling to it.

It should be: A delayed game might be eventually good or it might be bad, a rushed game can be bad, but it can be good.

The reality of the situation with SC is, its not rushed, its positively crawling along, and its still bad. At some point in the future, there might be a good game come out of this, but that remains to be seen.

What you'll notice if you hang out for a while is that most of the ships now sell for basically the same price as the store. It used to be way higher, but CIG sells and sells and sells so hard that they have undercut any profiteering in that realm. So the best you can do is buy at a lower rate, sell at the store rate. The grey marketers don't give a poo poo, remember they're just middlemanning for some other guy, he takes a loss and they get their 10% or whatever.

The only money left to be made is in the actual rare poo poo- either first runs of stuff, or stuff they will never sell directly again like the Idris-M. You will still see substantial markups on those.

Hence the two tier approach of a lower priced item for everyone, and the limited edition hull for the speculator. I wonder how many of the Kraken were actually comped?

That grey market is the key to everything, as it's one of the few viable ways that you _could_ launder cash through this.

It makes me happy that CIG has figured out that it can treat all of its customers like total poo poo and they will still queue up to be the first to buy a 1400 dollar jpeg. I want them to see how far they can push it, maybe in a couple years they can address the letters from the chairbear like "Hey stupid rear end with too much money,"

Really?

There are PLENTY of valid issues and criticisms of Star Citizen. Anyone thinking otherwise is a loving mororn.

here are some from a loving supporter:

1.) performance still sucks
2.) You still fall thru the drat floors of ships.
3.) Weapons are totally unbalanced, some just don't work at all (missiles & torpedoes for example)
4.) Ships still are unbalanced and do not provide a Level of depth between airframes (meaning currently playing a heavy ship is like playing a light fighter still). Yes this is getting better but its not all there.
5.) Very limited exploration. We have what, three moons and some asteroids? Uh... yeah...
6.) Q-drive is loving broken. Why the gently caress do we keep getting dumped out at the same drat place regardless of where we enter Q-drive.
7.) Where are the Jump Points? Oh yeah, see option 6.
8.) Missions are loving broken. Some badly

I wouldn't be surprised if he got told to deal with it and is trying to couch the terms of his response with "don't do this over twitter" so he doesn't get told to deal with it again. After all, if it's not on Spectrum the community team can't bury or remove it.

Don't fret, my dude. This is the same old routine that happens after every Citizencon - from now until like February, every 10th thread on /r/starcitizen is going to be a naked attempt to rally the troops and subtly diminish all criticism based on progress shown. It's like the world's lamest team-building exercise.
