So the counter of 21 hours or whatever overwrites the "released" text.

Is that actual in game hours? 21 hours in one of those screenshots?

Holy poo poo, apart from the crazies, that's not going to go down well with most. It will just encourage AFK gaming and outright ragequitting in some cases.

I can imagine what the crazies are saying though "This is great, i'll spend my time in prison making contact with other criminals where we will plan our next adventure upon release"

If you mine, can you build up enough merits so that you have a life of crime?

Don't worry, there is but a single prison layout and the steps to escape are already known, you just have to follow them and ta-dah! you're free (in reality the game bugs out but whatever). So you do the space crime, get sent to space prison, do the space escape, and repeat.

Everything is well planned.

If I'd spent 500 bucks for a space game and within a half hour of playing found myself in a prison because I'd hovered over the wrong pad or taken the wrong generic mission text, and the timer said 21 hours to release, I would never discover the secret escape route because I'd have quit so loving fast there would be a smoking crater in my SSD where the game used to be.

But in all seriousness it'll be fun to read the reddit after this pile of poo poo is dumped on them. They are always talking about fidelity this and fidelity that and how it is truly indispensable for space travel to take a shitload of time because my immersion and the economy and all that crap. And yet, in the same game, when you don't yield properly at the space highway and the space cops catch your rear end (there is no way to avoid them) they just teleport your immersive rear end into a goddamn prison a few billion km away in planet bunghole. It'll be fun to hear logicalchimp or any of the other shills explain how this was always planned and so on.

The fidelity of 21 hour prison sentences for murder in the first degree.

Who would have known spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a video game was a bad idea???

If only there was people out there that warned them!

When CIG denies your refunds and your family goes hungry or worse, just know that Chris Roberts' Porsche and mansion is safe, and no doubt your money is helping to fund his next Morocco vacation aboard a yacht so he can be safe from the virus that threatens you.

Looking back at the Beanie Baby bubble

quote:

Claudia Dunne, one of the early experts, wrote at the time, “Attending Beanie shows around the country, I see the panic in people’s eyes, and I want to say, ‘Relax, Beanies are here to stay’”. Jessica Benuzzi, a staff writer for Mary Beth’s Bean Bag World Monthly [circulation at peak, 650,000!], explained that low interest rates would continue to drive Beanie sales. Brian Devany, a beanie dealer, wrote that “the Beanie market has consistently bucked the odds, and evidence of this continues as 1998 nears a close. The demand in the market for current and retired Beanies almost exceeds supply, making a mockery of those calling the Beanie phenomenon a fad”.
