Even if this is a $20M loan, aren't they still burning something like $4-5M a month? Factor in that GamesCon and CitizenCon cost them money and they're probably going into mega-crunch time from now until the end of the year in a frantic attempt to show something, ANYTHING that looks like progress...

I still think this is to make things look "normal" until the final December cash grab, then it all folds by March.

Watching the shitizens try to justify what is very obviously a desperate act from a company that's on the verge of failure is incredible. It suggests that when cig finally implodes we'll be in for some truly hilarious reasoning about why it's actually a good thing from the most brain damaged fans.

I think you'll find that those people were actually talking about the content of the 3.x patches and were simply choosing a reminder time around when it was supposed to be released. You have now outed yourself as a liar and a coward who is incapable of having an honest discussion about the game.

Do you often get upset posting in the super serious star citizen thread? On a scale of 1 to 10 how worried are you that the game will be good?

Omg. You just don't understand fire-fighting.

(Actually, I suspect you do and just use that image to convey an apparent dissonance between image elements. It's just a bit unfair to the fire-fighting profession in general to use this image. They're just having a good time and who seemingly have very good control over the fire they set because like all fire fighters, they're actually pyromaniacs at heart — just very responsible and professional ones. This makes them in every way unsuited for any kind of comparison with CIG).

My bad.

Wasn't $2,200 - was $2,800 *sigh*

All in all, it amounted to £2,200 which is about $2,800.

£1,500 for the pledge "Be a Jameson", the rest in supporting a novel and a crapton of merchandise.

I did get hundreds of hours of good times out of it though, so money's not completely wasted.

I wanted to support the game of my dreams, but it deviated too far from what I imagined, and ended up feeling too empty, grindy and shallow for my tastes.

This comment I agree with on so many levels. It's why I'm always confused by the endless wave of survival games that have multiple, asinine bars that you have to track in a game. Having to manage meals, water, and sleep while using some esoteric crafting system just drags down the game. I never understood the appeal, like I loved No Man's Sky style, sound, and look, but the survival bits and inventory management is so off putting. Must be a space sim thing.
