Christ, and for a short while, I actually thought this game might be coming out. Thanks for enlightening me, goons. I feel like I've gotten hundreds of dollars of entertainment out of Star Citizen for absolutely free!

Next real milestone would be $200 Million, but I don't think we can hit that before the game finally launches.

How is throwing $150m at a yet to be released space game an "accomplishment?"

I got lost in the middle of nowhere in Elite Dangerous and totally unsure of what to do next about a year ago so of course I'm reinstalling it and upgrading to Horizons now that I have an Oculus Rift. So I guess Frontier suckered another fool out of his money.

I think Chris Roberts saw all of the real-money investment in EVE (like thousands of dollars for a ship) and saw a way for him to cash in. And it's just so sad at this point. The community and CCP's hands-off approach made that game into what it is today, and to try and force that same outcome now is just goddamn embarrassing.

I hope Star Citizen comes with a barf bag to deal with how poorly their VR support is going to be implemented.

edit: I've been playing a lot of Star Wars Mod for X3:AP, which is some guy slapping Star Wars into X3. It's good.

Imagine if they actually scaled the scope of their project and made incremental releases that resulted in an actual franchise that came together into the final MMO.

I mean, poo poo. Titanfall 2 has a singe player campaign which is pretty drat good after a multiplayer only shooter that was pretty fantastic, and the sequel has an even better multiplayer. Not too hard to find a match either.

I just don't get why they didn't try to focus their scope on a gradual scale.

Did Star Citizen ever mention romance scenes or loving mechanics? Are they just letting people write whatever lore they want for this game? Was the Sandi mocap .gif an indicator that she's playing a romance option in the game?

Hello backers. Chris here, I have some exciting news! Thanks to outside financing, and due to recent developments, we are refactoring the scope of the much awaited Squadron 42 - and incorporating it directly into your Star Citizen experience!

Unfortunately, due to the realities of the recent referendum, we have been forced to scale down our initial scope and are proud to announce our upcoming release of British Citizen, a brand new MMO experience set to release this fall!

Experience the wonder of strolling around the interior of authentic London steel hangars as A-list actors like Gillian Anderson, Mark Hamill, and Gary Oldman tell you about the adventures in space you could have been having! Loiter around the infinite gallery of concept art JPEGs! Discover the adventure of clipping into the geometry of ships you paid thousands of real dollars for! Finally, you and other players can meet and roleplay the experience of bragging about your latest adventures* Across the Verse!

*Adventures not included with final product and CIG accepts zero liability for entitled backers' impossible expectations for Ferarris when given Ford Pintos.

So can the bank be like "put whatever you have into a functional game and gently caress off forever" at this point? Can they give CIG the boot and try and get another studio to finish the game so they can recoup their loan? Are Amazon and Intel in any place to do anything about this?

Aren't they rolling SQ42 into the larger MMO? Are they relying on the confusion between the two in an attempt to get one over on the bank? Is Chris Roberts that cocky with his own IP?

But you see CIG is owned by Chris Roberts and Coutts would give them 0% just to have their name attached to trillion dollar global IP Star Citizen.

He walked into the conference room and dropped a bunch of concept JPEGs on the table. They had no choice but to fork over everything to Chris, who could resist the infinite possibilities across the verse?

She was fearless, and crazier than him. She was his queen, and god help anyone who dared to disrespect his queen.
