The primary criticism of these guys is they’re ripping off their dedicated supporters while frittering away their money on obscene scope expansion and undisciplined development. So, yeah. Obviously they shouldn’t do these things, but they don’t give a shit about that.
I think people buy into this kinda knowing, to own a piece of something potentially awesome, lets just say humanity has done worse, wayyyy worse…
Good point. It’s definitely nowhere near as bad as the Khmer Rouge.
Or world war 1…or whatever cool pyramid scam is going on now, or the odds to win the patron competitions
If people don’t want their money going to the fancy video updates, they can stop buying community subscriptions.
Well the whining in this thread is surely worth its own thread soon, with appropriate name…
haha, great GIF that is.
And sad.
That gif is awesome, I just laughed out loud and got funny looks from my coworkers. I love this thread, can’t miss an update. I don’t even watch Game of Thrones anymore, this gets me all the intrigue I need.

An excuse for more snarky posts to come? Pretty much everything is.
Right, so it’s just the first person outside of CIG to land on a moon. I thought it may be something new, related to the first look at a proper full planet in action!
The headline makes it sound more exciting than it is! ;)
That’s true of almost everything about Star Citizen marketing. “Never done before!”, even when it has in fact been done before.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yesterday’s ATV “burndown” was a hoot-ridden catastrophe
Those stats are from yesterday’s “burndown” broadcast. It’s as bad as it looks. It’s hilarious that this was a build that Chris said was due out in Dec 2016. If this comes out before CitizenCon (Oct) it will be a miracle. Especially since sources from 2 studios tell me that it’s virtually UNPLAYABLE right now due to SERIOUS blockers & major performance issues.
As someone pointed out (though not quite accurate, since some bugs will take more/less time to fix than others)
Well, not all bugs are created equal, obviously. That being said, it’s usually towards the end when things slow down as the last few complex our difficult to track down bugs are all that’s left.
Yup. Which is why they’re between a rock and a hard place when it comes to this build because they’ve hyped it beyond proportions. Anything short of near perfection, is going to be a major blunder.
I’m sure all will be forgiven or forgotten once the next jpeg comes out!
