Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

Correct. It would be a part of any financial package for either a loan or investment.

OK, this is going to be one of those kinda weeks. Even the BBC and The Sun UK have picked this up now.

Make enough noise and you might get picked up for a BBC interview, Derek!

They sold some in 2014:

Ahhh, but this requires them to actually physically produce and make the models. I meant virtual models that you can hang inside your virtual spaceship.

Also, I love that this is from 4 years ago, back when optimism and hope still remained for this thing.

Adding to our previous discussion, $27K outlays start getting you into the territory where individual arbitration becomes worthwhile.

Agreed. Even at $10K it makes it worthwhile since arb filing only costs about $1K I believe.

Oh boy, Fortune

Fortune reached out to Roberts Space Industries, Star Citizen’s developer, for comment, but did not receive an immediate response

Then Motherboard…

Roberts Space Industries did not return our request for comment

Seriously, if I crazy enough to be into conspiracy theories, I’d say that CIG purposefully did this $27K bs in order to deflect from the BIG news that playing out and soon be public.

Two weeks have passed, so I guess we’re at a month tops! Now ;)

LOL! It’s always 2 weeks + 1, man. Get with the program :)

But seriously, I’m just as frustrated. Right now I’m waiting for my attorney to get back to me about what I can or cannot release without getting a visit from the FBI because no doubt in his mind that CIG will file a police report for my having data which appears to be priviledged and which came from a third-party source. They won’t care that I’m a blogger, and will have no problem accusing me of some vast conspiracy. Right or wrong, I tend to err on the side of caution - even when people send me crap. Lawsuits aren’t fun, regardless of who is right or wrong.

In other Star Citizen news which can only be described by tilting your head back and laughing out loud, those clowns came up with this graphic to explain the bs with the project.

Backer version on Reddit

Goon advanced realistic version

He has me blocked, but this is one of Star Citizen’s most prominent whales (and he loves to show off and tell everyone about it. Status thing, you see).

He’s a bit “off”, if you know what I mean.

All are ships.

Bright fellow.

Will it be in the Mueller report?

Close enough (latest rant)

I think this ‘attachment’ analysis is flawed as he focuses too much on the money from the backer pov. The supporters do not care about the money. It is more the ideal, the dream…There is a much deeper emotional and psychological investment. Emotions run high because this is challenged and they don’t like that…

In general for the backer, it is not about the money or how the tires will touch the road. And for the "anti-backer’, it is all about the money (and the practicality), which is why there is such a sensational clash between the two. I think people by-and-large do not look at crowd funding as a high potential return thing as far as money goes…but they do like to dream at times. (Edit: fixed error’d double negative)

in regards to a statement made in the video, didn’t CIG already have $2m in backers before the Kickstarter?..he made it sound like it did not exist before that. the KS was when it took off on it’s astronomical cash venture.

LOL!!

It’s almost like they’re trying to go to jail, at this point
