I remain completely baffled at how the same audience that incessantly whines about "greedy devs" for every DLC pack or pre-order bonus thinks giving a developer thousands of bucks for in-game items that have yet to be made is a great idea.

People who think they are smarter than others are the easiest to scam.

Reminder to everyone that the Endeavor is going to be on sale next week and prices have been revealed:

- Base Endeavor (Standard Labs Attached) - $425
- Base Hope (Hospital Layout) - $450
- Base Endeavor (No Pods) - $350

450 max for the ship is a pretty good deal considering some people were expecting it to cost 600+ bucks.

450 bucks for concept art that may or may not come out in 2 years is a good deal.

This is the counter argument to "spending $450 on a space ship in a game that doesn't even exist and may not ever exist is crazy"?

this is like when stores mark their ship up way past average cost then do a sale where they mark everything down to just like 5% under average cost and idiots go 'OH poo poo what a DEAL this useless widget I don't need used to be $50 but now it's only $30! Better get it while I can!'

it's a poo poo deal, the fact that you were going to pay $600 and now you only gotta pay $450 doesn't mean anything other than you're getting ripped off for slightly less than you were about to throw in.

He literally said "Well, if I invest 11k into Star Citizen, I'll never have to leave the house, go on a vacation, or pay for any entertainment. Also I'll save on other items because Star Citizen will consume all my time and I won't have the time to shop. So in the long run, I'll actually make money out of the deal."

I'm old enough to remember the original Star Citizen. 20 years ago. It was called Battle Cruiser 3000AD, Chris Roberts didn't come up with this scam.

2 decades later and nothing has changed. Smart is still a moron who produces garbage games. Chris is still a visionary who's revolutionizing the space sim genre.
