Ok. So assuming Chris R/CIG really have wasted nearly 90 million on hookers and blow, what's the fallout? Not just for the cult but for the gaming landscape in general and perhaps more specifically, Roberts and those devs? Does Roberts turn so toxic that he's run out of the industry? Do crowdfunded games lose a lot of luster or does Star Citizen just become another cautionary tale of feature creep and ego?

If you mean the crowfunding money and not Croberts personal cash then that is impossible because company money and personal money are very very different things from a legal perspective. How does an adult even think something like that could happen?

quote:To be frank, it’s a lot more sexy to print and talk about, “Hey! Did you see this game that raised $90M and how they’re STEALING over a million people?! How crazy!” rather than, “Hey! Did you see this game that raised $90M and they’re on-time and on-budget?” It’s just not sexy, it doesn’t generate clicks. This one is just incoherent. I do like that no fantasy is too fantastical to be repeated as reality though. There are many things about Star Citizen and this whole foofarah that we don't know. The one thing we do know is it isn't running on time.

I would say that the whole thing would reveal that Kickstarter games are huge risks that over promise, under deliver, and are generally dumb. However I think that anyone who isn't a retard should have realized that already, so I guess the real takeaway will just be a lesson about feature creep.

According to noted lunatic Derek Smart it'll destroy Crowdsourcing as we know it. But thats not going to happen, Kickstarter has already passed its honeymoon phase, it might burn a few people but most people are going to continue to kickstart things they want to kickstart and buy other things when they're out.

It's definitely going to do a lot of damage to crowdfunding as a concept; I think we're already seeing a lot more skepticism with Kickstartered projects than we traditionally have, as more people realize that giving crazy visionary types all the dollars with zero oversight is a really disastrous idea. C. Roberts will pretty much never be trusted with money again and almost certainly will never be involved in another videogame.

Well it's a "private company", and while i'm no big space court lawyer, I doubt any judge is going to not split up the cash. Regrardless of the iou jpgs that have been sold. He was supposed to be done collecting at 65m anyway.

Despite ostensibly being anti-drama. Their problem is even people saying "I've backed $2300 and I'm just a tiny bit concerned about how efficiently our money is being spent" gets downvoted a hundred times until they're invisible, meanwhile people hawking ship JPEGs are posting glowing screeds about the coming glory and swimming in internet points.

If I've learned anything following vaporware games since the late 90's it's that gamers as a whole are the stupidest loving idiot gullible retards on the face of the planet and learn nothing from past experiences so basically, nothing really except it will be kind of an in-joke to compare future projects to star citizen to the the epic scale of failure. Considering CR has had years to sock away money and protect himself legally I doubt he'll come out of this worse for wear.

at some point CR will transition and start saying that star citizen will be the funding platform for his actual aerospace ventures, offering low orbit flights in 2019 and then the real culting begins, as level 420 citizens are the only ones aware of the TRUTH... that their low orbit flights will collide with specific sattelites which will send them to alien heaven. wouldn't this make them tax-exempt and crowd-funded? l ron, roll in your grave...

Also here is the thing, DickWulf went around showing off his own screenshot of his OWN inbox to prove his "innocence." So you could say Wulf has effectively hosed himself here since before he came around showing people this pic we had no visual proof since my friend WTF deleted it out of her inbox right away. Lets compare pictures here. If this had been my friends inbox she wouldn't be listed as the recipient on the right hand icon or in the to field.

Moreover what I really hope is that it's another brick in the wall for the whale-hunter style of upsell in gaming. Sure, there are people who are natural whales in f2p games because they're so rich that $10k is like $60 to me. Fine. But for any average person, which a lot of star citizen backers are, that isn't the case. People need exposure to build up an immunity. Star Citizen was a new infection vector, the pay2win of the imagination. I'm kinda glad that part is gonna be associated with a disaster.

It makes me sorta frown and smile in disbelief when I remember my girlfriend's dad has played like 300 hours of Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen still doesn't have a proper fly spaceships gameplay model. Whats the verdict on E:D? Obviously these Redditors tell me its the worst game ever, a ripoff of SC and the devil and everyone regrets backing it instead of SC.

My buddy who was initially interested in Star Citizen until I told him about cargo commander and such is currently shouting E:D's praise to the moon whenever I speak to him. He really wants me to hop in and play. Maybe it's time to get a HOTAS....
