on one hand, ostracizing people for who they associate with and which games they play is reprehensible

on the other, from the outside in, the people who play EVE seem to be the absolute worst, particularly goons

drat near every goon I met who was chiefly associated with EVE before other things was kind of a piece of poo poo

on the other hand a lot of people became goons because of eve.. semi malicious fun is a bit enticing.

Weren't people on SC forums, Reddit, & even in this thread, saying you weren't buying anything but instead the price point was to help back the project and you got the ships as a bonus? Like, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that the line for the past few years.

Except when you go and buy a "Game Package" it says that you are buying ship X,Y and Z along with a list of other crap a total of 0 of them say you are donating to the game and as a bonus you get a ship.

you're right, I'm having fun with how the game plays right now. It's what I wanted.
If you guys want to keep being butthurt because it takes a long time to add more then that's your problem
i'll be over here having fun while you cry into your pillow about how this game is so horrible and a scam for not being instantly released as the best game in history.

What bothers me the most is the RSI logo affixed to the wall. If it were me, I wouldn't be spending other people's money on window dressings while I have yet to release a working product. Small things like this speak to the bigger picture and lend a lot of credence to the allegations of irresponsible spending.
Lol that they appear have climate control in their building, what a waste of money. They should be working out of a doublewide.

Don't bother asking RSI for a refund, go straight to your bank and start the charge-back process.

edit: if doing a charge-back first requires you to exhaust your options with the vendor, do the bare minimum.

Get up, chief. We're just gettin' started.

Anyone who had trouble getting into Elite Dangerous should check out Giant Bomb's Quick Look of the game. I didn't even watch the whole thing and I still picked up enough about how to take off, land, fly around, etc. without having to bother with the tutorials.

G0RF posted:

One thing I do know. A year from now, Elite will be a better game. There's a quiet comfort in knowing that, one which Star Citizen fans may never really know.
And of course right now it's a perfectly fine clone of Privateer, but without a story or unique places to land. So it's pretty all right to fire up every now and then and shoot some space rats.
