So like, In four years when this game comes out. Can I like buy it and play it? I mean I haven't been really keeping up with what this game is and all but I was under the impression that the video game was gonna be like, other video games where it like, totally comes out after they like, did all the work with like, the computers and stuff.

The only thing I like, know for sure is like, there is this mini-game you guys like, played and stuff where you like, give them all your money for like, things. So I was just wondering if like, I got this game down the road if I would like, not have any of the things you guys won in the mini games and like, start with nothing? Because that sounds more like, video game to me.

You will eventually be able to buy a copy of the game for a normal price that will let you play and have access to everything that anyone who's paid any amount of money now has through playing the game, with the exception of a limited few cosmetic things like some special ship skins or access to a special space nightclub.

Edit: And some backers will get the first expansion for free that you'd have to pay for as well.

They got scooped by The Escapist, they're probably sulking about it and/or don't want to send clicks their way.

Which is a shame really. Since Elite has the whole loving galaxy open for exploration, it seems like there would be space for any organization to exploit, and you wouldn't run into the problems of a player org owning everything of work. Just keep the current political setup but allow players to own systems outside the NPC territories, and then if people were worried about traveling in lawless/goon space they could...just not go there.

Goons would flock to dominate the space around Sag A, controlling the center of the galaxy.

Solo players wouldn't be able to affect player owned space either.. cause that kind of requires doing missions against players, not npc ships.

It's been 12 days since I submitted my refund request. Two more to go if CIG is holding true to their word.

This. And Kotaku had the same reports but ignored them, despite allegations of social justice friendly topics like Sexism, Racism, and Ageism. Why? Because Derek Smart would have to be acknowledged in the process-- and he is their mortal enemy in the Gamergate wars.

I'm glad it was Escapist. Hope they get more CIG folks talking, have physical evidence, and drop the gaming and crowdfunding story of the decade. And Stephen Tolito spends that time sulking because "we could've had the glory!"

Not Thin and Useful

Nevermind this has turned into a very long day.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When Chris was high
And kickstarters worth backing
I dreamed that ships would never fly
I dreamed that Sandi would be forgiving
Then I was stupid and had disposable income
And JPEGs were bought and pawned and refunded
There was no release date to be made
No towel unracked
No hangar unfilled

But the goons come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame

:sludgepal: Give me my dirty bits already Derek...
