Yeah, the thing is I think is that they have all spent so long on there that bit by bit the insanity has ramped up without them realising it and now they are all loving certified cuckoo twats sitting around high fiving each other because the loving website menus have changed and that obviously means 'huge things are about to happen'.
When you first come across the place as an outsider the insanity hits you in one huge lump like a fuckin tsunami of sheer weapons grade mentalness and they are oblivious to the point that if someone says 'hey maybe there are issues here' the fucknuggets are all over you with 'someone hasn't heard of early access :smug: '

On the flip side Rome wasn't built in a day so I dunno really maybe they have a point.

You won't be able to buy anything at all because the game will never exist, but even if does I'm going to laugh when you can buy a $500 ship after playing the game for 3 hours.

Yes, and everything a developer/CEO says is always completely true and they have never lied or manipulated their audience for money. Chris Roberts is especially trustworthy as everything he has said has come to pass and been on point. Deadlines have been met, and everything is progressing well.

Holy poo poo. That's loving pathetic. Even after 8-9 years on steam I've spent something like $1500, but that doesn't count sales, so its possible I've spent much less than that. You'd have to buy an unimaginable amount of games, and even if you spent like 5k you'd never be able to play them all.

They don't have the money to finish the game, and it's obvious what money they have left will be spent on frivolous things. How blind are you that you cannot see this? There will be no launch. There will be no game.

Here's to the new us.
Chris Roberts will announce RSI's bankruptcy via a demo of the FPS module. The demo will consist solely of a pretty sweet animation of your spaceman putting a gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger.

The demo will crash four times. The fifth time the crosshair will float off-screen causing your spaceman to shoot off his ear.

Reading that thread gives me an odd feeling. I thought it was the population of the forums itself that created the cult. Now I see it is enforced by moderators of the forums too.
