They have run out of money and are asking for donations by selling ships for an MMO so they can finish a single player game that they can sell to have enough money to finish an MMO that they are selling ships for. I think that is right?

You know, the thing I don't quite understand is why these guys are so cult-like for something that looks so mediocre. At least be cool and awesome and amazing to look at so I can have SOMETHING to be a zealot about, but this is just so boring I fell asleep seeing the gameplay and the art style is so uninspiring. I could understand it if it was something that looked mind-bogglingly awesome even if it is smoke and mirrors but even EVE online looks more exciting in terms of moment to moment gameplay than this. Like if the guys who made metal gear or street fighter or heck even Sid Meier asked for dark apostles then they'd have a case since their games have something that I can hold onto. but this is like so blah.

He's not wrong. He left out that all those pieces looked like garbage that would have been laughed off stage at anything other than Roberts' personal con, but all those things were shown.

That's kind of what I meant, there certainly were things from a list represented but all of them at embarrassing levels of completion, like to where you'd expect even true believers to cock an eyebrow but apparently no everything is completely fine

The large world stuff isn't considered Arena Commander anymore--it's "Star Citizen" stuff in the same way the Social Module is. They've stated they will be incorporating a multi-crew mode for Arena Commander down the line after the large world playground is implemented for testing.

So what you're saying is they are not releasing an independent FPS module as they've been promising this entire year.

Isn't the whole point of a cult to brainwash people so they don't see the poo poo stains on the tapestry ?

If you have something cool and amazing to offer, you don't need a cult. Well unless you are Apple.

There will be game mode per holding company being used to shelter the siphoned blanaces out and away from the tendrils of the FTC and Companies House.

And what's worse is that the actual in game economics will be rudimentary buylow sellhigh pablum.

3 players fighting one or two NPCs at a time in a cramped station - and they don't even kill anyone in the FPS part. Totally worth $90 million, persistent universe alpha done, let's all have cake!

Bill Zabub is the one that originally had the idea for the iPhone. He tried to sell it to Blackberry, but they just laughed at him. So he gave it to Steve Jobs instead.

Technically, they were never going to release an independent FPS module, they were going to add an FPS arena into the existing game. Instead of only doing that, they are now also going to enable FPS gameplay in the open world testbed which will be put in at the same time.

oh they weren't going to release an FPS module that you downloaded separately from the other modules? So why were they promising that all year? I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this.
