I wonder what CIG's legal team is doing to prepare for the impending lawsuit and I wonder how much money from backers it is costing to have them do it.

You must have missed yesterday where BettyBigTits scammed some shitizens out of their fake spaceships for a game that doesn't even exist.

Actually it was BettysBigTits, as in the big tits of Betty not Betty herself get it right please.

Also Betty is a real woman and reddit user and not the most obvious troll account of all time.

Stuff like this just screams scam so loud - there's no world where any video game, no matter how good, will generate a thread like that without it being a scam. It simply isn't possible for this situation to happen without the people behind the video game willingly ripping people off.

Wow, an entire three (3) file formats!

I'm glad he put them in that easy to read list, although I'm still having a little trouble parsing such a dense source of information. Perhaps some kind of database would be in order? (with charges for every search, obviously. Lord knows you can't just search a database willy nilly, you have to pay a cook to fry all the hashes or something).

Not only will it be in space but each space is the equivalent to 3 Elder Scrolls Online maps.

Multiply that by unlimited space by the 7 years it took to make ESO and you can see why Star Citizen is actually making great progress.

yes but you have to buy access to the Space module, and furthermore the space module has been delayed indefinitely but delayed indefinitely only means two weeks.

Wish I could huff and puff and act all important for the sake of my ego, I'm not THAT heavily invested within the company.

Currently playing "Where In The World Is Ortwin Sandiego?" Still missing the loot.

Also in celebration of a red herring, I had Swedish meatballs for lunch Friday.

I wish you'd just given me that money instead.
