On Why Redditors Just Don't Get It - A primer to any redditor considering buying an SA account for spying





Look you mongs since you evidently read this thread let me try to explain this to you... SA is like a wolf dog mutt pack and when you're running with the pack you will occasionally get a playful bite. It's to be expected, it's a bonding thing, in order to fit in you have to take any such nibbling it in the spirit it was made. You people overthink everything, sometimes a funny pic is a funny pic, you start foaming at the mouth in outrage and then get all surprised when the whole pack turns on you in the blink of an eye. It's how we can always tell you fuckers a mile away, you keep bringing attention to the stuff that pushes your buttons, to you everything is serious business and you can't help but getting all butthurt over the dumbest poo poo.

TL;DR: He can take a joke but I'd love if your precious Messiah or his wife dropped by one day, see if they could deal with teasing in an adult manner. From what I've seen so far I doubt it.

I think it's you that doesn't get it, the gang all posting on rsi in the same thread (Karl & Roadbeer), in r/dereksmart in the same threads and in their twitter club perfectly understand SA.

Somethingawful, it's all fun and games until someone asks you to dance.

It not coming out would just be blamed on Derek or SA or some other boogeyman and croberts will just be the savior of couldawouldashoulda, it would be funnier if they just shove out a buggy piece of poo poo that rates a 30 on metacritic.

With CIG firing almost everyone in Austin, will more ex-employees speak out? I hope so.

So how should CIG go back and show real appreciation to the first 250,000 Original/Veteran Backers? posted:

This is not a troll thread and this is not a joke. This is a request that CIG and the rest of us show some proper respect and take responsibility for showing such apathy towards the Original and Veteran Backers efforts. Sorry if this comes across as hostile but the attitude that the first 250,000 or so Original and Veteran Backers should accept being given so little for doing so much is just Bullshit. They are the reason why we, the 750,000+, are even able to pledge and become backers. They are the reason we are all able to celebrate these milestones. I seriously do not think they have been shown any real appreciation when we give everyone a trophy for not being believers early on. It really doesn't matter if you didn't hear about Star Citizen until just recently. The fact is they are the ones that got us here and more and more as time goes on something changes that says they were played. I get it, the rest of us are backers as well. But if you took a tally on how many of us can say that we are truly responsible for getting the game to $6 million, let alone $21 million, $50 million, or even $90 million we are piss poor of character to think that just because they got a handful of minor stretch goal rewards they were rewarded enough. That is a cowardly attitude to have and it shows a complete lack of integrity on our part.

You remove the $6 million from the Original Backers on Kickstarter and we have nothing. You remove the following $15 million from the Veteran Backers and You have nothing. Without them the rest of us 750,000 are sitting around like idiots waiting for the next DLC for another poo poo game and wondering why we are paying for that DLC when it was supposed to be in the original game in the first place.

Either the stretch goal rewards the OBs and VBs got need to be enhanced or CIG need to go back and come up with something real for them. Disrespecting them and saying that they are no special snowflakes, when we didn't lift a finger and let them shoulder all the weight if totally hosed up. As regular backers the reward we got was that there is a game to pledge for in the first place and that we may still be paying less that people who come on after release. Giving out much of the things the OBs/VBs got to the rest of us says that their faith and dedication to the campaign meant nothing. Why are we all ok with that? The $10 in UECs they may get per package is not enough and we know it. They are better than that. Not acknowledging that means we are not.

We hit a major milestone getting to 1,000,000 Citizens and we were all happy and excited for the two members that got free Sabers. I have yet to see or hear of any of those OBs and VBs getting $170 or anything and they are the very reason those two Citizens got those ships or that those ships even exist. They are the reason we hit 1,000,000 citizens and also the reason we will soon be able to hit $100,000,000 in crowdfunding.

Yeah okay I get it, they are nothing special but we sure are because we are the many that outweighs the few.


NOTE: I really appreciate the civil responses, even the ones that disagree with what I'm saying here. To those being evil and toxic do not post if you can't answer in an intelligent manner.


Three questions to ask:

1. How many people do you think would have backed Star Citizen to $6 million and later $21 million if CIG said during the Kickstarter that all Backers will get is the game for free at release?

2. If people feel that the 250,000 were so insignificant ask yourself where the game would be if those 250,000 weren't there and just never signed on.

3. Where were the remaining 750,000 when they were needed, and would they have backed Star Citizen if they were told they were getting nothing but the game at launch?
