People do weird loving things, like dump money into a game that'll only ever see the light of day as a jumbled Frankenstein of code.

Like I said before, there's a lot that can go wrong with lawsuits so getting hopes up is silly.
Not to mention that poo poo takes time, it's not going to be all over and done in a week or so. I'd except CIG's lawyers to use every method available to them to delay and prolong any legal action.

I wonder how much mileage you can really get out of the "how do we know the 94 million really all came from backers" concern. In the same vein, you could ask whether there really is 94 million at all. There's this kind of stuff: http://www.allchinatech.com/?p=360

Working under the assumption for now that misleading people that way is legal, what would be in it for them to overstate the funding? Easy way to increase confidence in the project and get people to buy base packages while they're seen as discounted preorders? Could make sense when they're ready to ramp up the celebrity-driven SQ42 promotion for AAA mass market (people who respond to celebrity-driven marketing). They'd get less from the people kicking in on the "help make the dream happen" angle. The amount coming in from people paying to start in better ships would be pretty much unchanged.

In reality, I'm guessing they wouldn't get into that in the first place because of the potential legal trouble with that level of fraud.

I don't think you can play Star Citizen alphas on a state-of-the-art Alienware computer with dual Nvidia 970s and a 6th gen i7 without getting visual tearing and bad texture pop-ins.

At least nearly 57% of them think CIG should either not make another game or don't think it should be crowdfunded.

Unlike what everybody was expecting Himmler turned out to be a cultured and polite gentleman, they talked at length about Star Citizen and not even once was the imperative to rid the world of jew rats get mentioned. Next week D_Smart will be talking at a NAMBLA convention, if he can mobilize even a fraction of all internet pedophiles to the cause then Chris Roberts is as good as done for.

I tried "racing" the m50 during some free weekend and after 30 seconds became absolutely 100% certain that the game was hosed and uninstalled.

Blampfing dumb RP nerds saluting each other in Arc Corps with the smart car is as good as SC is gonna get.

The tide is starting to turn in the RSI forums. the White Knights just don't have much ammo left, and as the critics get more vocal, and as the evidence builds in their favor, the dreamy-eyed space dorks are becoming ever more isolated and desperate.

gently caress me! You guys I just realized something: Star Citizen would be better in every way if it were a car combat MMOFPS instead of a space combat MMOFPS. You could still have it be a scifi setting, just have it be frontier worlds like in Borderlands. Have there be giant portals between planets you could drive through and fight for control over or some poo poo. All that flight model balance and controller scheme balance bullshit goes right out the window!

Jesus Christ you guys we need to get a Kickstarter up for a modern MMO version of Interstate '76 with integrated FPS. I'm not even joking I would back the poo poo out of such a game. Full loot PvP, real economy, raiding supply convoys of heavily armored 18-wheelers, motorcycle gangs you get the idea,.

Pleaes goons.

Agreed but it would actually have to be a game too.

God imagine if SC had any personality at all. It is so generic it is offensive to me as a person.

If I can't kick over some nerd's persistent sandcastle and gloat about it in a game it usually won't keep me hard very long. That's why I want an MMO with an economy like star citizen.

Don't be such a SJW they are charming hosts, such problematic subjects wouldn't be appropriate at that event, they're there to talk about Star Citizen exclusively.

How does molesting rate between cutting up their vaginas with a razor blade, shooting them for going to school or throwing acid in their face? We have to keep an open mind and carefully think these things through.

I will agree with this wholeheartedly. Though in my game it's an 'explosions' button.

Y'know, if Vox counts as a video game pioneer, I count as a VR game pioneer. Made a kinect style game out of an Amiga in the late 80s. Well, okay, helped do it, but still.

That sounds like the yang (key) to the poetry yin (key). You should have both in your game!

Your second point suddenly reminded me of something. Does anyone remember (this has to be mid 90s or earlier) the VIRTUAL REALITY websites? Like the url was different and if you put that into NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR or IE it would just straight load up the lovely virtual scene? This was also long before 2nd LIfe.
