Wow, what a blatant cash grab. Here's this loving sweet virtual lounge bro that only a few people can get into right now. BUT HOLD ON. WHAT ABOUT ME YOU SAY? For the low low bargain basement price of 1000$ american dollars, YOU TOO can be a lonely fat nerd hanging out in a virtual lounge that will never actually be released!

Already sold out for today. After seeing all of nothing for 3 hours HOW can ppl still be buying-in?

Sounds like a cheap way to pad your referral count.

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

The look in Roberts' eyes, he looks like he wants to kill himself.

It really does look lovely. Then you remember at this is gated behind 1000$ of purchases. And that they have shown more of this than they have any other gameplay.

It also begs the question, is this only available to those who "pledge" $1000 during development or is CIG going to let people buy $1000 worth of ships after the game is released? And if that is the case how can anyone make the argument this won't be p2w?

It's just such a blatent cash grab at this point.

Is it me or does the Idris look more and more like a Homeworld ship? The fat gun in the front is very much from that philosophy...

Somehow, the funding for the last three hours is on an exponential trend again. Mother of god, has no one been watching the stream? I had so little hope in humanity, but this just takes the cake. And I'm French and just dealt with the attacks in Paris.

It is actually a fully complete and operational Idris masquerading as a slideshow. They are ambush ships.

Limited release 2.0 to the PTU only for the most loyal. Well, that's more than I expected. Sure could have SHOWN SOME loving VIDEO OF THE GAME during your three hour anniversary stream!

They have only had 22 people testing the PTU? That's ridiculous, there's no way they could have done comprehensive QA testing on what is a mini demo of an MMO-alike game.

I'm mystified. They have it in a place where they'd let people play it but they didn't show a single video all day.

This is actually pretty good strategy in making sure the first people playing it will be True Believers.

I actually love the ideas and work that go into game enviroments so this should be right up my street, but I can't help but feel that this is all wasted time for a spaceship game.

I feel for the poor bastards that worked for CCP churning out content for the WoD MMO. Some of that stuff was actually lovely.

Some of these kids should dump games and try some kickstarted product design.

8 of one type of mission, 8 of another type of mission, a pvp station, three different space station, 16-18 ships. All that is coming in the next week.

And they showed exactly none of it.
