IDK man maybe it's the irresponsible number of belgian quad's I've been mashing, but look. This is all hilarious on a certain level. But at the core, this is a fraudulent enterprise being run by a delusional egomaniac who has only one purpose: To be lauded as important by the Hollywood establishment. He's literally exploiting the mental deficiencies of lonely and mentally handicapped people whose programming or circumstance disallows them the chance to find a peaceful place in this world. His bitch wife is exploiting HIS mental deficiencies for her own delusions. No one at CIG will EVER do ANYTHING of any positive contribution to this world, beyond delaying the suicide of the clinically depressed.

The entire Star Citizen endeavor is a giant melting pot of failed miscreants. This whole scene is a microcosm which perfectly frames, in 3 acts, the failure of Western capital culture in its entirety. ONE of those loving "ship" packages could feed an African village for a YEAR. What the gently caress is happening? Surely this world is due for a meteor cause we can't go on like this.

Why are we so eager to leave the plane of this world and pretend we're star captains?

WHAT THE gently caress. What the ACTUAL, HUMAN gently caress.

I'm so god drat triggered right now.

I also have a boner, is that bad?

Whoever at CIG decided that the way to maximise income from this sale was create new superpacks of ships hosed up. Nerds like specific things and these superpacks have ships they might not want, I think they'd have made a lot more selling the Idris & Glaive individually and I suspect they have realised this by now.

Unless the people already have the ships and melting them + buying the pack saves them 5$. Making all ships 'bought for melted credits' and unrefundable (lol) + accepting new ToS which gives the players first-born to CIG.

There's more than one way to skin a cat

They are actually doing pretty well.

I believe they'll finish November 2015 below 2013 & 2014, maybe by 1-2 million. I worked it out before but can't be bothered double checking my figures.

2 million would maybe buy them an extra month in 2016, I still think there's a chance of seeing the Javelin and/or 890 Jump as they've thrown everything else at this sale so it's still uncertain.

Where is this money coming from though? Can we talk about that for a minute? How could an obvious traveling clown show with a small potential market segment make this much money off a half-assed suite of jpegs? They can't even make a working tech demo after 4 years of concerted effort.

For those keeping track, that's 1 mocap studio per year. 1.333333333 if you ask the white knights.

yes.

Even if it's literally the best game ever (and what's trickling out is currently a broken mess with the potential to be OK-decent in a few years) look at those loving prices. Read the reddit posts about people who overspent, failed to pay bills, couldn't eat for a week because of internet spaceship jpegs. Those prices are predatory, the false scarcity is predatory, the reintroduction of "limited edition" ships to general sale is cynical and predatory, everything about it is manipulative and shady irrespective of the quality of the game

Yep, to the point where other games are literally speaking out against Star Citizen in their kickstarter pledges.
