Also note he mentions 1000 hours to get a Constellation at triple the current price. That makes the game income €270*3/1000 = €0.80/hour.

It's the last resort of the whale, if the griefers can't get ships then he'll be able to show them who's boss.
This is what that earning rate poll is looking like now.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Dude, I don't even look at a poll until there's at least 50 votes on it. Call back when they've crossed at least a hundred votes, or better two hundred. CIG would be extra-retarded, instead of just normal-retarded, if they'd ever do something on the basis of a joke poll like that.

Take that other poll with 300+ votes for example, that's far more relevant for discussion.

Did CIG just stumble onto the pay to win landmine that they've been dancing around for this entire farcical crowd funding effort?

A rather touchy subject that people have been far too thick to grasp up until this point. Surely the beloved CIG would never do something so greedy as to sell space ships after the game has been released!

Yeah, the sample size is small and could certainly be better in statistical relevance. On the other hand, the last time I waited for an interesting poll to increase in sample size, the thread was exiled to the Concern forum and the poll excised.

It was very long time ago maybe more than a year? but they are showing some tabletop game to simulate the economy, couple that with some drunk players coz the spergs are always giving them burbon. then you can expect to have an economy based on tabletop designed by drunk devs which every country's economy should be modeled to.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:

I wonder when they'll realize the defense of "you're not buying a ship, you're donating and getting a ship for it" is pure semantic sophistry.

As soon as CiG tries to sell a "5 more hours of cutscenes" pack and nobody buys it because they don't get a pretend thing.

This may also cause the inevitable storm of people protesting they want to make their own story, not be forced down the Roberts story vision.

If SQ42 offers in game bonuses for the PU, people will flip over that too since they want their magical super character to be special.

Outside of the technical impossibilities of the game, it will be a social explosion of rage before any of it comes to fruition, assuming they make it that far.

CiG just need to stop development entirely so they can continue to sell dreams. They're going to smash the piggy bank with progress.

Ultimately though, the CiG gravy train will eventually tip the scales, and everybody backing them today will be holding matches and gasoline tomorrow.

Of course, that's not the only potential star citizen e-sport

"Our first semi-finals match is between CommanderSparks and WulfStarKing! CommanderSpark's mastery of the basics has gotten him this far, but how he fare against Wulf's unorthodox strategies that have been dazzling the crowd all night? Our contestants are ready to begin, so lets find out!"

"And they're off! They've logged into their accounts, navigated to the store, and now comes the first hard decision of the match; what will they buy?"

"Commander is purchasing... I think... yes! A war pack! Just big enough to be exiting, but not really a unique choice. Still, this approach is tried and true to say the least, but will it stay that way? Meanwhile, what's Wulf doing? What's this? He's buying constellation after constellation! Look at him go! Just what is he thinking? Wow folks, they're neck and neck, just what you would expect from experienced pros. Now comes the real battle where we'll see who wins."

"They're navigating over to Reddit where they'll defend their purchase against an imaginary critic. Winner will be determined by circlejerking and upvotes! Both Wulf and Commander have done extremely well so far, but their audience is fickle and all that can change in a moment"

"They're beginning. Commander's opening is pretty standard here, but very well written. First, he's thanking Roberts for creating such a wonderful game, and now he's going on to explain how he's been saving up his disability benefits for months to make this purchase. It pulls at the heartstrings. Now he's moving on to angrily decry naysayers who continue to mock the game in spite of the release of 2.0. Again, all very standard, but every ingredient of a successful post is there folks. Aaand, he's done!"

"Wulf is still working on his, which is going to lose him a few points, but lets see what he's done. Wow! First, he's stating how he's planning on gifting star citizen to all his friends and family for Christmas! That's what they really love to see over there, efforts to bring more into the fold. Now where he explains the money and... oh wow, his wife's savings. That is impressive dedication, the willingness to destroy someone else's life and potentially his own marriage. This could very easily backfire on him amongst the less passionate fans, but the true believers will be moved. WIll this gambit pay off? We'll see... Now he's ending it by calling Derek Smart a cocksucker over and over again. No explanation, no rationale, just pure unbridled hatred. drat, he really is trying to appeal to the most dedicated fans here. And his post is up... now all that's left is to tally the votes!"

"Aaaaand... Wulf wins by the skin of his teeth! His prize? A 100 dollar store credit! He will go on to the finals where he will compete against SexyBlondeMILF for the grand prize: a grossly-underpaid Asian who will crew his ships and call him 'Captain'!"

Nobody ever realises they were 'wrong all along'. They will just blame Smart, or the media, or evil publishers, or something.

The Admiral is mortally wounded and the only way to save him is to transfer his consciousness to Sandi's body. From then on she speaks with his voice and with the backdrop of the Vanduul invasion you the protagonist have to deal with your feelings about dating an old man living in the body of the woman you loved.
