The point at which SC is fully released as a ground breaking space simulation game, offering top quality dog-fighting with realistic Newtonian physics, full planetary exploration of high quality procedurally generated planets, all previously mentioned professions and character development implemented in a fun way, a fully functioning and balanced economy where piracy, mining, trading, passenger transportation, news reporting, auditing, exploration and all other gameplay types are fully viable and fun. Functional and enjoyable ship boarding mechanics, with FPS mechanics rivalling the latest generation of dedicated FPS games. All of the PU features fully supported in an offline mode as well as an online one. A lengthy and deep single player campaign. Every other promised feature that I have no doubt forgotten about, fully implemented in a fun and enjoyable way. All of this providing lasting enjoyment of at least 6 months to everyone, from those who have $30,000 invested to those who have just $30 without any feeling of pay to win advantage being given to those who paid more while at the same time ensuring that they do not feel as if they have been ripped off, in a universe of over a million concurrent players with battles involving 200 individuals or more.

Basically, when the promises made about this game are fulfilled.

Typing out the ludicrous scope of Star Citizen really is very fun to do, it just gets more and more insane as I remember each new promise. Hey yeah they're going to have procedurally generated wildlife on the planets too, I forgot to mention that. Put that on the list. On and on it goes, like the insane ramblings of a mad person.

The criteria for an "I told you so" would be them failing to meet any of those promises, or SC cultists feeling betrayed in any other way fuelled by their delusion.

Here's the best part - they'll probably fail to meet all sorts of promises that they made, but that doesn't preclude goons from having a great time playing SC! Many scenarios involve a game that goons can have a great time in but STILL massively fails to meet the expectations of the rabid hordes of SC cultists. We will play this game when it's released, no matter what state it's in. We will do our best to have fun, probably at the expense of the cultists. Goons are really really good at finding fun things to do in a lovely game. We'll try really hard to have a good time. Apparently this makes fans of SC pretty upset.

Do not touch the poop. Gryphon is the poop crawling up your leg and trying to get your attention by giving you a poop moustache. Put that thing back where it came from.

touch the poop sounds like a phrase a pedophile would use to make his horrendous abuse of a minor more palatable in his victim's childish brain. why are you loving retards using it en masse? where the gently caress did it start and what type of brain damage did so many of you sustain to think that it's an acceptable way for an adult to talk? jesus loving christ i come to this thread to laugh at broken people, which is already a private shame, and i'm forced to feel revulsion for the people on the right side of the fence. loving stop it.

You've got your finger on the pulse of the sperg heartbeat here. I think that a lot of these people WANT the game to be P2W. If you consider that some of them who have donated large sums actually have the cash lying around, (SOME of them, as opposed to using disability checks or next month's rent), you can easily paint a picture of these sad souls, money in bank but socially inept, trolling bars dropping casual mentions of their big $$$, and women being repulsed from them like two magnets with identical poles lined up. Trying the same thing in day to day life, getting weird looks and polite nods as people excuse themselves from their presence as fast as their legs will carry them.

And now there's a universe where they can pay money which translates directly into "respect" and immediately noticeable visual achievement (check out the dude in the Constallation), without them having to expose, as they would in real life, what they look like, how they carry themselves, and how they act in general.

It's like being able to take all the material wealth you've earned over the years, but completely rebuild every other reprehensible trait about yourself and start completely over with a blank slate in a new universe. Can you imagine how seductive that thought is to some of these people?

"What if you could take everything you've earned in your life, and everything you've learned, but go back to high school and be good looking and popular and respected?" I think that particular deal with the devil is just too good for some of these people to pass up.

I think it's good they drop by, even someone like Gryphon. There is no way some of this poo poo doesn't get embedded in their minds and seeing as we're talking about CR here at some point he'll inevitably go too far and the seeds will germinate. Of course they'll never admit they came around except maybe a few years afterward but does that really matter? People have sunk thousands into this debacle. :smith:
