I just got me a brand new used Thinkpad X220. There's just nothing like a good old Thinkpad to warm you in bed on a cold winter night.

Why does nobody here think that the fact CIG actively tries to silence critics is a problem? https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3ysstd/why_does_nobody_here_think_that_the_fact_cig/  Didn't I say this guy is amazing? He's like a übercitizen. Just look at this from a few days ago.  Gary Oldman was just hanging around! People brought the furniture from their own homes! I hope CIG is paying him well because his rear end must be bloody raw from pulling so much stuff out.

Although we will probably never know, I keep wondering just how large the early grey market and the bitcoin greedsters played in creating this hilarious situation. I can't keep help but thinking how much of the current vocal community sounds like bitcoiners who are slowly coming to grip that they have yet again thrown away all their money trying to make a quick buck. The difference is that with bitcoin it was scammers and criminals that got all their money, and in this case it's CGI.

I heard Gary Oldman was having a garage sale next door to the motion capture studio and Chris just kind of bumped into him and said "lol, hi Gary you busy man?" then Gary said "lmfao no man! just selling some of my old aeroplane furniture here outside this motion capture studio" then Sandi turned up in her convertible BMW and said "LMFAO you guys!!! why don't you quickly pop in here Gary, do some motion capture and we'll take the furniture, this is all really convenient!" Then Ben stuck his chins around the corner and said "OMG LMFAO LOL I am having a massive heart attack you guys please call 911" Then they all just sat around for hours high fiving each other and loling until it went dark

Why would you even compare space ships a thousand years in the future such as the ones in Star Citizen to WWII planes? That is utterly crazy.

I heard that all the employees also bring their own PCs and servers and bandwidth from home, Sandi and Chris only pay themselves a salary of 1 dollar per year, and that they've made an additional 300 million dollars by not having a publisher or marketing budget.

I've been reading this thread for a while, still only on page like 600, but AS I WAS READING THE THREAD on my phone, I overheard a coworker at my new job in the next cube row over talking about Star Citizen. At first I thought I was crazy and just hearing things because I was reading about it, but I listened closer and I heard him name drop Gary Oldman and Mark Hamill. I really had to resist firing up YouTube and blasting PAAAARRRRRP for the whole office to hear.

You're going to have to learn to make a distinction between valid criticism (which, like this game, doesn't actually exist) and invalid baseless criticism for the sake of an agenda (anything not felating cig down to where the pubes would be in a company not run by the sandibus).
