Starmarine is now owned in its entirety by a scfi writer called Mark Hamdy from southern England, because CIG forgot to renew the filing......

I honestly think it has something to do with the fact that this guy wants people who touch their genitals to be mutilated. Like he was trying to think of a name for his space-hell, but Galactic Empire was taken or whatever, so he came up with a mix of stimulation and empire.

idk I could never bring myself to get all the way through the stimpire post, I'm just stating things as fact based off something I sort of remember somebody posting at some point in the past in the thread, like some horrible version of telephone.

Some of these people say that this is the only game they've been playing. But I'm confused as to what exactly they're doing, as it seems all content that's been released in terms of missions and everything can be completed in under an hour. So what exactly are these people doing? Are they just doing the same missions over and over again? Granted 30% of the game is spent on rebooting the game. But once that initial hour has passed...

Stranger still- both the trademark and the domain name StarMarine.com predate Star Citizen's very existence.

The fact that Sandi, Chris and Ortwin didn't bother to check to see if "Star Marine" was legally available beforehand is interesting in itself. That's remedial branding stuff-- yet they missed it. They may not even realize-- at this late date-- that they must stop their use of the term "Star Marine" altogether -- because they have absolutely no claim to it and, barring a negotiated purchase, they likely never will.

It's almost like the triumvirate out in LA don't know what they're doing-- but that's not possible, right?!

I often think that most Shitizens don't actually like videogames all that much. Their favorite games are from the early 90s. They have absolutely no modern videogame experience and when they do it's often derisive. ('I just never got the appeal of WoW'). They dream of pie-in-the-sky immersive, RP-heavy MMO experiences but have absolutely no understanding of how or why those ideas have always been failures. Finally they see absolutely nothing odd about playing the same game for the next 10+ years, which says to me they're thinking specifically of the MMO - but they hate playing games with other people.

How immersive do they imagine the single player, MMO-ish portion of the game is going to be with zero player interaction anyway? What would that game even look like? A literal universe simulation complete with NPCs that have proceduraly generated motivations and personalities?

These aren't people who like games, they're people who hate reality.

ROFL are you serious?

"Imagine years from now, paying retail price and enjoying a game and thinking, man what if I hadn't wasted years of my life not playing Star Citizen? What if I could have been there from the beginning. Well I am here. Feels good not living in a weird imaginary nightmare of my own creation."

I think the only thing that could make this trainwreck any better (Besides the point when the poo poo hits the fan and Roberts flees to Brazil/goes down in a hail of IRS agent gunfire) is if the Ion Storm comparisons got common enough to draw John Romero out of hiding.
Romero actually did come out of hiding today! Not because of Star Citizen, though. Apparently he's toying with making another FPS - by himself as a side-project, not a crazy high budget thing like Daikatana - and made a new Doom map as a "warm-up". Pretty hard, and some odd design choices, but as far as returns to a genre that you haven't been involved in for a long time go, it's certainly a bit more... dignified than a few I could name.

I love that they end up revolting over the dumbest poo poo too.
Reminded of when the Skyrim dungeon designers, pressed for time and last-gen console memory, repurposed existing props to imitate other objects by clipping them into surfaces (for example, shoving a shelf into the floor to make it look like a table). Granted, you probably couldn't tell at a glance unless you used the noclip cheat, so I guess that counts as both clever and funny.

heres a present from 60 pages back when everyone is still doing these:

When we kickstarted, future was so bright
The old internet was so alive

Would play star citizen and not elite

Now the forums are cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their wallets worn
How could one little verse
make things so much worse

JPEGs owned
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

Roberts had a chance, thought he really could
Instead he dropped out of hollywood
Sandi screws the fans 'cause she hates the rubes
Got a psychosis 'bout shavin pubes

Ben committed foodicide
Derek L-O-L'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality
