shrach posted:Imagine the thought process when listing it. £3,500 seems like a lot of money but this is Star Citizen... better make it an auction in case there is a bidding war and I can actually get more than £3,500 for it. It's more a piece of memorabilia than a computer If I had it I would definitely expect idiots to pay ludicrous amounts of money for the "Star Citizen computer" No loving way would I list it at £3500 though

Wafflz posted:This can't be real. From the chargeback essay he's writing for the bank: quote:This pack was promoted as including a copy of the game “Squadron 42,” a copy of the game “Star Citizen,” and eight digital items, ships for use in game, at a total value of $2500. I cannot link directly to the description of the merchandise as it has been removed from the seller’s website. Previously the link would have been: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Combos/Armada-Pack My favorite is he even links to a thread called "$2500 pack not worth it"

If Fuzzy Motion is lugging a printer to Sandi's house, then Sarsapariller is hauling that printer a second time, saying "hey the exercise was pretty good last time  "

fuctifino posted:LOL. I had a look when it first appeared and parts-wise, you probably have to spend $1,000 to get the current equivalents of what's in that box (a couple of components aren't available any more and have moved on to a new release generation). If you're willing to pay a premium for the assembly and the … ehrm … fabulous decorations, it might even still be worth that much. …except that it's a very stupid build that offers an interesting combination of ridiculous power draw, massive heat, and comparatively little oomph. So from that perspective, even 600 might be too much.

Sarsapariller you are cool and chill. But also silly. This has the potential to be great. "In a recent live video broadcast for supporters of the project, the CEO was filmed attempting unsuccessfully to demonstrate the latest version of his $100 million video game. During the broadcast he described his game's user interface as 'the worst thing I've ever seen'."

Think about having access to all the fantastic data in this thread, and still giving Chris the benefit of the doubt. Now consider the percentage of people on the planet who take the RSI website at face value, but don't read forums like this one. Even the gaming media at large is still fellating SC (although that's slowing down finally). How would any of them know any better? Look at that repair mechanics page! Hot tits, this game is gonna be great!!!

I'm pretty sure it's compulsive behavior Like, the fallacy "I'm $2500 ahead from this, which means I've got a cool $2500 to spend on it for freee!!!" is classic gambling addict thinking Sarsa please never touch a video poker machine

He wouldn't be able to mount any defense on that front either. Like, "I'm not an addict you idiot, I spent $2500 because I felt like it and money doesn't matter to me!" or "I'm not an addict you idiot, I believe in Chris's dream, having my doubts crushed by the glorious gameplay in 2.0!!!" are not very convincing to me and might require elaboration

Sarsapariller made a real bad decision, but I keep seeing posts in here saying that 2.0 shows "potential" or whatever. It's all smoke and mirrors and some of y'all still have hope that it'll become a real game. Stop it.

It's all smoke and mirrors and some of y'all still have hope that it'll become a real game. Stop it. I wasted 30 gigs of bandwidth to download 2.0, I can give a first hand account of it not having potential. Even griefing shitizens sucks after 30 or so minutes because everything about the "game" is poo poo.
