No see CIG figured it would be a good idea to poke fun at themselves , make some jokes get some laughs

Something other teams might do after they actually release a product

CiG is so far ahead of the curve they're skipping the non important parts

Now see, I feel like that's nearly correct. If they did all these janky shenanigans, showed gameplay progress, AND didn't ask for more money, they'd of had a great little funny live stream event that probably would have earned them new followers and sales.

To make sales "fun" and not a centerpiece, they could have had a Christmas tree with ornaments filled with ship cards. Somebody shook the tree, whatever ornament fell is the ship that went on sale for an hour or something. Hell, even put a qvc timer in the corner for people. But then you play the game, for example you'd play the game using the ship that's currently on sale. Talk about a good idea?

Unfortunately this idea would require an actual functional game to play.

Maybe next year they'll have tons of guns to buy because an FPS game is easier than anything else they want to do. Just make the space part more like a suggestion, or a cutscene, intermixed between 2000's grade FPS action while saying it's "like space Arma!" Backers aren't exactly geniuses so they'll probably love playing the crappy early access quality game while drinking piss and claiming it's fine wine!

Hey guys, constantly taking screenshots of the people you dislike and watching every single second of hours long livestreams of the game you hate to be able to land the perfect burn about some guys dinner is immensely hosed up. I mean its no surprise it happened in the friday night doxx e-stalking station (and all of this over a videogame), but come on.
Please, stop stalking people online 24/7, doxxing people, sending them death threats, masturbating to spaceships, loling about graphs all friday night. Please, for youre sake. I want the best for you all.

To be fair, SC has alreay delivered the best mutliplayer space sim around, and its barely even developed. It unlikely they will ever live up to the hype, but whats theyve shown is already very impressive.

The only thing impressive about what they've delivered so far is how bad it is.

I imagine a Porsche big wig deciding to give one to Crobbers , the publicity they'll get when he ends up on the news , slowly being trailed by 20 cop cars while the news chopper shows him doing massive rails from the steering wheel
