Also, i dont have friends in cig but i do talk to someone who works there, and she says goons (people registered in the goon guild on their forums) have spent 55k since 2013.

Lol

Ask your not-a-friend-but-someone-who-tells-you-about-the-inner-workings-of-CIG-for-reasons if they can provide the list of SA posters who have spent money on star citizen spaceships and torpedoes. We need to hunt down and silence these awful rebels. We must be of one mind, one opinion as dictated by Overlord Smart.

I can't believe goons have spent almost $20k a year on Star Citizen! Idiot hypocrites!





oh wait, I totally can because every single month there's three more posts about getting refunds.

Chris Roberts wanted to play director. You can't direct A-level talent by having some scrub professional mocap team do all the work and then get a voiceover done. That's stupid and not at all how professionals do it.

FREE private servers were never mentioned. Just Private Servers. If private servers ever did become a thing, the first thing CIG would claim is the database and the like are too complicated/too proprietary to distribute so players will need to rent seats on a private server. i.e. it is your server, but you pay CIG a hosting fee.

But like all things CIG and Star Citizen--dreams. There will never be private servers for a game that will never exist.

I can't believe I'm arguing about this but what they promised was that people could host their own servers for others to play on and connect to. Literally the very first bit of information after the logo on the kickstarter page:

quote:

    Real quick, Star Citizen is:

  • A rich universe focused on epic space adventure, trading and dogfighting in first person.
  • Single Player – Offline or Online(Drop in / Drop out co-op play)
  • Persistent Universe (hosted by US)
  • Mod-able multiplayer (hosted by YOU)
  • No Subscriptions
  • No Pay to Win

So no, renting servers absolutely will not qualify as what they sold.

While I agree you are right about what will end up happening (if anything) they definitely sold the game with the claim for players to host their own modable servers, not rent servers hosed by someone else.

just because you had an exchange with the recent hire community rep out of Austin doesn't qualify as "I talk to someone who works there"

It's hilarious how the cultists' new rallying cry is "The engine transition went well! Chris said so!" to distract themselves from the fact that CIG showed essentially nothing for an entire year aside from a couple mocked up demos.
