2: Two of the peeps I was playing with are Star Shitizens. It was awkward - in the end I didn't want to get all evangelical and full Goon on them so I just said that I had got a refund and got out and that I didn't think the game would ever be released as promised. It's interesting to me that outside of SA and the CIG cultist bubble that there are people who are utterly unaware that this game is a train wreck. They still think Crobbles will produce the goods. I suspect that there are a lot of citizens who are like this, and it goes (to my mind at least) some way to explaining why CIG are still generating money. Despite the noise from SA, Dereck and pissed off ex-cultists there are still a hell of a lot of people who are assuming that the game will be made, released and good.

I got invited onto a friend's friend's discord server the other day to play some dumb game with them all, and one of them was talking about Star Citizen. He had absolutely no idea what was going on with the development but was talking about how cool it was and how he had a Freelancer and all this stuff. I just kept my mouth shut, I didn't want to be that guy. My friend (who knows the whole story and apparently follows me around on reddit to laugh at weirdos) sort of prompted me and was like "Oh Beet put a bunch of money into it to" and the dude started talking about wanting to try out the PU and winging up and poo poo.

The silence after I said "Oh uh... I can't. I got a refund." was deafening.

Utterly disappointed and dismayed at the lack of any kind of actual support from CIG, other than just the removal / refund of my account. "

We're at war with Goons. We were attacked by Goons. Do you want to kill Goons, or would you rather have Citizens killed?
Today was a good day. Got good news from eye doctor that nerves look good and eye pressure was down into the "normal" range, high side of normal, but lower than it was a few weeks ago so doesn't look like I'll be going blind anytime soon. Also, Frontier released the 2.2.03 update for Elite which is a drastic QOL patch. Doesn't fix everything, but drastically improves combat and ship balance in general as well as addresses some of the problems with power play. Also the update makes VR even better in the Rift at least. Not sure about other headsets, but it was already an amazing experience. Still Elite is not going to be all things to all people. I will be interested to see this character creator and the PS4 version.

I'd love for that to get back to Chris and Sandi.

"Looks like another refund. We lost two grand."
"Oh Christ, at this rate, we'll have to come up with another ship paint job to sell so I can take that trip to Monaco. Why did they want the refund?"
"Let's see...um, because they spoiled something in Rogue One."
Cut to two CIG staffers walking by outside Crobberts office, suddenly they hear furious handwaving and Restoration Hardware desks being pounded, they abrutply turn around and go back around the corner they came from.

Beautiful. Spoiling unrelated Space Movies can get you banned from Star Citizen and all of your jpegs forcibly refunded.

I think you've been one upped, Derek Smart. All you did was voice a negative opinion about SC on an unrelated website. This person failed to spoil a star wars movie on Discord.

We only needed to wait until CIG was back for their first full week at work for the reddit to be set on fire again. People are starting to wake up and realise that the next month or so is going to be 2.6.1 (aka. 2.6 - PROPER) and that CIG is going dark on 3.0. Good thing that CIG has taught everyone that no news is bad news so that we can have drama everyday.

And maybe only applies if they do just a space sim. The first person universe isn't really working out for them. But it's at least we have star marine, which has already been rolled into the game. Now all they have to do is layer more code on top and it's going to make fps games great again.

I've seen a video of the pupil to eye, and to me that's worth every cent of money everybody has thrown in. They should be honored to have a cinematic cutscene pre-rendered as a YouTube and not released as a some kind of module or something.

The less the backers get game play wise and the more they get in YouTube videos saying how awesome the technology is, I'm glad of it. :eonwe:
