You got probated for six hours because you're apparently incapable of creating a sarcastic post without resorting to Internet slang that makes you look like a twelve-year old. Don't worry about it. It happens.

And frankly if you can't handle people being rude "to the game" then you should look elsewhere. Star Citizen is a case study in feature creep mismanaged by incompetent frauds who have exploited the trust of hundreds of thousands of people. The product itself is as shallow, derivative, and creatively bankrupt as those in charge of it. It is not a game, it is a scam.

Some people feel like their decision to get a refund or the opinions they've made many posts on for years will be invalidated if anything even remotely positive comes out of the star citizen community. Its a classic sunk cost fallacy.

Its why we get so many kneejerk posts. Like someone posts a tweet "Star Citizen is shaping up to be a great game" and like 3 people trip over themselves to say "its not a game smug"

I have never given money to this non-game because it is run by an incompetent.

Star Citizen is like those hostage situation where the antagonists demand a helicopter, and everyone is like, sure, there's a chopper on it's way, no problem sir. Everyone knows flashbangs are the only way out of it, they just agree that the chopper will be unharmed on its way to Mexico out of common courtesy.

If you look at the positives of Star Citizen it's currently a very very good way to stand in / near a corridor and also it's en extremely good way to be the shape of a spaceship and walk around in a skybox

When hundreds of people are being lied to in order to part with their money, those who promote the scam for what ever reason will face hostility from those who have the interests of others at heart.

Stop giving these people money. They have 7 times more funding than they said they needed to release this game in 2014 and when they extended their funding they explicitly said it would not increase the timescales. They are liars who care about nothing but keeping the funding flowing. Stop apologising for them, their efforts over the past 5 years have been pathetic compared to almost every single game released in the same time period, all of which had smaller teams and smaller budgets.

There is no excuse, Chris Roberts is an unstoppable narcissist and he will never stop lying or taking people's money until he is forced to.

A lot of my org buds think no SQ42 shown is no big deal, everything's great etc. I thought it sucked I was looking forward to seeing some stuff. But I don't spiral into negativity and see stuff that simply isn't there. Some of you make Annabelle Huxley on RSI look unbiased.

So are you going to be sticking around in the thread for a while?

If so, tell us your red line. The next milestone that would need to be missed or massively hosed up for you to lose faith in the project. What's your breaking point?

What about SQ42 not coming out in 2017? Perhaps they release some lovely 1 hour "prologue" mission to try to shut people up. Would that be a step too far?
