This referral program is a hell of intensive. I always knew I was a backer at heart and it is the last thing I needed to discover it. So long SA forum and gently caress you gooniuses. Here I come along ManofManyAliases/Toast to invest for my future and for that of my children still stocked in my balls but daily claiming freedom in the air.

didn't you hear? people spend thousands of hours streaming star citizen because of how fun it is and how much there is to do.

WTFOSaurus looking like a prisoner of war, angrily running around that single station and dying hundreds of times for months just to spend 15+ minutes each trip to get there and die to an invisible commando spraying gunfire like the death blossom from the last starfighter?

An referrals contest. Just when you think CIG's marketing tactics can't get any more slimier, they prove you wrong.

But at least the article detailing all these, as signs that "people should have noted as red flags" and "something scammy was going on but few noticed", when CIG eventually burns in a trash fire will be a lengthy one.

For sure. Which looks worse:

"Despite every sign pointing to this being a massive scam, CIG managed to poo poo out a 5/10 game. Guess we were wrong. Technically."

Yeah this referral contest is pretty slimy. It's showing a focus from CIG on trying to create new whales. Bring in as many people as possible as fast as possible in the hopes more loving spastic idiots will drop $50,000 on pictures of spaceships.

that ship was much cooler when a star destroyer crashes through it in rogue one. also it wasnt a ship but a planetary shield.
