It's amazing how regularly backers invoke the "happy backers are fiscally responsible and should be allowed to spend $10,000 on spaceships/angry backers are only angry because they went into debt from spending $10,000 on spaceships" section of the Citizen's Defense Handbook (Galarox, start photoshopping, buddy) without realizing they look like loving morons.

They just can stand the fact that those posters are having a good time laughing at how lovely Elite's supposed rival is It's actually pretty sad that cult of Star Citizen has led it's desperately insane followers to harass people that are minding their own business. Derek is a clown but he was right that his game was review bombed on Steam. Every one of the reviews of his game was a literally shaking cultist going "This developer slanders other game devs while HIS game is lacking in these areas" Elite Dangerous has hundreds of extra negative reviews on top of it's normal criticism from years of backers buying it and "directly attacking the enemy." At least they are mostly just trying to damage THE ENEMY with passive aggressive rage posting online and aren't taking their insane crusade to real life. The worrying thing is that there is a non-zero chance that it does actually go that far and further once the unicorns run out of rainbow farts and they can no longer imagine getting closer to heaven.

D_Smart posted:Meanwhile, over there I’m only surprised that people are still surprised today when they realize they are getting censored. Censorship has always been a major part of the CIG campaign, and also a huge pillar for its detractors. CIG has been removing posts to “concern” or deleting them since maybe about a year into the project. The major selling point for their whole Spectrum stuff was to help them censor posts better. If they didn’t like something, they prevent new posts, and then it magically disappears out of view. If any of the upset users are reading this, this isn’t a new thing. CIG very much does specifically go out of their way to ensure they control the narrative of what potential new and existing backers can read. This is because their business plan doesn’t involve actually releasing a product. Go ahead and ask CIG how they plan to maintain an international company after they release a buy-once non-subscription model game to consumers. You’ll get no answers from CIG, but about a million different responses from sycophants. Probably almost as many answers as you would if you asked about even basic gameplay mechanics.  There is a reason for that, but you’ll need to put 2 and 2 together on your own, and not think it’s some stupid “goon conspiracy”. It’s all CIG, all the way down to the rotten core.

Toops posted:I have fun complaining so they're both perfect 10/10 imo. Elite gets a 10/10 from me purely on its impressive ability to trigger SC fanboys. 7/10 is a correct score for it: an 8 or 9 if you enjoy the Elite-franchise of games, but there are many gamers who aren't. Destiny 2, Elite, Warframe, World Of Tanks, etc are all very fun games for me, because I don't see/feel the grind by not having a "i must get this asap" mindset. However, any grind in a game is a content/design-flaw, and if a game doesn't offer enough fun methods to progress players will gripe about it. There are too many games nowadays that indirectly force gamers into grinding, by not helping them progress naturally and reasonably quickly - it's either slow & varied-fun, or fast & grindy-boring.

That white knight post is so delusional I don't know how it doesn't make other backers immediately try to get a refund. quote:And it is my opinion as well. Nobody should be using a crowdfunded project as a personal bank account they can withdraw from at any moment. quote:It isn't your legal right to ask for a refund months or even years down the line. quote:Also, anyone who believes that pledging allows them to get a refund whenever shouldn't ever pledge beyond a starter package quote:I wish CIG would stop giving refunds to anyone who has pledged for more when the last pledge was made months ago, which is their legal rights. Just because you think CIG has delivered and can rationalize that to yourself they have not delivered. "It makes sense to me" doesn't work when you are a loving delusional idiot trying to backwards justify a faith based viewpoint. They have not delivered objectively and they have not delivered legally. They have no legal rights to stop giving refunds and that's why they continue to give them. quote:They only don't enforce because of the noise goons would make if CIG dares to do what is well within CIG's rights.

Kerbal is the best space game, according to me. Every single bit of it is fun. It's laced with naturally occurring moments of panic and hilarity. Rescuing Kerbals from orbit is nerve wracking, gliding a vast mechanical construction to the surface of a faraway world is *awesome*. Building things and testing them is fun and spergy and engaging. Watching your space empire grow, sending out probes, building a comms network, fiddling with management strategies... so much depth and awesome.

The Titanic posted:I’m only surprised that people are still surprised today when they realize they are getting censored. Censorship has always been a major part of the CIG campaign, and also a huge pillar for its detractors. There wasn't always heavy censorship, at least not obvious stuff at first. IIRC it wasn't until sometime between the LTI Uprisings and when Arena Commando released and the great Flight Model Wars began. At first they just katamari'd posts they didn't like from a really wide range of barely related poo poo, making those subjects too hard to meaningfully follow (especially without being able to tell where posts/threads originated once spliced in) with their fast and loose qualifiers. It was well contained from normal sight since most folks avoided the forum mosh pits since it was still a hopeful time and circlejerking still didn't require erection enhancements for a lot of the og's, but eventually the waters of discontent started overflowing the levees of the toxic waste pits they were consigned to. That's when they came up with the 'concern' forum, a special walled garden gulag to hide unsightly posts and naughty hints of disbelief or talk of accountability in a dungeon far from public view and even obscured from wide eyed inductees. Moderation became increasingly heavy handed as dreams continued to collide with reality, a patch a time back when they still did that and at some point they needed even more control to maintain the narrative. CIG had long since recognized r/starcitizen was where the whales really hung out anyhow, so they capitalized on the existing arrangement once the katamari's and Concern forum and brownshirting was no longer enough to staunch the flow coming from the cracks. Enter, Spectrum. They made a site that's basically their own little North Korea that makes it easy to keep up appearances and disappear anyone/anything unbefitting of dear leader's visionTM but also made such a lovely mess of the forum for users that there was a critical mass herd migration to reddit. There they can generally maintain the narrative between sycophant brigades, retards on reddit, sunk cost grey marketers and good ole astroturfing etc, though outside the hugbubble of r/sc they often get drown in the bathtub of facts by non cultists that recognize the situation is laughably abnormal 6 years/160mil into this fever dream.
