Makes sense, they don't have the content to put together an anniversary stream and a holiday stream, and pushing the livestream back to the latest possible date buys them time to wave their hands around frantically before they finally break it to the backers that lol you're not getting a major patch this year you loving turds.

Also, here's the gif version of that for your archives, if'n you're missing it.



Right. And they already said that SQ42 was going to be the holiday stream reveal. Not that they're going to show any gameplay of course; but who knows?

Goons grasping at straws. Sales have always been successful and predicting doom at each one of them is pathetic.

You're being willfully ignorant. Nobody is predicting doom. We're predicting sales numbers. You see, there's a difference.

And for a company that is burning through over $3m per month, any month they don't make that amount, means that they're in the Red. It's just basic math.

Because I have (a moderate amount of) faith in humanity, I'm guessing that the pledges will go way down. $2 million.

On the other hand, CIG's marketing team has displayed an uncanny knack for stimulating the normally inactive emotional pleasure centers in brains of their fans, 95% percent of whom are further along the autism spectrum than they would ever admit to themselves. CIG is like an attractive, sexually available female who finds trilbies attractive, likes guys who paint Warhammer miniatures, and thinks Japanese tentacle guro is almost as good as Japanese hentai harem comedies for watching on "date night". Once the neckbeard is lured in, he will angrily defend m'lady with every katana in his collection, because the Aegis Javelin is his waifu, and no Chad is gonna tell him that she was a waste of his money and time.

That's why I guessed $9 million: because I have zero faith in this segment of humanity. In general, people are dumb, and Star Citizen fans are unfathomably dumber than that.

God I would be so stoked if they showed a mission from SQ42, even an incomplete one. I need another hit of that terrible terrible writing. I mean... they won't, of course. But maybe we'll get some footage of whichever actors still haven't had their attorneys call and separate them from the project lmao.

I’m gonna go with 4.8. :)

I don’t think the well is dry, and if they do something crazy with two new ships it’ll be good for them. If one of those ships is a carrier of some sort, it’ll probably go up to like 6m.

With the rumors of player counts doing nothing but going up, like the last leak said 100 players in an instance, this sounds like serious gearing up to put some big capital ships on sale again, or make new ones to sell off.

Squadron 42 would be magical. You could look at it and say, here it is, CIG's attempt at a normal game, with no "but it's never been done before" bullshit to hide behind

This is precisely why they will never show any of it to anyone

He had a hugely successful run in GBS recently for several months. People were even getting pissed off enough to buy banner ads linking to his posts. Unfortunately one of the people I troll in GBS also follows Star Citizen, saw me here, and started accusing me of being SD in every thread to try and get me permabanned which led to the hammer coming down on the real thing.
