I think at some point there was talk amongst the most hosed up /r/ds guys of making another one that wasn't /r/failedgamedevs, but I don't know for sure because lol who actually cares.

It'd be funny though if their "victory" is actually "Well we had to make a private subreddit to continue doing our hosed up stalking because otherwise we'd all get kicked off reddit" lmao

Great win, guys.

Yeah its what Tooterfish said - time dilation works where from your perspective: only 10 years has passed but for everyone else 20 years has passed.

In the Forever War (excellent book by the way), by the time the protagonist is fighting the recruit he's been from his perspective fighting on/off for the best part of 10 years, but from humanities perspective he's been in combat for 500 years. He's promoted to Major simply because he's been around for so long.

I can't remember the specifics of the fight scene and why he wins 'easily' though, although it is quite funny from what I remember.

Well worth a read for anyone who wants a good look at how time dilation could affect astronauts and is quite a lively read

Indeed the forever war was an excellent book.

SD's new shtick is that star citizen is a success because they have a captive audience of sunk cost whales that will give CIG money no matter what they do. It doesn't matter that 3.0 is a complete piece of poo poo, these people have to convince themselves it's the best game to ever game and they have to shout it from the rooftops. It doesn't matter that no game resembling the pitch is ever coming because as long as they can theory craft bullshit like people stealing their meds they will continue to buy whatever CIG sells. When they sell jpeg buildings for the fake moon property in a few weeks or months the same people that buy stuff every sale will buy that and CIG will make millions. They have enough whales that are willing to throw a few thousand at them every few paychecks that they will survive.

He's not arguing that SC is good or that CIG is good he's just saying they aren't going anywhere because like a booby streamer on twitch they have enough whales stuck in that they can just go on and on.

There were rumors that employees get an insane employee discount and that they were encouraged to buy ships, even if they were going to flip them on the grey market for more than they paid. That would account for the occasional 15k spike you see in some of the graphs. They could be another employee spending 7.5k on a 15k package and flipping it for 10k. CIG marks up the whole transaction without the discounts, the employee gets 2.5k and the backer gets a cheaper set of ships, a set that can't be refunded ever.
