I call that Beet is Dolvak and he single handedly began this reddit war.

gently caress dude, I wish. I'm nowhere near clever enough to purposefully gently caress up /r/starcitizen as bad as Dolvak has hosed it up accidentally lol.

The funniest thing about that subreddit eating itself is that they could fix it so easily by just choosing a philosophy and sticking with it. You wanna be the "tough but fair" guys? Cool, start probating everybody who posts "star citizen is a scam" and everybody that whines about Derek Smart or GOONS. You wanna be the "fight your own fight" guys? Cool, come up with a list of hard rules that will earn you a ban and only enforce those. But they can't/won't do it because they've been kowtowing to the /r/dereksmart crew too long to stop now, and either option would enrage the idiots who want protection from and free license to talk poo poo about goons.

That bluegoblin guy should go to the FD forums and tell all those people who post negative stuff constantly that they should shut up. I always get told by them they are negative because they want the game to succeed. There are some original (kickstarter) backers of ED that start their morning with a good whine, building up to the main whine of the day, before settling down into a low level grumpy whine in the evening.

So many of the early backers seemed to be doing it explicitly for a safe space game where they wouldn't get harassed by goons, and now in the late-stages of the "game" they're being harassed by everyone else in EVE.

This isn't even theorycrafting any more - this is the fanbase assuming Star Citizen works like a Tulpa

It's also how the community has become an active part of the scam. By talking about their "game" anywhere and everywhere, in every context possible, it makes it look to the uninformed person as if Star Citizen is an actual thing that exists.

That Tulpa thing is rather... disturbing :ohdear:

What is a Tulpa? posted:

Tulpas are not malicious unless you really mess up during the creation process and treat your tulpa in a way that makes them utterly hate you—and even then, a tulpa can’t really do you much harm. Tulpas aren’t self-imposed schizophrenia or whatever other mental illness you might be thinking of. You won’t go crazy, and you won’t have random hallucinations; it’s all perfectly safe and fun. Please look at the phenomenon rationally, and consider that you have plenty of control over your mind and what happens in it.

I know I'm the only one pushing the angle of Russian or whatever troll farms for hire being in play, but I'm convinced there is something to it. Even if it's just a small time op with a tiny handful of actors, something is going on. I can just smell it.

If I'm correct, I wonder what they are being told to say, and what direction they are being given.

I don't see many Russian tweets but maybe they spell "Star Citizen" differently. Today I saw this though:

https://twitter.com/_Game2Day_/status/1008664068033597440
"Between Star Citizen and EVE Online fans broke the conflict because of the copied ship - Translated from Russian"

Link leads to an unrelated article. I'm thinking automation mistake but you're free to look into it further.

Edit: They probably meant to link to here.

Actually Star Citizen is already one of the most expensive video game budgets ever, all categories, all genres included.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop

Currently sitting at #4 in total cost.

The top 3 are:

- Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2: 285 M$
- GTA V: 278 M$
- Star Wards: TOR: 218+ M$

Now, that includes marketing costs. Hard to say how much of SC is marketing vs development. Call of Duty's number looks insane, but only $50M of it was used for development..

Scam Citizen will surpass all those one day. Around alpha patch Fifty-two point nine

If there was a hint, a sniff, a mere soupcon of a mention of the ability to grief, Eve goons would be all over the game to forestall the drat boredom of the second job in Eve. I remember playing transformice between fleet actions and during musters and patrols. Some people multi-box plexes, but seriously, like death and taxes, Goons are an inevitability in released games with actual mechanics.

Yeah but the first 184 million didn't count since they had to build the company first. So truthfully they created the alpha with just a couple of millions. This is good for Star Citizen.

Well, we are the CCP corporate board. Some people only read that fake internet history of grand old instituions and dead, gay comedy forums.

Fark was originally CIA. True story.

Edit: I know that someone will call my mod verified credentials into question, but there are Federal record retention policies, which is why Something Awful is archived by the Library of Congress, along with Fark and the Mossad operation known as Slashdot. There's a whole NOFORN thing going on there, so B3TA gets swept up as well in a situation that's really untidy. It's one of the reasons that you can never use the phrase 'I need to defend my pumpkins {{TEST_USE_TAG_NOFOLLOW}}'.

That's as much as I'm willing to say in a closed forum section.
