Hey gang.

So here's a question.

Espresso Machine cost about $17,000.

Space Door cost about $40,000.

What single, used-once item would cost $100,000?

You've seen it. You've absolutely loving seen it.

Aussies, you've absolutely loving seen it.

That model of the Kraken?

Pretty sure a "marine biology degree" costs less than 100k from any reputable ""university"".

I'd go to Remedy and offer all of Star Citizen as a start for Control II: Space Control. The twisted NPC monstrosities, vanishing objects, falling through the ground and other bizarre things just need some talented writers to describe how they are Altered World Events.

They could call it Star Control II

It's something you'd never think of, but in hindsight it's also so very Star Citizen.

Dear Chris, people keep laughing at me for backing Star Citizen and my mum has threatened to stop letting me use her credit card for "stupid bloody spaceships". Can you help?

God yes put it directly into my veins. Every once in a while someone from outside the cult actually gets suckered into trying the game and this is always the kind of experience they report. How can you have an obscure un-marketable game that's been around for nearly a decade, where this is the new player experience, and still be reporting incredibly player and income growth? You'll have to ask Chris- he's the only one who knows the secret.
