I like how they're sinking so much money into the campaign when I'm pretty sure that like 90% of people interested in Star Citizen (the concept, not the reality) don't give a flying gently caress about it. Everyone just wants the PU that will never be a tenth of what is promised. Who gives a poo poo about the loving campaign?

Whatever happened to the guy that used his family's Christmas present savings to buy himself and his kid a starship.jpg? I remember that was the first time i ever felt sorry for the people who were suckered into the scam.

From what i remember he was absolutely sure his kid would love the awesome present he got him.

I think you are confusing Star Citizen with Doobies Dog House here. There was an infamous goon who's entire Christmas fund went into supporting the Doobies kickstarter. For a while there Star Citizen, Doobies, and DayZ all had one shared megathread in GBS.

Unless of course there are two goons and they both did the same thing. That would be hilarious and not actually too surprising.

Wonder what the odds are of Sandi just going gently caress you nerds, tossing down the divorce, and bouncing with half the monies.

If you mean the crowfunding money and not Croberts personal cash then that is impossible because company money and personal money are very very different things from a legal perspective.


How does an adult even think something like that could happen?

Ok. So assuming Chris R/CIG really have wasted nearly 90 million on hookers and blow, what's the fallout? Not just for the cult but for the gaming landscape in general and perhaps more specifically, Roberts and those devs? Does Roberts turn so toxic that he's run out of the industry? Do crowdfunded games lose a lot of luster or does Star Citizen just become another cautionary tale of feature creep and ego?

I would say that the whole thing would reveal that Kickstarter games are huge risks that over promise, under deliver, and are generally dumb. However I think that anyone who isn't a retard should have realized that already, so I guess the real takeaway will just be a lesson about feature creep.

Whats the verdict on E:D? Obviously these Redditors tell me its the worst game ever, a ripoff of SC and the devil and everyone regrets backing it instead of SC.

My buddy who was initially interested in Star Citizen until I told him about cargo commander and such is currently shouting E:D's praise to the moon whenever I speak to him. He really wants me to hop in and play.

Maybe it's time to get a HOTAS....

What I love most about this picture is how the longer you look at it the more little details come out, and every time you see it there is something new.

Like the katana on the floor, or the cut marks on the doll's arm.

Sounds like eve goons drama they will call you a goon fucker over literally anything

I was called a goon fucker because I sold goods to goons at too low a cost in EVE.

You see, selling your fellow goons goods purchased in Jita (the central market hub) at 400% markup for the trouble of having them shipped them to conflict zones (by a 3rd party no less) is natural to a lot of them. I did not like this practice and began importing the same goods and selling them for the outrageously low price of "double whatever it cost me". For this I was unironically called a goonfucker because I was destroying the profit margins of the people who had to lower their prices to compete with mine!

Informal cartels that price fix goods: Normal
Competition in prices: Goon loving

sorry EVE goons but your brains are broken.

I've played it with a group of 4. Pretty fun. We taunted the space bad guys into flying into a black hole, nuked a bunch of things, and then got torn apart by a cloud of space bees.

What the gently caress is Terra Firma or Armada?

I'm trying to figure this out and I think what is happening is that what you are reading is a fictional story about the future. A future in which Star Citizen was a successful game but not as successful Terra Firma or Armada, currently non-existent games (moreso than Star Citizen) that the author is envisioning.

I don't know what we do, but there has to be a way to round these people up, or tag them in some way. Maybe like a star next to their name letting everyone know they are goons that way we can stay away? Don't they have their own clan? Should they be allowed on public servers with the rest of us or should they be tagged in some way so that we know who they are?

It's a promotional piece lying about the game existing. It needs to be corrected to say backers again. How the gently caress would there be 1m players in a game that doesn't exist?

Probably just deceptively counting people with Arena Commander access as "Star Citizen players".

In other news according to Youtube almost 39 million have seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens since it came out three nights ago.
