Do you guys want to harvest a lot of tears in a real game, soon? Like, with goons who already know the game and want to teach you and want to help everyone harvest the maximal amount of tears?

Join us for Albion. The combat isn't amazing, but the community is hilariously thin skinned and we have had a lot of fun so far.

Have we started predictions on Citcon yet?

I predict a new funding campaign to pay for celeb VA. Each funding level will have additional talent added to the game.

We already have Mark Hamill, who else do we need? Brendan Fraiser?

Oh, tomorrow is CitCon. I'm going to bed early so I can be up bright and early ready for the shenanigans. Follow my Twitter feed as I'm going to be trolling them through the whole thing.

in an effort to figure out wtf star citizen is, i just read most of this thread and something like 15 articles on this game's development and controversy and this became pretty much teh best day of my life as a result

what i don't understand is how they could've actually burned through all that money without periodically confronting psychologically & existentially its inevitable backfire. like, did they just have an ivan karamazov plan after their money ran out? were they going to jim jones CIG? or did they think they were going to be able to crowdfund indefinitely by using the money they received to market for even more donations into hellish ouroboric lunacy???
