I watched the FPS demo for Star Citizen from last year at PAX, is that actual game play? Did that whole project get canned?

I know someone personally who has 5,000 dumped into this garbage. I tried to explain to him at 250 it was a rip off and over the course of 3 years I guess they have suckered him into more. At first he called it an "investment", but I explained to him an investment entails some kind of return on his money. I explained to him refunds were entirely possible if you threaten a chargeback, but his faith in Chris Roberts hasn't wavered. Angry Joe is his primary source for video game reviews, and I finally made the connection tonight. The hiding purchases from spouse and neglecting household bills is a very real thing. All I can do is stand by and watch. For some reason Star Citizen is an all consuming thing with people.

I am of the opinion that crowdfunding is poo poo and early access is toxic to video games as a whole.

I hope Derek Smart burns CIG to the ground.

I told the streamer it was down for maintenance when the launcher wouldn't work. Crisis averted.

Has anyone mentioned the post from Lando in the VIP forum about making poor decisions with money? I think it was in relation to buying back ships for Star Citizen fun money or some poo poo. I saw a true believer lose hope for a second over that. But only a second.
