See? Thats what monocle cat meant.
You spend this money on all these games you never play or, at best, on games that you might finish in a dozen hours or so. And, pray tell, what happens once they're over? Nothing!
Had you spent invested in SC you'd have tons of ships to play around with, made tons of friends, posted several times fake whining on how much you've spent while boasting your new concierge certificate and, having spent invested close to 20k you could even have criticized* the project a bit every now and then.

*provided you open with "I love this game, CIG can take all the time they need and I've invested tons of money in this but..." otherwise it's a ban for you!

Catching up with thread after traveling for work and forgetting about Star Citizen for a while, and it's like absolutely nothing changed other than Chris somehow raking in even more money while showing even less progress on the game. It's like CIG is orbiting a black hole and time moves for them at a fraction of our rate. I can't wait for 2032 when Pyro is almost finished, and the max sever population increases to 55.

I'm getting a good laugh out of Chris' latest letter that was totally written by him and not 3 or 4 other people in an email chain and then bashed together by Jared.

IT ISN'T FOR CASH OR LONG TERM INSURANCE posted:

Ships are introduced to enrich the game.

CIG has been making good money and having good growth for a while now. There is no desperate grabbing for cash going on. Potential backers are often reassured that buying the game is enough and assets can be bought in game with game currency.

And LTI tokens are a strange made up idea. Go for it if that brings you joy, but understand that CIG have repeatedly said insurance won't be much of an expense compared to other costs like fuel, repairs, and munitions.

Enrich the game...sure...

He goes on with his org and role plays as 16th century pirates or something. He's got a starter package from the kickstarter and his org mates by him stuff and give him creds

I told him he needs to start streaming because he could make a shitload of money from idiots

If game development gets more complicated every 30 years, CIG have already burned 1/3 of their development window.

I wasted hundreds of hours on underpaying missions, crap nonsense fetcher gating good ships, and the worst paying mining.

I'm blown away with Star Citizen. I feel like my time is being valued. The mining pays well, and there's no nonsense. Affording the parts let's you equip them. Such obvious functionality, can't believe how much time I wasted on Elite.

If you play 100's of hours of any video game you shouldn't be allowed to speak negatively of it or give it a bad review.

Of course it's going to be boring to you at that point. But if it kept you there for that long, you got more than your moneys worth and had fun no matter what your late-game opinion is after playing that long.

That's dumb. Games like E:D receive content updates and patches over time so the kind of experience players have with the games can change for the better or worse.

I think this person might have never played ED.

You can make tens to hundreds of millions credits per hour mining in ED. The real grinds in ED are not credits. And blowing up asteroids while deep core mining is actually fun compared to SC's mining.

How is this:

Also E:D is almost 10 years old. It can soon be considered a retro game. It's a wonder it's alive at all given how bad :frontear: is with supporting it. I had hundreds of hours of fun with it years ago, but I don't think there's that many people who claim that it's the be-all and end-all of space games.
