Hi new thread & posters! One of my favorite little bits of Star Citizen development bell is the use of backer money to pay streamers to pay this piece of poo poo and give them free ships to gently caress around in:

“Full fledged” PVP... of 20 people gathering around one spot and shooting each other. Yeah. This is where your backer dollars are going now. Also, now you can pay real money for a physical card to show how elite you are as a part of his crew:

Y’know, if you weren’t one of the lucky ones to get a physical steel card to show off just how much money you dumped into Star Citizen.

The funniest part to me is either the picture is too lovely to let my phone scan them or those QR codes don't go to anything.

I think they’re all the same code? Because, y’know, in the future, QR codes will finally take off.

Relevant to this thread, but I found a 15 year podcast clip archive that is 95 minutes long coverring the development hell of Duke Nukem Forever. Here's the most relevant part: (@9:50)

It's incredible just how hard history can repeat itself.
