Ah, apparently we have some new people in this thread, so I'd like to introduce you to Clifford aka miku aka SpearmintVR, a citizen who has spent a lot of money on Star Citizen, and is one of the few to show off the actual number. How much has he spent?

https://twitter.com/spearmintvr/status/1082723123823370240
Almost 58,000 dollars.

You know what else he could have done with all that money?
https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=514


He could have gone on a months-long cruise across the world and seen stuff that I would love to be able to experience and be jealous as gently caress about. There was another cruise that I can't find now that included dinner on a private game reserve in Africa that was also for less than he's spent on Star Citizen. Sometimes you need a sanity check to realize just how much loving money people have pissed away on a lovely pre-alpha Cryengine hack that pretends it's a space game.

my advice for this thread is to keep it more about the game and less about the private individuals supporting the game. things get weird when you start examining peoples personal lives and choices and mock that stuff instead of the bad game

Croberts will accidentally create Skynet that will bring upon a nuclear holocaust in order to stop all FUD.

the only damage a skynet created by this project will do is memory leaking all of the worlds computers to death

I would be very surprised if Chris were not under a strict gag order from the money people, with a ban on video appearances and all external written communications having to be screened, edited, and approved before publication. This would help explain the weird 'voice' of his spectrum posts. It is the roar of a muzzled Crobear.

everytime he speaks freely they run the risk of more feature creep and engineering debt or whatever the terms are

Even if you go back in time and buy up all the Bitcoin you can you might change history and prevent a big player from buying that same Bitcoin and driving the price up. You could accidentally prevent Bitcoin from ever taking off. Makes you think
