Scam Citizen is literally sunk cost fallacy on a massive scale.
Ridiculous levels of power creep combined with insane real life cash amounts for ships. Basically it's a space game for autistic millionaires.
It will never come out. Ever.
This is what games as a service really means.
No you don't understand, he just needs maybe another 100 million and it'll be done!
>We need to kill billions to save millions
Can someone give me the basic gestalt on this game?
Also what’s the most some Redditor has spent on a ship?
It's not a game, dipshit.
It's a universe.
>Also what’s the most some Redditor has spent on a ship?
I think it was 25k $
>randomly chatting to mum while making tea the other day
>"those video game companies...they're not very nice are they?"
>apparently her and dad had been watching some very mild expose on the news, maybe to do with crunch times or something
It's so depressing that this is what's happened. So tiresome.
it just works.
The most expensive package was $28,000 if I recall, and at least a few of them sold.
This was even before there was anything playable.
The game is playable.
It's buggy and limited but there is something there.
How long before it's revealed to be a giant money laundering scheme?
>300,000,000 and 7 years
This man should be fucking sued into oblivion and shut down
look at what people buy in games these days. season passes, early access, kickstarters, dlc, cosmetics. not a surprise someone was able to milk those same gullible dumbfucks for 300 mil on nothing but a promise and a barebones demo.
a fool and his money are easily parted.
This nigga is building a real space ship with that money?
>It may seem silly, but there are real victims. Ken Lord is a 39-year-old data scientist from the Denver area, who suffers from worsening multiple sclerosis. Lord first backed Star Citizen in 2013 and eventually spent $4,500 buying spaceships. Last year, Lord unsuccessfully sued Cloud Imperium for a refund. “You take something that is bad, like spending too much money on a video game, and turn it into a socially exclusive club and make it desirable—cheers to their marketing department,” he says. (Bizarrely, Lord, who claims to have “poor impulse control,” continued to buy more spaceships after his lawsuit failed.)
>continued to buy more spaceships after his lawsuit failed
Kek
>continued to buy more spaceships after his lawsuit failed
the absolute madman
Everyone who has ever spent on a penny on this shit deserved what they get. Fucking retarded.
theres more of these but i forgot to save them
>Says he's making a game about space ships
>Is actually making a space ship
>SO LONG SUCKERS
kino ending
Scam citizen is the greatest caper of our time. The fyre festival of videogames.
Is it even good for fulfilling that autism for walking around and exploring in really cool spaceships with lots of technical details? Or is even that unfinished? I dream of a game that lets me customize my own personal starship by buying new parts and furnishings off the market, and seeing all the visual changes that creates
What a fucking retard I bet he posts on reddit
>The fyre festival of videogames.
It truly is.
Star Citizen is unironically going to be the next WoW.
No, becoming a Mary kay sales rep is a better use of your autism and money than buying this "game".
There are a couple of smallish spaceships you can walk around in. Literally 2-3 rooms plus a cargo bay.
can only see weapons right now
you can buy all sorts of parts but there isnt much point right now and earning the money isn't that engaging.
I had a work friend try to get me to spend money on it. Honestly he sounded like a scientologist trying to get me into his damn cult.
a piece of shit?
People give him money for jack all, these are the same people who actually donate money to webcam sluts
Go away, Ben.
gtfo newfag
what a cuck
literally never heard anyone being interested and hyped for this game
who is their target audience?
They aren't wrong. Being a game dev is shit. Bad pay, hard work and for what? To make some retarded videogame who's director is likely a shithead idiot who was inspired by garbage like doom or quake.
So is Star Citizen just Idea Bloat: The "Game"?
and the great thing is that they will face absolutely NO reprecussions for all of this
it's entirely the fault of the absolute retards who funded and continue to fund this nightmare
That would be actually hilarious.
I don't
>I trust the validity of forum posts.
You should stop doing that.
I mean for fucks sake man you obviously post here, why would you believe anyone online with that in mind?
The human food chain will have collapsed and a select few will be living in bunkers when SC comes out. Gen Subterranean will have plenty of fun before resistant infections wipe them out.
How can this guy be considered a "victim"?
It's the same as saying that the woman who goes naked every week in the men's locker room to have group sex with the whole hockey team is a rape victim.
My friend is and he even donated 50€ couple of years ago. I laughed my ass off when he told it to me and he hasn't spoken of the game since. He's pretty well off, so that's not a lot of money for him. But still... kinda makes me question his judgement.
Except the only thing that got raped were peoples wallets.
Who has this kind of money?
I honestly don’t understand this. People who have that type of disposable cash didnt get that amount of disposable income from doing stupid this like spending on shit like Scam Citizen. Who the fuck are these people?
>game
>Mandalore video about star citizen in 2016
>I have a feeling star marine will show up soon
>It's still not fucking out
The ride never ends. I spent 20 bucks on some mustang ship and I've gotten well beyond my enjoyment from this fucking shitshow. I hope it makes 300million more
>people don't get this kind of disposable income by being stupid.
That's some huge implying there buddy.
>The Fyre Festival of vidya
An apt description. Amazingly this one might end up being an even bigger shitshow, and Fyre was such a gigantic shitshow already.
My Asian friend into space shit spent like $1,000 on his fantasy ships years back, What a waste of money.
>thanks for the money scrubs.
Absolutely based, all those that got suckered by this guy deserve it.
Fucking lmao
Probably telling themselves (and SO) they'll be able to sell them for more later when the game gets popular.
I don’t think I’ve ever met a wealthy dumbfuck. People don’t get rich being stupid... or do they? Are these the sons of oil barrons or something?
>Bizarrely, Lord, who claims to have “poor impulse control,” continued to buy more spaceships after his lawsuit failed.
It's a fucking cult, user
He keeps getting money in the same way the church of scientology keeps getting money
I've met plenty of well off people who you can comfortably say are literally fucking retarded. Most of these are fucks leeching off their wealthy parents but retards lucking their way into lucrative jobs are definitely not out of the question.
>tfw you lived long enough to see the rise of the first vidya cult.
>Star Citizen developers & fans will have a Waco, Texas style shootout in your lifetime.
Where the fuck did this time-line drop me off?
Still confuses the fuck out of me, to be honest with you familiar.
This probably isn’t too far from the truth.
Trust fund kiddies. They live in mansions, have serving staff, have never worked a day in their life, and are invariably broken people trying to fill the void in their soul with any sense of meaning and purpose they can, including buying into a cult masquerading as a vidya.
>game
There are a lot of people who are very skilled and display excellent cognitive abilities in one area, but they make moronic decisions in other areas. Many scams and startups make their money off people with more disposable income than sense.
Just take a look at this.
en.wikipedia.org
Some literally who con artist scammed a shitload of rich people out of millions by making up a story about how he was going to throw a totally epic party on some island.
>continued to buy more spaceships after his lawsuit failed.)
Absolutely based.
>broken people trying to fill the void in their soul with any sense of meaning and purpose they can
I try to tell myself this as a way to cope being a wagie but the truth is everyone wishes they could be a trust fund babby
I paid 40 bucks for the standard package a couple years back. I've pretty much lost hope for the game. It takes them 6 months to push out updates. I've watched their dev videos and honestly it's just fucking insulting. Every video is basically:
>hai geuys, thanks for tuning into the new dev update. Here's a new gun we've been working on for a couple years, we're reworking this ship that was already flyable 3 years ago, also look at this city that we've been working on for 5 years
Meanwhile anytime they show the actual developer areas there's only like 3 or 4 autists sitting in a room filled with dozens of $5k computers. What the fuck are these people actually doing at their """jobs""""??? Finish the game you fucking autismos.
>PROTECT THEIR COFFEE MACHINE IF IT FAILS HOW WILL THEY PRODUCE OUR GAME
If it's not a game then why is this thread on Yea Forums?
Fuck off.
Please dont talk about shit you dont know antrhing about. Thats not what happened with fyre festival
>Rich people
The standard ticket price was around twelve hundred dollars, and it was supposedly for two weeks on a luxury all expenses paid vacation in the bahamas. It wasn't exclusively rich people, it's a common piece of misinformation about fyre festival that ticket prices were twelve thousand, but that's not true.
The guy was a college dropout that managed to to grift investors for a shitload of funding so he could start some ill fated company. He then used his previous failure as a springboard to start another ill fated company that scammed even more people.
McFarland borrowed as much as $7 million in an effort to fund the festival, taking one loan with an effective annualized rate of 120 percent.[23] The lender sued, alleging McFarland defaulted on the loan. Among those named as investors who supposedly loaned McFarland $4 million was NY socialite and entrepreneur Carola Jain
Well, yeah. Then you're in the same scenario except you don't have money. One is an objectively superior situation, for sure. I wasn't making a value judgement, I was just explaining where all the invisible twatfucks who keep on throwing money at this bullshit are at.
Being a broken person with money is better than being a broken person without money.
The Vietnam of video games.
Not everyone capable of being paid well or saving income is a smart spender.
it was just a door made of plywood, but apparently they spent $20,000 on it
>Bizarrely, Lord, who claims to have “poor impulse control,” continued to buy more spaceships after his lawsuit failed.
Is it really a bad thing to rinse these people?
>Rush shirt
You can't make this shit up
You can just see that nagging hint of buyer's remorse in his eyes and smile. I wonder how bad he looks now?
>that "look at this loser" face
lmao
inherited
>en.wikipedia.org
This is a good read but the organizers genuinely sound dumber and more taken in by themselves than the people they screwed over.
>"Let's just do it and be legends, man,"
Duckduckgo mobile whales. A small percentage of people can be hooked into these games and be fleeced of tens to hundreds of thousands. Most are not rich, they just devote everything they have to the one end of the game.
you can call this guy a cuck all you want, he obviously is, but legally he should be entitled to a refund on a product that doesn't fucking exist and said it would come out in 2012. Like it's fucked that he lost this lawsuit for a fucking refund on a pre-order. What the fuck? Look past his cuckery long enough to see that at least
>2015
He rain made them.
>This man should be fucking sued into oblivion
he should be given an award for making people buy 100k dollar jpg's
>People with old money
>Successful people who buy lots of shit and then don't use it
>Rich Nerds with Stem Degrees and good jobs
can somebody post the porn his wife did? ive heard about it but never seen it
Its jumped up retarded 'new middle class', people who did a degree in computer programming and maybe make $120k a year, live by themselves and have no hobbies, so therefore find themselves with a reasonable amount of disposable income that they don't know what to do with. Probably within the 25 to 40 age range. Also I'm not projecting, I'm happily married and computer illiterate.
Holy shit imagine not being woken up by this image alone.
Well of course. I'd rather be sad with money than sad without money that is if I was sad, however.
It's an e-cult. Just like Yea Forums.
Pushing all the nerd's buttons
>you, yes (You) can play as Han Solo in this Universe™
>look at all those features there will be woah look at those aliens *comes closer to mic* man these things could tear to to shread
>and there's gonna be pee vee pee and epic battles just like galactica
>also did I mention it's a UNIVERSE™ in which you can be SOMEONE PWOERFUL jusy like in Eve
Look at all the open world crafting survival pvp shit from 7 years ago, literally the same formula and promises.
I wouldn't call sc backers cucks because they may get to choose the guy that'll fuck their wife, they're literally giving away money and maybe get to play after literal chastity
I'd be sympathetic if the story ended with his lawsuit failing. That he continued to but more spessships AFTER the lawsuit failing, though, that's cuckery on the grandest scale I just can't look past.
>4chin
>cult
If calling each other a faggot and lacking any sense of solidarity or even a hint of leadership is characteristic of a cult to you then yeah.
They support my cognitive bias so of course they're true
people weren't woken up by washington elites talking about eating babies and calling them sluts on instagram
if reality is too painful or bizarre people just refuse to accept it
Pyramid scheme combined with a cult
>On June 12, 2018, McFarland was charged with selling fraudulent tickets to events such as the Met Gala, Burning Man, and Coachella while out on bail.
The madman.
