the real scary thing are the hardcore backers who have given so much money and still continue to give it money and if you try to wise them to the fact that this shit is a scam they get scary defensive and cultish. I'm sure many of the people that do this honestly already had some issues but damn did this game find its target audience in terms of crazily devoted fanbase.

I played it a couple weeks ago

game's fun but i can't run it well at all

I wonder how much of that 300 mil hes got stored offshore

So how many suicides are we gonna get when they announce the game is cancelled? Isn't there one guy that mortgaged his house just to get a premium space ship?

This is what I've wondered, is he just hoping to make cash for a while then it doesn't matter if everyone hates him? Or does he genuinely think he'll be able to make it worth the wait?

He was investing all the capital raised into bitcoin but kept holding off dumping until too late.

He's a scammer. He surely already secured enough money to spend the rest of his life even if everybody hates him.

A repeat of Freelancer: To drag it out so long that someone bigger has to come in and cut down all the ambition just to get a product on the shelves so he doesn't have to be the bad guy

If I had to guess I'd say he's a perfectionist, but the worst kind and one that's impossible to work with because he just has to have his grubby little fat fingers in every single aspect of the work and slows development to a crawl. He seems far too autistic to be self-aware with that stupid fucking honking laugh he does when shit goes wrong during live demos. UHHUHUHUHH

You know with that amount of money and time put in I think some people would've been able to actually make it into space.

Correct. He has a track record of being a controlling egotist and it's probably no different with star shillizen

Destiny had a release date

Space engine tops scam citizen and it's free.
I would honestly feel better giving money to scientology than this abortion of a game.

Destiny is also a completely different and absolutely gutted game from what it was supposed to be. Both games have been completely rewritten a year to 6 months before release and then chopped up even more for DLC and Eververse bullshit.

Nice goal moving mate.
So it really was supposed to come out years ago right? I mean, delaying a game a few months happens. But delaying a game several years after it was already delayed is pathetic for any studio that takes itself seriously.

And the best part is that the game doesn't even look that great anymore for current standards. When it's released...IF it's released, its graphics will already look old. Or maybe they will just delay it again to improve the graphics huh? Kek

I almost feel bad for you.

>So it really was supposed to come out years ago right?
2014 was their original window.

SC had me sold when they showed the working transit system. My jaw dropped to floor when you, the player, can miss a train by seconds and then have to wait for the next train to arrive! It's crazy good and captured one of my favorite aspects of the real world. The game just looks FUN.

>roadmap with reachable goals
Yet they don't reach it.
And what did they actually accomplish in 2018 (and 2019 so far) that matters?
They created two planets with extremely small cities with nothing to do, a handful of ships (same shit different looks), and some "tech" that ultimately doesn't change the way a game plays so may as well be a waste of time entirely.

doubt that lol

But that's not even 'star citizen', thats just the single player

STEP ONE: DENIAL

Shut up, Chris.

So what is this game expected to be? Is it trying to be the next EVE, and the early backers are just trying to get in before all of the corporations get too uncontrollably huge? As far as every single piece of information has shown me, this is a Space...game. It's got dogfighting, on-foot city exploration, economies, and a lot of big, flashy spaceships, and nothing else is coherent or makes sense beyond it essentially getting the Todd Howard treatment without the Bethesda release schedule.

Scam citizen is the biggest joke in the industry. Reminder that Roberts started working on it in 2010 and it was supposed to be released in 2014. It's gonna be 2020 in 5 months.

No, it was in the paper issue you delisuional backer

how much did you pledge?

fuck outta here lucas

pledge? nothing.
Invest? 120 euro.

Predictions?
>It's going to come out, be a buggy and unplayable mess that the devs never fix, and then everyone will forget about it in a couple months and the player count will tank to zero.

Real development started in 20__

in what decade?

They got me for 65 burger bucks. It's not a lot of money to me at all but Jesus fucking Christ this far into development and this is what they have to show for it. I'm willing to lose the money just to shit on it at this point.

Based Derek Smart was right all along

Realtalk though. As a contract dev, I can tell you that piecing together a $300m game is way beyond the scope of some kickstarting daydreamer. Something like that requires experience and a solid plan before a dime is spent. I imagine the people behind Star Citizen have spent 20% of their budget simply trying to organize the project. Bringing in outside consultants and specialists that know how to sort out everything they have on their plate. People like Bethesda, Rockstar, and EA already know this scene and probably spend like 2% on the battle plan.

Attached: mfw.png (559x586, 81K)

Realtalk though, giving 300M to the village idiot probably is too sad to be funny.

>Ken 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, Ken Lord, who claims to have “poor impulse control,” continued to buy more spaceships after his lawsuit failed.)

I still kinda want to play it...

Chris Roberts is a hack who knows nothing about software development. The core software requirements change every 4 months.

His last game was going the same way but Microsoft kicked him out at the right time and pieced together something coherent.

It all comes down to who donated. If the King donates 100k you laugh, if poor widow Jones donated her last thousand dollars because she wanted to leave a legacy for her son it's tragic.

This project has plenty of people who were stupid enough and rich enough to lose it all and still be valid targets for ridicule.

Elite Dangerous is probably the most shallow game in years, perhaps surpassed only by No Man's Sky.
Star Citizen is going to suck immensely if it ever comes out, but Elite Dangerous isn't any better as a game - it just didn't have the development scam that SC has

>e621

I'm astounded at the level of organization furries have. It's like an intellegent mind virus. Still gonna wank though

What is e621, besides the e-code for sodium glutamate? I'm sorry I'm genuinely retarded,.

Yeah, plenty of people want to talk about how stupid shit is once they realise they got taken for a ride. Once bitten, twice shy.

With the recent phenomenon of 'preordering' games, companies have cut to the chase and monetized desire itself. It might seem counterintuitive, but you can see this taken to a logical extreme with Star Citizen. The 'fun' comes from endless desiring. This is why it's often totally shattering when a hyped game is actually released. Remember the lead-up to Doom 3? The act of playing the actual game is totally vestigial to all this.

Since the games are not actually fun, games journalists 'enjoy them for me.' A 9/10 review functions like a sitcom's laugh track - a pavlovian trick to tell you that, against all evidence, fun has been had. That's why you see ridiculous outrage and death threats when Toy Story 3 drops below 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.com, or when the latest Zelda only gets an 8.5. A lower score actually makes the experience less fun, because the journalist did not adequately 'enjoy it for me.'

Gamers know full well that games never live up to the score, but that has never phased them because - it bears repeating - the actual gameplay is totally vestigial. It's an open secret, because gamers are satisfied with it. Mountain Dew is garbage, and everyone knows it, but gamers drink it anyways. Same situation.

Based, red- and mayhaps dilatepilled

An unusually large percentage of furries are from technical fields, so its not unsurprising that they would carry their autism into organising their porn.
I only wish the rest of the world understood the importance of a good tagging system.

The remarkable thing is that the gamer sees basic supply and demand as an expression of the people's will. We demand Sonic the Hedgehog, therefore corporations are at our mercy. They must supply what we demand, right?

However: DLC is perhaps the purest form of supply and demand - a means of artificially limiting supply, allowing for inflated prices because gamers have an overwhelming desire to endlessly preorder virtual spaceships. The gamer should be overjoyed but, instead, he declares this a conspiracy by degenerate artists (jews) to 'castrate' society.

Why the contradiction?

Despite the complaint, the message is that the gamer could tolerate DLC if it's for something he desires. DLC is bad, and we all hate it, but it's tolerably bad if it leads to spaceships and noscope headshots. That logic of corporations giving us Sonic because we threw a fit is still present. DLC is, however, utterly intolerable if it leads to a lesbian reading a poem or something. That would be "someone else's agenda" (jews). They're now supplying something we never demanded and, worse, "someone else" is amassing the enjoyment.

In other words, the terrifying threat to gamers is that they will stop desiring games, losing the urge to spend retarded amounts of money on them. That's the apocalyptic scenario where the hobby can, actually, die. That's the "castration": shutting down your Steam account.

>what is fun
Spaßgesellschaft, or 'Fun Society', is a society in which work is not considered a part of one's identity but simply a means to accumulate money - to be spent on 'self-actualization' through entertainment, hobbyism, and other forms of consumerism. This fantasized 'self-actualization' doesn't actually happen - it certainly doesn't happen as a result of videogaming - and that's why gamers are now in a tizzy.

As written before, gaming is not actually about playing games, but about desiring them. It's an endless pursuit of an impossible fulfillment, which companies capitalize on by providing novelty. That's the fun.

With the 'mainstreaming' of videogames, there is no longer an excuse for the inability to 'self-actualize', and there is consequently no pleasure in gaming. Back when videogames were deemed only for (man)children, there was an effective prohibition against gaming that made it a somewhat pleasureable transgressive experience. That pleasure is now dwindling. Thousands of games can be downloaded for free in minutes, and they're being played by grandma on the bus. With all this available to you, why aren't you having fun? Why aren't you 'self-actualized'?

Gamers are being confronted with the fact that games are not fun, and have never been. So, terrified of losing their desire, they compensate by imagining a conspiracy where their potency is being sucked from them by liberal jew-feminists.

I honestly wish I could get my money back, 10 years and not even close to being a final product is retarded.

I even used one of the ships that was made for it but rejected so put up for sale. Even though ultimately they win because they got 300million, on some small level I feel like I cucked them.
