Nobody's mad, user. Just... confused, because the game that was announced a million years ago STILL isn't out.

Because it's a pyramid scam.

any minute now

>because the game that was announced a million years ago STILL isn't out.
The alpha came out ages ago and every patch improves the game. Are you bitching because the devs haven't used their wizard powers to make a game pop out of nowhere? Dumb faggot.
>Its a pyramid scam
How on earth is it a pyramid scam? Are you just saying words at random? Do you even know what one of those is?

>Because it's a pyramid scam.
that's a scam but it's not a pyramid scam

Say it with me, Money Laundering!

There's an actual game though

This is honestly a fucking cult. It operates exactly as a cult, and people in it act as sheep. Exactly like in cult.

Your barking in a tree if you think I give a shit.

it's a "fake it till you make it" scam that's grown far too bloated to ever make it, but the whales who are flinging money at it are in serious denial. The pic of the dinner that's been posted is almost nothing but neckbeards and boomers. I say almost because there was one chink cosplaying rich uncle pennybags.

What happens to people who just bought the $60 version. Will they be riding around in little space mopeds and horse drawn carts while getting bullied by space station guys

So is Star Citizen an actual cult now?

They'll be 60 dollars out of pocket, while the others will either be finding tall buildings to throw themselves from or desperately trying to launch class action lawsuits to recover anything they can.

Yes, but the cult will have you believe the game isn't pay2win, but it 100% is. Someone in a starter ship is going to get fucking destroyed by any of the single seaters in above tiers.

Why are we worried about kids spending money on lootboxes when boomers are even more easily exploited and manipulated?

The game has been in production for almost a decade and has consumed nearly $ 300 million, man. What is this idea of "pop out of nowhere"? Let me guess, you've already spent over $ 500 on this game. I hope you don't have women and children because they will lose all respect for you when they find out what you did, lol.

UGH FIDDLESTICKS

Sense of pride and accomplishment.

What game is in development for over a fucking decade? Jesus dude.

Duke Nukem Forever. And what a classic piece of software that was.

Not Star Citizen, that's for sure.

DNF was scrapped repeatedly, the final release it was in production for 2 years. Fucking retards up in this thread.

i don't get the picture

There really is no point to engaging with you cultists is there.

How is this laundering money if they're just throwing it away?
It's laundering money when you have a few millions you got from drug trafficking, and decide to build an apartment complex. Nobody knows how much you actually paid for the workers, and you can just bribe the sellers into lying about how much you paid for the materials. At the end you have an honestly built apartment complex that you can sell for honest money.
Or you can donate to some ambientalist NGOs, and bribe them into signing a paper that says you gave them more money than you're actually giving. The difference between the money you actually donated and the money you pretended to donate is new "honest money" you own.
Meanwhile, in scam citizen you "buy" a in-game ship of a game that will never be released, but your money is gone because that ship can't make you any real money.
How is this money laundering?

Lmao Jesus fucking Chirst people are fucking dumb

>Called out for your stupidity
>C-CULTIST
There are DNF cultists now? Go look up any info on the production of DNF, it was scrapped repeatedly, and the final product was the result of 2 years, it contained no assets or shit from past verisons (Which you can also look up and see, there has been multiple verisons made but never released).

Fucking brainlet, stop acting like a literal npc.

>They’re a literal cult.
Anything new? Did the sun come up today?

so 12 years in development? why did you thought that was a good point for you?

So how was the dinner? Was the few hundred bucks worthwhile to get a photo with your messiah?

What on earth are you talking about?

what's so special about this ship? it looks tiny. I thought you could buy really big star destroyers for less money in the game.

Why do people want Star Citizen to fail?

Schadenfreude

So star citizen has been scrapped and restarted multiple times?

why did you thought that was a good point for you?

So you'd rather have that than a successful Star Citizen?

so that their braindead backers get punished for their stupidity

>no u
nice one fag
and since when has SC been scraped and restarted again?

Yes because the base concept for Star Citizen isn't a game I am interested in and so I'll get more enjoyment out of it failing than any kind of success.

He's a retard who thinks you're defending star citizen. He might have autism

Mhm. And supposedly you didn't consider the effects on the games industry the game would have?

>now

I once pointed out that by the time star citizen was done we would have AI advanced enough to generate what they are doing within the span of a week or two. They didn't take kindly to that.

>game has the highest budget of all time
>been in development for a decade
>nowhere near done
>still grabbing money from its cultists
If this game ever comes out the tears will be amazing

How the fuck does correcting his dumb ass statement about DNF translate to defending a completely unrelated game? I fucking hate this place sometimes, real bunch of retards.

These pieces of art you can sell again though.
I want star citizen to succeed because it would be a really impressive game if they actually managed to fulfill their vision.
But the scope of the game balooned too much, it's a behemoth of complexity, and there's no way they will finish all this anytime before 2030.
So laughing at the losers throwing thousands of dollars away is the most fun this game will give me since I will never be able to actually play it.

A failure wouldn't be any worse than what it's doing right now. Right now all the development cycle is showing is that the industry is ripe for exploitation.

Selling out would become even more widespread since SC (Star Cult) showed how profitable it is. Literally no game would be made without early access, macrotransactions, real world money trade, investor bonuses... Gamers would forever be branded as the spineless whales they are, and every other audience would become marginalized. Games would become DLC receptacles that eagerly abuse human psychology to maximize profits, or in other words all games would become like mobile games.

Its 100% real.

Theres one ship thats the largest in the game which they boast costs over $200 in fuel to even leave the atmosphere of a planet.

This can't be real

You use ingame credits and the price to fuel small ships is nothing, the price for larger ships is equal to the larger tasks they can take on, balancing larger ships by not making it viable for a single person to use them for missions.

Real money doesn't come into it. I don't understand why you are trying to shitpost about such things when there are hundreds of perfectly valid things to bring up like $10.000 coffee machines.

It can't be because it isn't.

Fuel is 100% sold on the store.
Its just also sold in game at ludicrous prices so you can grind for fuel.

Yes, No Man's Sky really is an actual game.

Then you'll have no problem grabbing us a screenshot of fuel being sold on the store.

The developers need to find ways to finance their game, it's obvious. Just pay for it and enjoy flying a spaceship.
And DO NOT every question anything again or we will send you men in black suits.

Money like that is pennies when you have alot of it. You're just mad that you're poor.

I estimate that, if the devs put thwir noses to the grindstone and avoid jamming in the more goofy minor features, they could have the game ready within 3 years. That seems unlikely. This game was announced 2 console generations ago.

Star Citizen is a joke.
This Nautilus is nothing (though the combination with the event is probably what triggered people the most). Last year they sold a 1500 USD ship with nothing to show for it other than a few pictures. But at least that ship (Kraken) has some sort of point in the game, I suppose.
Right now, the 890 Jump luxury ship is available for testing. While big, very big in fact, it doesn't really add anything that other ships don't already provide. No new tech, no new gameplay, no new features. As a "luxury" ship it looks fancy, but from a development perspective it should eventually have the following features, of which none are present:
>pilotable from secondary "battle" bridge (no camera view)
>medbay (zero gameplay)
>bartenders/crew AI (no AI at all, there's not even functioning ground combat AI at all, let alone any other type of AI)
>ship-to-ship and ship-to-station docking
>escape pods and lifeboat
>cooking, bartending, food/drinks in general (supposed to be tied into some survival mechanic)
>automated point defense turrets
Basically, it's a fancy looking ship that adds nothing to the game other than the size. The only non-combat, non-transport ship function that has been added at all in the past few years is mining, which is rather simplistic. There's no salvaging, repairing, stealth, data hacking/encrypting, exploration, streaming/journalism, refueling, towing.
On the environment side of things, they added two planets that each have a small hub and not much else. There's moons with a few outposts, a handful of missions and a bit of straight-forward enemy pathing.

>Moving the goalposts
Okay so after looking through the store and finding that you cannot in fact purchase fuel, you're moving onto credits? Right. Well go ahead and be literally the only person who'd buy credits for fuel then to prove your point.

Fuel costs nothing, you can more than make enough in game to fund fuel costs, FAR more. Fuel may as well not exist.
>B-B-But it takes lots of fuel to land a big ship in planet!
Those aren't made for traveling in atmosphere, its why the large ships have hangers with small ships for plant shit.

But keep calling me a cultist, because all you're capable or willing to do is just shitpost aimlessly. Weird choice though, to shitpost about something that anyone who has played the game understands is bullshit, given there are plenty of things you can shitpost about and nobody would bat an eye like spending 10 grand on a door or 3 grand on a coffee machine, or being willing to use backer money to sue the escapist because they said meanie things robert didn't like. Guess those don't get the same amount of (you)s as acting like a retard though.

I periodically check in on SC every year or so in a can't help but watch a flaming trainwreck sort of way.
It's pretty much given at this point that they've already failed and will not be able to deliver on what they promised; even if they do, them being a laughing stock for so many years and all the bad PR they've garnered will make the game end up doing mediocre at best, before fizzling out soon after.

Sorry to invalidate your paranoia but it wasn't me before, disliking your shitty cult is pretty commonplace.

You really are desperate aren't you? Hiding purchases behind funbux (which are also locked to the game and cannot be converted back to real money easily) is standard kikery in games nowadays, that's how they all work.
>Fuel costs nothing, you can more than make enough in game to fund fuel costs, FAR more. Fuel may as well not exist.
Funny you say that because right after you say:
>Those aren't made for traveling in atmosphere, its why the large ships have hangers with small ships for plant shit.
Right, they aren't made for atmospheric travel thanks to fuel being very expensive if you do. So fuel does indeed matter, and I guess that they aren't made for atmospheric travel unless you buy fuel then, whales willing to put in the money can then land their big ships wherever the fuck they want.
>But keep calling me a cultist
Thanks I will.

>Right, they aren't made for atmospheric travel thanks to fuel being very expensive if you do.
No they aren't made for atomsopheric travel because of their mass, it takes them more than thirty minutes to leave some of the larger planets. It has nothing to do with fuel cost.

But continue to shitpost.

Can you get these ingame without spending real money?

>273 dollar dinner
>it's like a cheap restaurant or something
I was expecting like an actual banquet hall or something, like at a hotel.

If you think a $675.00 mine layer is ridiculous, thats a perfectly valid opinion, so don't buy the ship. You are not missing out, if its something you have to have then buy it in-game. Most of the ship prices in game will cost you maybe a few hours of missions for a $100 equivalent ship.

So is there anything that actually stops you from landing them on planets beside fuel cost and time, latter being basically meaningless anyway since you can just go make a cup of coffee?

The whales have made it very clear that they're willing to eat shit.

There seems to be two gameplay loops right now. Trading and killing traders. Traders are trying to perfect their ability to accrue massive amounts of in-game currency before launch and pirates are stream sniping and patrolling the most profitable outposts for said traders. It's pretty funny when you and your bros shoot down a ship full of high price cargo, and it sets back the trader for days.

Pvp dueling is kinda fun too, reminds me of armored core arena matches, and the fighter community really feels like a bunch of ravens. Add to that component and weapon customization and it has some extreme armored core vibes in that respect.

I'm sure you can, just grind for 400 hours. I'm sure the devs have made it as mind-numbingly boring as possible to make sure you just shell out, just like they did in Shadow of War before they patched out the microtransactions.

I don't play the game and won't touch it with a ten foot pole, but to me it also sounds like being able to land a big ship on a planet has huge advantages. First off, in terms of cargo, landing a big ship with everything on it will be better than having a shuttle go back and forth 10 times, both in terms of repetition and in terms of time. Secondly, according to what says, I imagine having your ship on the surface is a lot safer than just sitting in orbit waiting.

Why are the poor people always so anally devastated?

Never, since everyone on the inside is saying the real reason shit's going pear shaped is Chris micromanaging everything to hell and back, scrapping hundreds of man hours on a whim when devs fail to read his mind, and then constantly expanding the scope of the game even while falling miles behind on core features. In short, he's just ridiculously unfit for this job, it's not actually fraud.

No, but for ships that aren't designed for PlanetSide operation, they will become beached on the planet.

Man, i wish i was rich. I would threw away money and had fun from retards fighting over it AND even more fun from retards seething over me.

It looks like a school cafeteria.

Jesus Christ the delusion in this is insane. It’s basically a dude rambling about the spectacle of seeing a high fidelity city, and the freedom to do whatever within. Never mind the fact that it’s procedurally generated, and anyone with any sense knows that nearly everything he’s describing is poor game design. The poor souls that have sunk thousands into this.

The other day someone posted a 5 hour “gameplay” video that was little more than cruising a ship around and waiting in hyperspace

You can't even walk around on ships in No Man's Sky. Freighter doesn't count, you can't even fly that.

No, if you don't mind the wait time you can just go ahead and go in atmosphere, it would obviously cost more fuel but fuel is completely negetable, unless as I stated before you're a brainlet who is trying to make money to fund a large ship by doing small reward missions in a starter single seater. The biggest ships will take more than an hour to leave an earth-like planet, but also as stated earlier nobody will do this because these ships come with small ships inside for such things, and failing that you can use the player mission system to get a taxi.
General cargo can be delivered to anywhere, including space stations, so you're not going to need to taxi cargo back and forth into a planetary system unless the price is really worth it, in which case you'd hire an escort. Mission cargos meanwhile that require delivery to a planet you'd simply not use a giant capital ship for such things, you'd use a cargo ship that has more than enough for any mission of that type, while being able to get in and out of planets quick enough.

Your own fault for assuming it was ever an argument. The button to buy credits is right there on the webpage.

I wish it was everything its fans wanted and more. I spent the first years cautiously optimistic even as clear signs of resource mismanagement and feature creep were already seeping through the woodwork. But now that we know the project is already at the end of its budget and it's not even out of pre-alpha, it's time to just admit we've got a dumpster fire on our hands and get what laffs we can out of its desparate fans.

Your premise is contingent on the idea it's still possible SC will succeed.

>You act like any of this is good game design
Where in any part of my post did I claim it was good, or bad, game design? I'm simply telling people how things work. If you wanted my opinion, sure. I don't think its 'bad' design, but its not for me. Grinding from one rock to another doesn't interest me, I'm more interested in waiting for the single player.
Shut up retard I stopped paying attention to shitposts ages ago. Start samefagging to your posts or something if you're that desperate for attention.

Seething.

i didn't say stop

We'll probably get another five years of "Th-they're fixing it as we speak! Y-you can't expect a game this AMBITIOUS to just work at release!"

Bros, i can't fucking wait when it will all explode, i can't fucking wait for all those articles and angry people. I can't even wait for all those copy/paste roasting youtube videos. It's going to be glorious.

Notch's only problem is he's somehow beta enough to still be an incel even as a billionaire. Besides that, he's done nothing wrong and doesn't bother anyone. If you don't want to listen to him, just don't follow his twitter. He doesn't ask anything of anyone.

Chris Roberts is taking financial advantage of dumb boomers.

you got btfo, answer his question, has star citizen been scrapped and retarded multiple times? If yes, you've got a point, if not, you're a tard

When the game actually gets a public release, why would anyone play when there are going to be a bunch of whales flying around in ships that outclass anything you can afford to start with?

I have 500 dollars in and I want the project to die and Chris be held accountable. Tired of this bullshit.

The only people playing WILL be the whales.

They'll have no other choice because every other space-sim will be vastly inferior. It will be, in a word, epic.

Its doomed at its very core.
You have a core of whales that will likely dominate the game, and everyone will scream p2w and avoid It like the plague

Then the only ones playing it will be whales sucking eachothers off like a saudi arabian kid at a super rich yacht club

That is, if it ever releases properly and not Just remain forever in development state

Great game so far

A lot of the people who throw their money away on retarded shit like this don't seem very intelligent nor indeed very good with money.

So how do they have so much of it to throw away?

I know there's a case for complete omega males who literally do nothing in their lives outside of work and spending inordinate amount of money on their very specific hobbies - is that the case here?

Like they don't actually have good jobs they just don't spend their money on anything other than shit like this.

note: i'm not saying saving money is bad, but i'm saying this use of it isn't intelligent or good money management

Like will people just tell me to cope because I don't have the money to throw around?

Fair enough, I'm probably not great with money either, but investing in a clear scam is ridiculous. How many fucking hours do these retards think they'll be playing the game for? Imagine putting thousands into the game, then playing for about 50 hours before getting bored.

space sims are really niche, people will just play their 20 year old games like they already do

All you need is a good job and no kids/wife/real expenditures other than housing and food, you should save enough to put thousands into this shit each month

Hence why most faggots at that Restaurant were overweight boomers or near-boomerd

Again, what are you talking about? You're saying they need to merge stuff. They've already done that. Combat, first person combat, hangers and space/planets are all merged.

Its almost like you're basing your opinion on the game on an incredibly out dated (By more than a year) information. But that can't be true, that'd be silly.

You can keep pretending those actually work

with how much money the game has collected, how high the expectations are, and how long the development time is. its a recipe for shit to never leave alpha

There is more footage of it out now and it looks like wing commander level of comfy but it isn't out yet.

You have apologist defending them here, what makes you think it won't be worse in social media?

It's so clearly fucking insane that it is STILL going on, but I say good for them. Like, honestly, if you have that kind of money to blow for something only slightly more than the minimum for "tangible," do it. Who the fuck cares.

If "a fool and his money are soon parted," let the fool be parted with his money, and hopefully he ceases to be a fool. If he continues, shame on him.

Just look at this thread

Thanks for the money goys, we enjoy the $12,000 expresso machine.

Yeah, it probably needs some big name among normies calling them out. Someone like pewdiepie maybe, that would probably open their eyes.

I have waited for many trains. The anticipation is a central point of such classic works as Samuel Becket's Waiting for Godot. The train itself is a vehicle for a journey, and the journey is both means to the end as well as the end itself.

your math makes no sense. the 275 per retard most certainly pays off the dinner (and most likely includes some profits too, since they're dining in some shitty school).
thus they would at least make 675 per retard if not more

I have a friend that is about 600 € deep on this game , has about a half dozen ships for himself and also bought some 25€ years ago to give to us and try to entice us to check the game.

Regardless of everything else, wouldn't buy ships take away half the point of playing the game? What would you have to build up to if you just buy all the best shit from the getgo?

>has about a half dozen ships

Correction, user: he "has" nothing at all. Nothing more than a promise from a liar.

Art team includes the 3D models.

You get to roll around the game telling other players how you are a VIP because you supported the game. It's all about ego.

I keep seeing missions for stuff like "Haul 2000 tons of bio-waste to this station" and I wonder who are the people doing this stuff.

Don't get upset about this, it's a form a natural selection. Smart people are just siphoning money from dumb man children, there's nothing really wrong with it infact I'd argue that all paid cosmetics, microtransactions etc are a great thing because they limit the agency of retards who have no impulse control and benefit the programmers, artists, etc of today who actually have brains

>How is this money laundering?
>take illegal money
>buy a space ship for 12k from yourself using illegal money
>you now have 12k -tax in legal money

>, it's a form a natural selection.
It isn't because these people are all rich. They're not being selected.

No, because then, the entire industry shifts gears into making products designed to siphon those retards, and good games stop being made altogether.

Now you only need a retard to pay those 12k back for the ship
Good luck with that

It's just your typical gameplay loop. Do job -> get money -> upgrade gear -> do bigger jobs
I got it on sale and clocked 80 hours. I don't get the people who sink hundreds into it though.

>take illegal money

Why is fuel even a fucking thing in this game? Why would you add a mechanic that, at its very best, is an annoying nuisance that slogs the gameplay?

So this is going to be the thing that takes down Kickstarter, right?

>buy a spaceship FROM YOURSELF
you guys missed that part. you pretend to be an outsider buyer and give yourself 12k for a jpeg spaceship. you now have 12k legally.

Fuck off, retard. Roberts is a hack with no other source of income. Unless you believe he is a cocaine kingpin the money laundering line makes no sense.

Nah, this crap has outgrown kickstarter long ago
But it would teach a lesson to many I hope

yeah i personally dont think hes doing anything but i was just trying to explain how it would work to the brainlets

Auto-pilot helps. It's a great game to play while reading a book, or learning the guitar.

No, you have a fucking jpg, not an investment. You just threw money away

user, do you not know what money laundering is?

He is saying that Chris Robert is buying jpegs from himself.

are you dumb? how do you think laundromat and restaraunt money laundering schemes work? the guy who owns the businesses says "yeah customers totally bought 10,000 washes and 10,000 dinners thats how i got all this money". in order to create a valid papertrail they edit their books and create fake transactions buy selling crap to themselves.

Of course Chris Robert the famous Swedish mafia boss how could i forget

Yes, use dirty money in legal business that have a legal, free to use, return of the investment

at least direct them to the appropriate board, /pol/

Is it though? You're just seeing a number go up doing the same repetitive shit.

I made 'creative use of game mechanics' to lessen the grind significantly and got the money I needed to buy the best ships. There's fuckall you can do in the game with them. It was incredibly disappointing.

Even if they ever release the game, at this point they have inflated the prices of ships so much, I don't believe they can backtrack from making this shit hardcore pay to win. Players who only bought the base game will need to grind for a year for a high end ship or else the whales will cry.

I thought the mafia just liked having free pasta available.

Star Citizen is a social experiment to see how economic class disparity plays out in a virtual universe, and how long such a system can play out before collapsing.

Well yeah if it's Chris who is laundering money it would make sense.

Some user is really upset about SC right now aren't they? What's this like the 4th thread in 24 hours?

so this is about 63,000 dollars in this picture minimum?

You never know, maybe he's hiding it well.

chris roberts uses dirty money to buy products from himself and creates legal profits. what do you not understand here? he pays himself 12k for a spaceship. on the books he loses a spaceship and gains $12,000 dollars. he now has a legal, free to use, $12,000 dollars

Actually, yeah, I am mad. Because this is the type of shit that starts to spill over into the general audience and soon every video game will follow this trend.

>mad
I'm just baffled at the amount of money that keeps getting poured into a pre-release game that shows no sign of entering release status any time soon.

user, you're an illiterate

the premise is that the Star Citizen team is laundering money -- real people don't actually buy all these virtual ships at these prices, but if you run the money through your own business, whatever money you had before now has a "legitimate" origin (eg, game sales instead of literal scamming or drugs or whatever, doesn't matter, as long as the money wasn't obtained by legal means)

You know, normally I hate on these types of photos and stuff like everyone else but lookinh at it I realized something.

These are all normal probably straight white guys who are having fun and enjoying themselves and not the normal tranny angry bullshit you guys normally post. So how you gonna hate on that? Are you all trannies here?

The ironic thing about this image is that it’s more suited for Libertarian philosophies than leftist

Wont happen. The game will release and it will technically have all the promised features but even if it is good it wont live up to expectations.

You can actually arrange some decent events in those while keeping the costs down. This university club I used to hang around in arranged an anniversary party in one of the uni cafeterias since they had a catering service for events, the dinner part was less than $50 a pop including full service and some decently good food and plenty of drink, the staff even spruced up the place to hide its cafeteria origins. It wasn't anything really fancy but still a damn good time, especially considering how much was included in that price.

$275 for that is just absolutely remorseless in comparison. He just laid down the absolute barest minimum for it to be considered a "dinner".

Join a more powerful cult and make them jealous.

>will technically have all the promised features
yeah no

he said "technically'.

imagine the smell

and I said "yeah no"

Elder Scrolls

both marxists and capitalists are materialists
they just disagree on who should control what

name one feature and I'll tell you how easy it is to technically have it

It all stems from the lack of religion which is very much a modern leftist pillar.

Despite how long it has been in production, I though it would come out before Bannerlord entered early access.

So, there really are people stupid enough to buy whatever a corporation sells to you and worst of all, will defend it wholeheartedly

Pathetic

Oh, i'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying they won't fucking do it, or they will "scale it down".

youll see and use literally every single one of those lmao. thats literally the difference

Which is technically having it.

Profits.

man, you made me miss college.

Yeah but you won't have a million acres of space land so you can't be a space feudal king from day one and will be forced to do space labor for enjoyment!

There must have been a Jew or several involved in the orchestration of that.

N-no! Y-you're a tranny!

paypig lmao

Maybe not, but I'll still have a full bank account and an intact sense of self-respect.

I live in my home
I eat my food
I wear my clothes
I drink my alcohol
And fuck my whores

You still cant play with your digital space ships

That's not how it works. Promising X and then delivering Y saying "by the way we changed X with Y" doesn't mean they TEKHNICALLIE have X.

Try phrasing it differently and I may agree.

Still better than a Smash tournament

Club activities are honestly the absolute best part of student life, you get the chance to do so much wonderful stuff you'd probably never get a chance to see otherwise. I really should go hang out at the ol' clubroom again, I've still got a bit of studying left.

SC proves that you can promise anything and nobody asks questions.

Is critical thinking dead? No I don't want to have faith. I want receipts.

>tfw I know someone who defends SC

He really doesn't want to come to terms that he been scammed

Atheism was a Mistake
It causes people to find ''''''''''''''''''''alternatives''''''''''''''''''''' which lead to spiritual dead ends and corporate bait and switches

Okay, imagine if Roberts promised alien factions. Now, I haven't actually looked at Star Citizen's roadmap in what feels like a decade, so maybe he has and maybe he hasn't. Regardless, if at some point in development he realizes he can't actually make interesting ayys, he decides he'll technically still have alien factions by having a couple of small alien encounters in the game world. It's not what anyone imagined or wanted, but it's technically the truth.

ushiro. but at least level-5 isn't begging for kickstarter money.

people who bought with real money get ship insurance so they never really lose them

Point them toward EVE. At least when they blow thousands of dollarydoos on ships there, they can say they had them at one point.

Not going to happen because even in worst case scenario, they run out of funds and release a broken beta as the finalized product. And as long as they do that, they can't be sued since they did deliver on the "promise."

>$1000 ship purchase to be eligible
>$275 to attend
>not even a black tie event

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Hi I'm Chris Roberts I haven't made a successful videogame in 20 years. I completely fucked up my last game Freelancer.
Now give me LOTS OF MONEY. Because reasons.

this made me sad :(

>Potatomoto
oh yeah this comic is circa back when Miyamoto was actually doing things

majority of people forgot about this game in 2012 after it was first revealed. this game has no place in 2019.

there's at least a few possible trannies in that picture

Maybe furries but the trannies don't have interest.

Dwarf Fortress (still not finished)

You could play it all the time. though.

That's not how money laundering works. If you wanted to launder money with a business, you would just report more revenue than you actually made, padding the difference with dirty money. You wouldn't do something stupid like buy overpriced goods/services from yourself, because that's an unnecessary tax double-dip at best and an obvious paper trail at worst.

It actually astounds me how illiterate Yea Forums is about scams and schemes in their dimwit attempts to make SC anything other than an obvious fundraising scam.

It triggers peoples impulse decision making, which is basically how you do stupid things like sleep with that girl from that weird party you went to with a friend and now you may or may not have herpes but you're too afraid to go to the doctor to get it looked at because you don't wanna confirm what you already know deep down inside oh god what have i done

Well, at least I didn't buy into star citizen :^)

I generally block channels like this just off the title and thumbnail and never have to watch them or see them

How new are you to life, user? Tons of people are fucking dumb.

>wake up

THE REVOLUTION

...THE FUTURE....

IS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA

actual cultist

No that really does count as fraud, major incompitence is not something that gets you out of it. If people were cabable of delivering what they promise then pyramid schemes wouldn't be frauds. And this is not different anymore, they are basically funding a pyramid scheme now that bases its income on something they promise will be delivered soon except the money is used to run things as they are now instead of used in something that would produce something in the future.

>hehe, maybe if I act like paying for food, clothing and housing is just as stupid as paying thousands on an IOU with a video game spaceship scribbled on the front, people won't notice that that's completely retarded on the face of it

Wish I didn't read this. I'm emotionally unstable and easily swayed. Day is ruined, shitty, depressing story. Why would somebody make this.

Pyramid schemes are fraudulent because anyone capable of creating a pyramid scheme knows full-well that the promises made are impossible to fulfill.

Also, I have no idea how SC could be considered a pyramid scheme. I'm not convinced you know what a pyramid scheme is, or else you're using "basically funding a pyramid scheme" in some of the loosest terms possible.

How the fuck do you not know if you have herpes?

>Pyramid schemes are fraudulent because anyone capable of creating a pyramid scheme knows full-well that the promises made are impossible to fulfill.

christ. the ability to verify or fact check anything your about to say has literally never been closer and yet, complete fuckwads still manage to post shit like this.

>Intact sense of self-respect.
Be honest with yourself. Do you really have that?

mate, google variations of herpes. something like 1 in 4 people have a version of herpes. its just what type.

>download JPEG of a spaceship
>photoshop a random explosion onto it lmao
