If this isn’t a money laundering outfit in plain sight...
The star citizen subreddit is a whole kind of crazy. There you can find arguments such as 'do you go to doctors and complain that curing cancer is taking so long? this has never been done before'.
Aren't you always the one defending your purchase in these threads?Every time a thread or article about Star Citizen's funding comes up, it's not the money that makes me facepalm, but the comments.
Some people simply aren't able to understand that people will spend money on what makes them happy. For some it's a car, for some it's a pool, for some it's a cruise in the Caribbeans, for some it's fancy dining, for some it's big collector's editions of their favorite media, and for some, it's a starship in the video game they have wanted since they were kids. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of that.
And then there's the fact that money has a different value for different people. For me, buying a single heavy fighter in Star Citizen when heavily discounted (which costed less than the FFVII Remake's 1st class edition) is something that took several days of deliberation and giving up something else (which incidentally is exactly the aforementioned 1st class edition):
For others, spending over $1000 for a Carrack is a drop in the ocean of their income, and maybe they'll just skip a couple of fancy dinners to make it up. If that's what makes them happy, more power to them.
I'd say by now the only way to keep everyone on the development team paid is to continue selling these shops to whales, and the sunk cost fallacy has enveloped the revs and the customersI'm just waiting for the house of cards to inevitably collapse and watch the fallout with some chips and soda.
the release of the Drake Complete Pack 2950, a bundle of 14 ships which sold for $4,600.
This can’t be real. Tell me it’s money laundering. I refuse to believe that someone actually paid that high amount for pixels.

lol you coming into everyone of these threads arguing with anyone says a lot more about your salty feelings than your empty post about how "satisfied" you are.My purchase doesn't need defending. it's given me more fun than most AAA games by now.
Simply offering a balanced point of view that appears to be missing when some see a big number out of context. You're welcome.

"My purchase doesn't need defending" says passive aggressive person who shows up to every Star Citizen thread to defend his purchase to himsefl and demoan the people mocking the hilarious spending on digital ships.My purchase doesn't need defending. it's given me more fun than most AAA games by now.

Right.
I don't know how some of you people are able to regurgitate the same lame jokes in every single SC thread.. ANYWAY, for those of you who are genuinely interested, here's a new video from Cobra TV explaining a little about what you can do, talking a little bit of the dev process, and showing a bit of "Microtech" which is one of the planets in the universe. People appear to have a great deal of fun, and it's already "deep enough" to give an experience. I love the 64 bit universe and mechanics, it's a game changer for these types of games.
So you dont want this game to come out bc by the time it does the tech isnt going to be the newest anymore? what? lmaoThis game will never come out. At least I hope it doesn't really. Why? It'll never be what they want it to be. Tech isn't going to wait around for them. Their graphics engine gets more and more outdated every year. I'm over SC tbh.
Fuck those guys>that one guy that has to make like 10 posts defending this shit

Theres alot of tech in this game that currently only exists in THIS game and visually it still looks way better than most games out there.
Does a good job of showing how much is in the game currently.
Will this ever release?
