Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

[mitochondritom]

I cannot fathom someone spending 1600 dollars on this "game". I was caught up in the Kickstarter hype and backed it for $45 dollars, which I think was about the minimum to get the thing. Its been nearly 4 years and I feel totally ripped off. I am sure I have no chance of getting the refund though.

To think i defended Roberts by arguing he was an incompetent retard rather then a scammer, but i guess i was totally wrong and naive (of course, i didn't give the guy a single dime, so whatever).

What pisses me off is that this should have been the game that would have relaunched interest in AAA PC exclusives. But nooooo, he just had to fuck the whole thing up. And for what anyway. Once this thing crashes and burns he is going to have to retire for good. Who's going to trust him again?

Didn't bother to read all 160ish pages, but for scam didn't the studio like hired the castle guy for the movie and some other famous guys?

Whelp no castle there but that is a lot of well-known people involved for the project to be a complete scam isn't it? May the dev is just incompetent.

 

[Drax]

Nah, he just scammed Scully and Luke Skywalker.
And some dude called Gary Oldman, poor sod.

I suspect that he started out merely incompetent, and only turned to scamming later to try to salvage the inevitable train wreck he had created. If Star Citizen really was intended as a scam from the start he's up there with Ponzi and Madoff in the scammer hall of fame.

 

[Grotesque]

Anyone retard enough to spend $3000 on ships in Star Citizen does not deserve a refund, should be encouraged that next time should aim/receive a Darwin's Award.
Also the other retards that claim Roerts is a scammer in other words say that Roberts has a fetish for jail time.

The single player portion should have been finished by now. I think the final straw for anyone defending this joke is when they spent tens of thousands of dollars installing those 'space doors' at their workplace. Clearly vital to the production of the game.

This is supposed to be game, not the fucking movie. WTF movie if they have zero progress on SQ42. About half year needed for testing so SQ42 should be in alpha stage already (if Chris still wants make game by the end of 2016).
No gameplay videos and skipped E3. Who the hell skip opportunity to promote and raise hype if they have a game... Nuff said.

 

[Metro]

No need to promote a game when you have morons handing you tens of millions of dollars.

This refund was big enough news for it to show up in the 'trending news' section of Facebook. $3000 on a space pew pew game is like pants-on-head retarded, though.

 

[Makabb]

Am i seeing correctly, they have raised 117 million to date? The strech goals stopped at 65 million.... and the money just keeps flowing.

Yep.

People aren't spending money on Star Citizen, they are investing. When the game is finally released and all of these $15k ship packs people have bought are suddenly worth $100k, you'll wish you hadn't missed out.

Why spend $500,000 on a house when you can have a STARSHIP!?!?!?

Yeah, and when Grimoire is released, the phone-sized manual will be worth hundreds, and you'll wish you hadn't missed out.

Starships house autism p.well.

I don't think anyone knows, not even for the suposedely almost done single player bit.

 

[Haba]

When is this game supposed to come out?

Two years ago.

A virtual starship, no less.

So when the game finally gets released how are the ships going to be handled? I mean their worth in-game? I would get pissed off If I spent 3000 dollar on a ship and regular Joe can get the same ship by playing the game for 2 hours. Then again, I would get pissed off if people that spent 3000 dollar on a ship will be treated as gods in-game and myself as a second rate customer only because I bought the "normal" game.
