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

[Grimlorn]

I sold my pledge ships for several thousand dollars' net profit many months ago, and don't care anymore. I had no inkling of the current bad PR kerfluffle until someone tagged me ITT. The only time I think of Star Citizen lately is when I see that someone has tagged me yet again in this thread, and I usually ignore them and then forget about it twenty seconds later.

After all this time, some Codexers remain obsessed with Star Citizen and post about it daily. Whales waste their money, while you waste your time and energy circlejerking ITT.

When the ship really begins to sink, I'll start paying attention again.

HEH, WHAT A BUTTHURT LOSER BLAINE IS!

He got literal actual profit out of this and he doesn't get to play armchair lawyer like we do! What LOSER LMAO! He probably has a computer setup more expensive than my entire house but who cares, he is not as rich as me in BROFIST RATIO!!

Star Citizen will take so long to finish that it will consume all of Earth's resources and Cloud Imperium Games (CLOIMPGAM) will become our world's ruling government, guiding the economy eternally towards the most complete space simulation experience ever conceived.

STAR CITIZEN (STARCIT) WILL OCTUPLEPLUSGOOD.

WAR IS PEACE.
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

Welcome to the RPG Codex. I hope you will enjoy your stay here. This is the site where people are bitching and whining about games they don't care about and don't like for years.

Wouldn't be so quick to defend him, he thinks you're a no-lifer, too. Anyway, Blaine isn't that wealthy. he just spends his disposable incoming on crazy shit.

Blaine's the biggest poser on the 'dex, I can't believe anyone would fall for it.

This doesn't make sense in this context, but whatever.

 

[Night Goat]

You're whiteknighting for a man who's ripping off a whole lot of people and would do it to you in a heartbeat. Just like you did for Shaefer before him. It might not literally be cuckolding, but it's close enough.

Nope. I just said t that I don't care and I am not butthurt because I got my money back.

 

[Night Goat]

You said that, but you're still here whining about the trainwreck spectators. So obviously you do care.

 

[J_C]

Whatever.

Hey, I sure think Blaine is also a no-lifer as well. But at least he doesn't seem to beg for some user's attention in particular. You've been calling him out and tagging him several times in the last couple of pages.

It explains every context.

Blaine spends all his money on watches and pipes.

Take this blaine guy cock out of your mouth and start making sense because we have trouble understanding now.

Also if it's true, that guy has way too much money when he's posting an average of 8 messages per day.

Only twice. Twice is a couple, not several.

In Soviet Russia, Couple is a Twice....
Wait...

Damn this looks amazing.

I hope that even if nothing else comes out from this lawsuit threat and Escapist magazin, it spooks Chris Roberts and he takes measures to pull their shit together.

What I found funny in that article was this

“Several different sources have indicated that the company has already used the majority of its funding, but not much has been created to show for it.”

• Many of the sources claim there is only about $8 million left from crowdfunded funds.
• ” ‘There’s a demo, a racing demo, a single first person shooter level, and an area where you can walk around. For $82 million,’ CS2 stated.”

Game was set to be released in nov 2014, they changed TOS to give money back to backers if the game isnt released 12 months after the set date. Now its 18 months and they have time till May 2016. And when May comes along they'll probably change it to 36 months.
I dont see the game being released in 2020 when you calculate how little of those $90 mil ended up into actual game development.

Still, a nice internet drama to read about. This is gonna be a bigger crash than Kingdoms of Amalur was, they managed to burn $133 mil for a shit game but atleast they released it.
I have no doubt that Chris gonna manage to con another 40-50 mil from the whales till he takes the little money that was left and runs.
