Looool. I just love the little 'IN STOCK' line, as if there's a shelf somewhere with a box of these on that someone's got to go and fetch to package and send off.

scandavian shovelware. Its either koreans and scandis releasing minimum effort to rob a niche market of autists or these equally souless big box games from amazon and blizzard.

The mmo industry is the biggest joke in gaming. Its more low effort then triple aaa single player games made for casuals. It has less energy and soul then developers like jeff vogel.

I'm struggling to understand your point here.

I mean, at least those dudes actually release something in order to rob a niche market of autists.

It might be an NFT.

Also, its a shame Star Citizen hasn't made NFTs available yet. This game seems like the perfect medium for selling high priced digital "assets"

There is no point. Somehow "triple AAA" MMO's are less effort than "triple AAA" RPG games. He is basically comparing two turds and trying to determine which tastes better.

Niche market of autists... why does it make me think of

[commie]

So shall we start taking bets, who will buy them out, will it be Microsoft or Sony... or dear Lord Tencent!!!

Not Microsoft because Star Citizen would compete with Starfield.

Star Citizen will the Starfield killer!

Well if the dozens of ports and 'updates' of Skyrim are anything to go by, then Star Citizen might very well be the 'Starfield killer' in 2184 when the latter is ported to play on the holoscreen of a quantum toaster.

This has to be some form of sales psychology, like telling their customers "It's in stock now, but at some point it might not be, so better act fast". Is there any information out about how many people are actually dumb enough to spend that much on an unreleased game?

 

[Delterius]

Probably! And a dumb person could justify it from the point of view of 'balance'. Ie, no way they are gonna sell infinite LEGATUS CLASS SHIPS. Those would break the game!

 

[Myobi]

Those would break the game!

Jokes on them, the game is already broken from the get-go.

 

[Myobi]

Lol!

 

[zapotec]

In 2024!!

Why is it that games that demonstrate the least competent grasp of economic models seem to make the most money?

Don't need economics to sell dreams. Quite the contrary actually.

 

[Napalm]

Only economic model they need is the one used for selling spaceship JPGs to the faithful, and that model is practically perfect. Those people go nuts for things like getting LTI (lifetime insurance) for their ships, even though nobody has any clue if it will provide any substantial benefits when the game eventually releases (lol). Anyway, CIG have reached 438+ million dollars in crowdfunding, which combined with 63+ millions from private investors means that they have received over half a billion dollars for their space game, while having released only an alpha tech demo and lots of hot air. Chris Roberts aspired to make movies, his fans see him as a superb game developer, but it turned out his real genius lied in extracting money from the gullible.

This is actually mindblowing. Lifetime insurance on virtual goods that probably aren't even coded for a game that doesn't really exist yet. What even happens if you don't get LTI and your ship that you paid $40,000 for gets blown up? Is Roberts just going to say 'lol, tough luck. Best get another $40k out.' Honestly, if you wrote this as a piece of satire people would say it was too far-fetched.

 

[Syl]

As far as I know, all ships paid with real money have LTI. That's the whole point of this insurance, protect your "investment".
Just another part of the scam.
