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

[Morblot]

Grimoire laughs at DNF's pitiful "record".

 

[Modron]

You know it's peak comedy when you're game has been in development for longer than Versus XIII and Kingdom Hearts 3. Only three more years and it will surpass Duke Nukem Forever as the videogame that spent the most time in development hell.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 passed that point a year or two back already.

 

[Myobi]

Reported for butthurt harvesting.

It's a Star Citizen thread my dude, that report button probably doesn't work either... just wait until Jesus Tech gets implemented or some shit.

What the hell, 11 years?????

No, no, you just don't understand... CiG had to build itself from the ground up! Real development only started a few years ago, when Chris got himself another fancy yacht, opened up its 5th studio, last year they managed to release one entire major patch, damn impressive for a small indie company of +700 people if you ask me.

"Development hell" implies that the developer's struggling to deliver a product. Star Citizen is a service in operation, customers pay CIG in exchange for semi-regular communications on how awesome "the game" is going to be. In business manuals, this is called the Gravy Train phase.

This is the most successful "make work" project ever. It should be finished sometime around Chris Roberts' retirement and relocation to the Cayman Islands.

Myobi i know your problem. You didn't spend enough to get proper framerate and experience. Would you like to know more ?

Imo that shit is way too fucking expensive and too much space consuming for what it is, but you know at the end of the day, unlike dumb fucking JPGs, he can just use it for other video games or sell it on ebay, therefore still a better investment than a fucking Idris.

Don't want to break your mind but there is actual black market for ships in SC.

lmao

I know, I also know its against the EULA and may result in an account ban, no money and no Idris.

This doesn't happen with a thing that its actually yours, like an overly expensive fancy ass controller.

Ehueheh... I don't wanna jinx it, but the way our modern world's going it won't be long before your underwear comes with an EULA.

So there is already the players, the fanbase, the design documents, the business model, the skin shop, the metagaming, the drama, and now the black market. Most of the SC experience is already there, no need to bother with the actual game.

 

[potatojohn]

So is this game finished yet or what?

 

[Black_Willow]

So is this game finished yet or what?

The new patch has version number 3.18, that means they already finished the two first parts, and are now fixing the third one...

...right?

 

[Perkel]

3.18 was supposed to be released yesterday.
And it is still not released to live servers.

 

[Gromlintroid]

No game that has been this long or longer in development has been good.
If this ever releases it will be shit as fuck.

 

[ADL]

:^)

 

[Myobi]

When you think it just can't get any worse, they just start sprinkling shit up with Brazilian music.

 

[Perkel]

imagine half finished alpha and...

 

[Beastro]

I legitimately don't see the issue here

Man with severe hardon for creating his own private Hollywood franchise -and failing miserably- finds way to:
- realise his lifelong dream (even though deep down he probably knows he could only have managed by scamming)
- make fuckloads of money in the process
- feed his ego
- stay on the legal side of life's tumultuous highway

Good for him ^^
And good for me, getting the odd laugh out of all the commentary.
Man did the right fucking thing.
I busted ass for a lifetime and.. who the fuck says i'm better? Morals? As in arbitrary rules set by a need for maintaining a status quo? So we don't kill each other? We already are.
Ask Roberts who's doing better, lol, ask him that while he's enjoying a Cuban on that yaught shown above.. And good for him.

You also need people like ADL in this life, for two reasons:
- they (tend to) prevent overaccumulation
- by wasting their money they can occasionally help maintain markets or niches that would have otherwise perished without them. Markets we may have set foot in ourselves.

So thanks to ADL too; i'd never have wasted a cent of mine, but am sure glad you wasted yours tbh. No irony either, am being 100% sincere.

Imagine over half a billion dollars and...

It's okay, I'm sure that once Jesus Tech is out, those who paid thousands of dollars to play this shit won't be locked behind endless queues with every major patch due shit servers, on the bright side, that's what... once a year nowadays, if you get lucky?

They should pay someone to at least convert the seconds into minutes and hours. Then again, maybe that's part of the game. It gives you something to do while you wait for your over 81 day queue to tick down.

[anvi]

Looks like Fortnite.

 

[Lyric Suite]

The fuck, that looks like total shit. What happened to the natural visuals this game used to have?

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

As they move from Unicorn fantasies to the reality of development (after 11 years), I guess the game will start trending toward something more realistic... like Elite Dangerous or Empyrion.
