MODERATORS
The parallels between Store Citizen 
and Te$la are remarkable in their overlap. Chris Roberts, head grifter of Store Citizen, even put himself directly in his grift game's lore as 
even more grandiose counterpart!
I don't feel bad for any of these people. The scam has been so obvious for so long at this point that they just wanted someone to relieve them of their money
I'm only sad for whatever families are still around those aging gamedads that may need that income a lot more than Chris Roberts.
The fact that many of them openly admit that their wives don't like their "investments" in Store Citizen or even boast that their kids will one day inherit their "fleets" is sad.
Oof good point
Imagine inheriting a video game fleet in your parents will when they die.
Okay, I'm going to prophecy here. Let me huff some sulphur fumes and put on my prophecy hat.
Okay.
Till CIG is fallen and the heart of Roberts fails, no mortal blade or harm shall befall @UlyssesT@hexbear.net
Me, going to the Spectrum forum emboldened by prophecy:
WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME I'M RIGHT?
I fucking hate Richard and Mortimer, 
I'd be like this there:
I am proud to say I haven't seen that eposide and stopped watching it during the first season.
Enjoy media? Me? I would never
Jokes aside that is a very powerful line when separated from the context of the show.
I never saw the episode either but I still liked the line out of context. 
We're in a race to see if Star Citizen hits release, or Joseph Kony is arrested.
Any day now!
Treat defenders still exist, of course:
You dont even know what they are doing, or what they are done. Main reason is ignorance... They invented or improved tech several times. And you did not noticed that?
Can I have your stuff?
Your opinion is fact and anyone that doesnt agree with you is an ostrich.
IRL people wait for clarification answers. When you did that as well you would not have been anger posting
can anyone say some positive news about this project ?? Though still inconsistent, their ship interiors are vastly improved from the early days. Not sure if that's "news".

I'm sure there's no 
at play here. This is a calm individual, completely tolerant of dissent among followers of Cult Imperium.
Individual in question
Check this one, aware and proud of being grifted:
But it always was like this, nothing has changed. I learned my lesson in 2013. How can anyone be so blind for 12 years?
Meanwhile I dumped grands after grands in this game fully knowingly how they market it. I don't like cig marketing but it works and I like their game.
The problem for some people who are upset now seems to be that they see things now that others saw and pointed out for years. Like removing blindfolds.
Pure
Such a loyal consoomer that the goalposts are being carried in a sprint across the field to try to catch up with the diminishing scope and depth of the actual product now being promised.
Silly paypigs, you can play Escape Velocity for free, it's been abandonware forever.
The only thing I have seen that is remarkable about this game is the ship designs and the fact that they have full interiors. I know the X series is more economy sim but I hope X5 takes a look at the ship design of Star Citizen a bit. I love what they did with interiors in X4 from X3 but it all starts to feel same-y after a bit. Seemless navigating around a ship would be great.
The only thing I have seen that is remarkable about this game is the ship designs
They're 90% just stuff that Chris Roberts saw on a movie and wanted a derivative knock-off of, from le dropships to le Millennium Falcons to even le ZYBERTRUKKKs in space.
and the fact that they have full interiors
Those full interiors have less functionality than the Jump to Lightspeed expansion for the late Star Wars Galaxies; just about nothing in them can really be interacted with or moved around unless it's something really stilted like a "secret" chess board switch that opens that same "secret" le smuggling compartment that comes standard with every ship of that class.
I mean, what kind of functionality do you expect from interiors? Most ships give you access to ship components, like quantum drive, shields, etc. which you will need for the engineering update. You usually also get weapon racks and shower/toilet rooms (thought tbf those don't really server any purpose).
Are you seriously stanning for hundreds-to-thousands-of-dollar pricetag internet spaceships that have static decorations (such as that oh-so-very-secret chessboard toggle to the oh-so-secret standard issue smuggling compartment) while the grift is under pretenses of total simulation of everything but can't even allow actual interaction to even approach the false promises?
I was a day one backer and regret spending the minimum 30 dollars for this grift. We don't take kindly to defending grifters here.
I was supposed to get squadron 42 6 fucking years ago and they haven't even got a demo of the original Kickstart promise.
After 10 years and not even the original promise of a single player/coop campaign and Roberts' adoration of fascists like Elon Musk and his general narcissism if you still defend him you need to fuck all the way off.
Selling things you can't realistically make is exactly the same idea as a pyramid scheme.
They're so close.
Meanwhile I'm STILL not done playing Terraria
