Star Citizen backers are about to get everything they pledged for, PLUS MORE!
Chris Roberts should be shot. Any society where taking advantage of retards like this is allowed is immoral.
>>737747343i think the people who donated 5 million to them should be shot death for being retards
>>737747424thats not how retardation works this is like saying kids should be shot to death for letting themselves be groomed
>>737747343Chris is doing a social labor by scamming retards, he is teaching them a valuable lesson
>>737747508Huh, that's a good point, but also, kids' brains aren't fully developed just yet, whereas adults' are supposed to be. If you treated adults like children under the pretense that you're protecting them from themselves you end up with totalitarian personal-freedom-denying regimes. Not worth it, so it's best to let idiots waste their money since the alternative is far worse
>>737747508Eggs and omelettesShoot the guy profiting off retards and the retards will just throw money at some other scam artistShoot the retards and the scam artists have nobody to feed off
>>737747201>futa weg with just still picturesBORING
>>737747508>shit analogy.A kid is stupid and trusting because of their lack of life experience. An adult is stupid and trusting because they're permanently brain damaged.
>inb4 the obligatory "Post your le face when you le didn't pledge for scam shitizen xD"
>>737747201Test
>>737747810>But I did have breakfast this morning
>>737747818Oh dear, sounds like your behind is majorly inflamed.
>>737747810>A kid is stupid and trusting because of their lack of life experiencenot even the main stressor for their retardation sounds like you're projecting
It's quite a lesson this whole thing, so much to learn from it. How much money people have and how they just want to throw it away at something, trying to get a game that isn't shit, but they know they'll be disappointed, they know it's too good to be true the whole time. Games were never supposed to be that good anyway.
>Post yfw you didn't fall for the Star Citizen scam
>>737747201Is this enough money to design and produce an entirely new console with exclusive games?
So why did people buy into this?Why not simply wait until there's an actual product?
>>737747915
>>737747961Why do people give hundreds to Onlyfans camwhores instead of fucking a real prostitute?Why do people pay for livestreamers thinking they are their friends?Why do people keep falling for kickstarter scams?Why do people think they still can get rich with digital currencies?A fool and his money...
Post your fleets. No poors allowed.
>>737747201They're about to get everything that they pledged for, but nothing they wanted
>>737748260>Post yfw you see someone fall for the Star Citizen scam
>>737747915Feels good not to be a retard
>>737748571I spend my money on much dumber shit so it's fine
why release the game when people donate more than releasing the game?
>>737748895>the money is dried upThey're still making a retarded amount of money on this shit. He left because the singleplayer game is likely done at this point and he's spent 11 years on something he knows nobody outside who already plays this shit will want.
>>737747732>>737747810even a halfwit child should be able to figure out that fat cock is never going to fit into their tight little poophole
>>737747201How much are ships now? If you can still get a package for 35, I think its worth it in its current state
If this crashes and burns will the people who spent money on it be able to sue him?
>>737747753there will always be people who get scammed even if you purge all of the current ones who contibuted to the scam, more would come.There will always be prostitutes, there will always be Johns paying for them.There will always be scammers and there will always be idiots falling for the scams.
mogged by Starfield
>>737750178More people play Star Citizen than Starfield.
I'll believe it when I see it and not a single quectosecond earlier.
i recently jumped on the Star Citizen hate train but not for bandwagoning reasons. It's because i realized they took away the ability to leave cruise mode on while you're not in the pilot seat. So you effectively can't walk around while your ship is flying around anymore. What a retarded fucking decision.
>>737747201nobody cares you retarded turd
>nearing one billion dollarsHOWFUCKING HOWWHO IS STILL FALLING FOR THISIS THIS AN ELABORATE MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEME
Since the neocons took over the US, all arts grants money has been cut almost completely.The fact he can still get funding is proof it's a money laundering scam.
>>737750015Probably not. Fraud is an absolute bastard to prove, and unless he was dumb enough to state on record that he had no plans to implement promises, or there’s proof that he was embezzling the company directly, he can always claim incompetence rather than malice when it inevitably goes to shit. Since it’s a relatively small case of fraud, chances are it won’t go to court due to how long those cases tend to be.If it was a bigger number or if Roberts was scamming some of the big boys like Elizabeth Holmes did, it would be another story
>>737750643What, why?
>>737751475>arts grantsm8, it's just people paying 300$ for a jpg of a spaceship
>>737752701They're not just jpgs, they're limited jpgs!So you can show others that you spent your money faster than they did.
>>737747201>Polygon, March 2015Mmm?
>>737747201The general concept of star citizen has overall soured for me as well over the years. Now I really just want Eve offline, and more games like star sector and pulsar lost colony.
>>737747201On one hand he is set for life. On the other, he has to keep the scam going and keep people on the hook until he dies.
>check game>still completely unplayable broken down to every NPC you seemfw fell for it again
>>737753513Couldn't he just poorly implement everything that was promised and call it a day?
>>737747201>Still no release dateOk.
>>737753576Yes. In fact, he could do just about anything he wants at this point. Including announcing that he’s working on a different game.
What do people see in it? Even if the game was everything he promised it would be a boring space job simulator.
>>737747201Just 10 more months!
>>737754051i just want a game where i can be a space piratenot a space ship, a character who is a space pirate, and flies space ships, disabled poor travelers and boards them for their space booty.
>>737754051>it would be a boring space job simulator.That's exactly what they see on it. It's a perverse form of escapism.
>>737747201Lol
>>737753576Theres no plan to actually do that. He has to pretend there is, again, until he dies. I agree just ending it would be best but he clearly thinks this can go for another 30-40 years.
>>737754689Oh, it's clear that he's trying to milk this for all it's worth, or not worth really. But what I meant is that if he gets tired of it at any point he should be able to just shit out everything he promised, regardless of its actual quality, so nobody could sue him for not honoring his promises.
>>737754689Well, 13 years lates he's about to reach $1b and the backers are perfectly fine with being eternal beta testers so he's 100% right.I mean, even in this very thread we have anons abragging about their spaceship .jpgs
I know that furries are often autistics and work on high-paying jobs because of it, thus can spend a lot on comissions.Is the same true for space sims fans?
>>737749352hmm... curious wording, Anonymous!
>>737747915>didn't fall for Scam Citizen>didn't fall for No Man's Scam>didn't fall for Scamfield
>>737747915None of the replies to these sorts of posts are ever funny
>>737756101furries and spaceships have a large amount of overlap
>>737747915“You rejoice that your neighbor’s wall has collapsed, failing to realize that you live in the same house, just in different rooms.Schadenfreude is the cheapest way to feel alive when your own life no longer belongs to you. You look at others’ chains to forget the weight of your own, and you laugh at others’ wounds because yours have already gone numb.But remember: Fortune is a fickle lady. Today you are a spectator at the circus, and tomorrow the one pushed into the arena to the same laughter. True greatness lies not in witnessing another’s downfall, but in not becoming part of that downfall within yourself. Your laughter does not make you stronger - it only shows how deeply you fear ending up in their place.”
>>737748260So what can you do with those jpegs?
>>7377493525000 years from now, historians will unearth this post and think, in their neo-ebonic tongue, what Anon meant by this.

>>737747201This man is a fucking genius
>>737747915Never EVER spend money on something that currently doesn't exist
>>737747201>everything they wanted and moreinb4 some cringe 'super le special' apparel
>>737748260i will never pay more

>>737756362How much did you lost, bro?

Not worth it, so it's best to let idiots waste their money since the alternative is far worseThis is the EXACT logic casinos attempted to use to escape regulation and to somehow justify why the limitless greed that resulted in people being left homeless or with debts far beyond the means they could reasonably pay off was actually a good thing. They then backed off quickly when told "OK, but then you have to inform everyone that enters that you're cheating fucks and that the chance of actually winning money is near nonexistent."
