i genuinely do not know a single person playing this game or even hyped about it.who is funding this shit
>>739503897Pat and Woolie were talking about this and apparently its just whales, like maybe 100k people putting entire paychecks into this game
>>739503897People who never leave their home id assume
>>739503961I've never funded scam citizen so that statement is incorrect
>>739503961it's people who don't like no man's sky
>>739503791But there is a game that people are playing.
>>739504109What game, its just a billion dollar scam machine
>>739504159yeah but you're getting scammed in space which is fun and cool
>>739503897rich indoctrinated losers
>>739503897Basically a cult of people going "It'll be good soon, for real!".It's not true, but they'll never admit it.Even if the technical problems were all sorted out and it wasn't a buggy piece of shit, there's just fuck all to do other than the largest collection of radiant quests and a usually broken mining minigame.Lore's dogshit, visual design is ugly as shit for most things, and the factions are all retarded.
>>739504462I'd give money to Elon if I wanted to waste time with space
>>739504035thats a lot of fucking people
wow the game must be really good with that amount of budget
>>739504687>[THIS IS WHAT AAA ACTUALLY BELIEVES]
>>739503897sunk cost whales mostly
>>739503897I know some guy that was enabled wealth by rich people and he is blowing his money on gacha and ultra expensive wine (10k/bottle) and invites random people from the street on a daily basis to his condo.
>>739504159AFAIK it's playable
>>739503897Anyone who plays or is hyped about it has learned to be quiet due to an unending stream of pushed back dates. That said the pace of funding is still picking up. Today's funding (the tracker goes from 8PM est-8PM est) is at 7.7mil for today since they sold their most expensive .jpg to date, a 5k battlecruiser that's about 750m long with a shit ton of guns/missiles. That gets them to half of last years final total almost with 7 months and a week to go (and sq42 still looks like it'll release this year based off a variety article posted after it hit 1bil).
they need to optimize this shit im sick of landing in area 18 with 30 fps when i have a 400 dollar CPU
>>739503897I know a couple of people at work who are invested in it. They're both huge fucking weirdos and I know each of them has donated thousands to chris's yacht fund
>>739504925Playable but at what cost
>>739505025you should sleep with them to get more information then tell us the information
>>739505024optimize? for what? will that get them another billion?
>>739503897I play SC with dual joysticks and pedals set up. i feel like people keep mistaking star citizen for a game when its just a space simulator. graphically it mogs other space games like elite dangerous and x4. also ship interiors. but it indeed is a janky piece of shit where theres not much to do but just fly around, do missions, and explore pretty planets. its not as technical as flying a cessna in microsoft flight sim though. its just arcadey flight model in a pretty space engine.
>>739503791I've been hearing about this game being in early access for what feels like a decade, but when I actually looked into it, I saw they had a bunch of subscriptions for shit like Ship insurance and that people mostly bought ships to fly around with with each other and show off. Isn't it pretty much an MMO?
>>739505339haven't the foggiest idea why they shoved DBOX integration in 4.8 when it was already looking like it'd be a bitch to get to live.
>>739505468It's an MMO with 2 caveats:1: It's not very massive and there are very few social aspects to the game2: They've only started adding group content in the last year~
>>7395050381bln dollars. It's funny as this is funded by rich people and it shows how stupid they are. They think if they shower someone with money he will create something beautiful. It should be a psychological issue on dsm 6.>>739505339What are missions? It looks great but I doubt you need a billion dollars to make it look good and it being janky is proof it'll be janky forever.
>>739503791biggest money laundering scheme in the history of the world, impressive
>>739503791No wonder
>yfw you didn't fall for scam shitizen
>>739505835
inflation, please understand, a billion dollars just doesn't go as far as it used to.
>>739505582But enough about the nyse
>>739505653What do you even do with theses ships? Can you pilot them alone or do you need a crew?
>>739503791what's the install size?
>>739507160>in conceptabsolutely nothing I imagine. Have a $5900 usd jpg
>>739505339>its just arcadey flight model in a pretty space enginethat's not worth a billion
>>739507418Currently 148gigs for me
YFW YOU DIDN'T FALL FOR THE SCAMSHITIZEN
>>739503791It is a money laundering business. When you buy a jpg of a ship for 50,000 it is covering a cocaine transaction. A 200,000 jpg is covering for a sex slave. Simple as.
>>739503897ever donated to a streamer before? neither have I
Does anyone else remember this meme, or is it just me?
1 billy for application that crashes every 10 minute
>>739503791Still less expensive than Marathon's costs
>>739503791That's 4 GTA 5s for anyone keeping track
>>739508467I personally find it so fucking sad seeing people that do, people literally living off instant noodles just to reach number 1 ranking in gifted subs and all that shit.I'm not an streamer nor I probably ever be, but I just don't think I'd ever be able to see someone do that and not ban that person from my channel so he doesn't do that, but I just know he'll just go to another streamer to dump his life earnings.
>>739509056Gta 5 total cost after all the years of development and rereleases is over a billion dollars, have in mind that 5 released on the ps3 and x360 era, went through the ps4 and xone era and 6 is just now going to release at almost the end of the ps5 and xsex era.
>>739503791So its officially the first "AAAA" game now?
>>739508385I bought a $40 starter pack in 2011, but I think I will be dead before it releases
>>739503791>6 millions star citizens>it's a scam
>>739504570>>739503897>>739505653This explanation still doesn't make any sense.1,000,000,000/100,000 is still $10,000 each, even if you convinced 100,000 people buy this thing it still doesn't make sense. I'm not going to believe more people bought this for $6,000 ship in an unfinished game than people bought the latest LEGO Batman game, it just makes zero fucking sense to me. Something else has to be going on here. There's some sort of fraud going on here, its the only explanation that makes sense to me. Like this game has to be a money laundering scheme for some drug cartel or some shit.
>>739509820there was a massive space sim drought when star citizen was announced and the target audience were working grown up nerds, who didn't know what to do with their money
>>739503791>twitter screenshot and twitter link even though the original sources are available for faggot OP to use instead
>>739503897>i genuinely do not know a single person playing this game or even hyped about it.it looked really cool on announcement and the first alpha gameplay was alright but this was over 10 years ago. They took forever to make any progress and eventually got lost in doing bullshit.
>>739509820it says 6.5m citiensso 1,000,000,000 / 6,500,000 is $153 averagedmakes sense
HOW IS SCAM CITIZEN STILL GOING?!?!? HOW??????????
>>739508521I got you
>>739504925which is a bad thing because its not what people were promised and now any sort of class action lawsuit will fail
>>739503791Why aren't they licensing their black magic tech to other devs?
>>739510195> 6,500,000 people are willing to dump $153 on average on this game that isn't even out yetBro, you're retarded, or insane, or both. That's Slay the Spire 2 numbers and that game is $25. This would mean you'd have a game as big as Slay the Spire but people are okay with dropping $150 to play it. Make zero fucking sense, nothing about this make ANY fucking sense.
>>739503897>who is funding this shitManchildren with too much money. A $20K or even $50K pledge is not rare.
>>739511024how do averages worknincompoop
>>739511005They tried but nobody wanted it
>>739511128You're a moron who doesn't get it, we know. Even if 1% of that were whales who spent $10k on this it doesn't add up. Yet no one talks about this shit, but if you go by these numbers this game is GTAVI levels of big.
>>739511128it wouldn't surprise me if the median is pretty low. this whole thing is carried by whales with monthly subscriptions and ships for $10k
>>739503791Laundry scheme. Must be.
>>739510195>>739511128>>739511287>>739511263keep in mind that there's a grey market for limited time packages that people buy on new accounts(but don't use) for hundreds/thousands then try to sell "used" ship accounts for a markup. I'm not joking, look it up
>>739511263You gotta realize it's 6.5mil people have put money into the game over the last 14 years now. GTA 5 has more unique players each month probably than SC has had since it was released.
>>739509953What they say it's true. A moron and his money soon part ways.
>>739504687
>>739511438>releasedWell since funding started.
>>739511486>-$500USD>Thank you for your purchase
nice money laundering scam
>watch cool videos about star citizen >Factions like Eve online money blocks doing things like buying mechs for air drop assault and space battlesOh sick maybe it's actually worth playin->This costs an intense amount of IRL time and money>The end of the video is always too many people going to where the game is actually being played and the server dieing.Oh...oh nevermind
>>739511403I dont need to look it up I believe you. They did this FOMO from day 1 with their shitty lifetime insurance for ships. I'd like to know how many people are subscribed as well paying $10 or $20 each month.
>>739511590Why the IRS isn't all over this is beyond my comprehension.
>>739509605what did you get for your 40 dollars back in 2011? Was there anything to play or do, or was it just an IOU?
