There'll be a free fly period from November 23 to 30.

Any of you Anons want to tackle this shitheap of a game for great justice?

>>15744200

Joke's on you because *TFW no GF and forever alone*

>>15744183

the full game?

But will they be able to buy Switzerland before the gullible retards realize they are being milked?

>>15744218

>it will be great

>eventually

Here's a candidate for the suicide hotline if I ever saw one.

What's the deal with Espresso and all these fancy names for caffeine drinks?

>>15744085

Why the sudden spike in August?

>>15744200

Hah, that's my fetish. Checkmate.

>>15744277

I wanted Freespace 3. I will not be laughed at for wanting that.

>>15744298

250, and after selling it in USD I made a killing

>>15744200

I-I'm only checking your dubs.

>>15744245

Truly the Apple of video games.

But at least Apple's dumb shit supposedly actually works, even if it is designed for retards.

>>15744200

I already left my wife because of this.

And I took all the money so it's up to her negro husband to do it himself with the drug money that'll eventually get him in jail.

Atleast I already tapped it.

>>15744272

>>15744308

Sucks that you still lost money in this ordeal, atleast you actually pulled out instead of going all in like some of these retards.

>>15744385

Holy hell, is that first picture actually real?

>>15744200

Fuck

>>15744384

Except it doesn't really. Check out Louis Rossman's channel on kikepipe.

>>15744391

>lost

I said profit, not that I sold it for that much.

>>15744391

>release 2016

oh have times changed

>>15744421

What was the original currency anon?

Reminder that Sean has finished his game, added a bunch of free content and he didn't scam anyone out of a single dime to do it.

>>15744550

who

>>15744559

I think he's talking about NMS

>>15744559

Sean Murray, the Molyneux 2.0.

>>15744550

>he didn't scam anyone out of a single dime to do it.

Did Sony make a profit on NMS?

They invested quite a bit into its marketing.

>>15744183

Naw, it's not even worth it for free

>>15744550

>he didn't scam anyone out of a single dime to do it.

He promised features that weren't actually there on release. The fact that they were later added in doesn't retroactively mean he didn't deceive customers about the game.

>>15744699

Most of the shit he promised still isn't in the game, and the thing is still an inch deep puddle.

>>15744574

I don't know but I think they did. Hello Games aren't a big team and can't have cost much to keep running. I'm guessing they at least made their money back, but probably made a tidy profit despite forcing a release before it was finished.

>>15744729

t. Guy who hasn't played the game.

>>15744245

>Yes, you'll also be able to buy jpegs with ingame money this time around.

So are the jpeg ships now actually in the game? Or do you actually mean they're letting you buy ships not yet implemented with ingame money?

>>15744550

>didn't scam anyone

>scammed every retard who bought it

This bait is bad lad.

The Star Citizen situation was enabled by the rest of the industry being essentially shit. They're marketing hope. False hope? Maybe. This has gone too far for there not to be massive shockwaves when this concludes, and they will either succeed or fail at some point. This can't go on forever.

For those of us here, I would just say to enjoy the show. Best case scenario, it's a pleasant surprise. Worst case, we get to watch untold lives and industry ruined when it all implodes. No sense in emotional investment either way.

>>15745513

Fuck off faggot.

Anyone have the video ships part vibrating in and out of place with 2001 space odyssey playing. i would post but i lost it in a hard drive break

>Star Citizen has reached 200M

I want to LOL but, it just doesn't feel right to me at all. I can't even muster the energy to fake it.

>>15745536

When the wave finally breaks and rolls back, I'm expecting the suicide rate to hit a historical high. I just don't know when it will happen.

>>15746031

>"investors" will keep believing in it anyway

That's due to the sunken cost fallacy. It's the same thing that keeps people from leaving fucked up cults. If you admit it was a dumb decision you kiss your money goodbye, but if you keep believing it might turn out to be true so people who aren't careful keep throwing good money after bad.

>>15746395

I like how that poster talks about creative freedom then immediately criticizes them for not following the "copy paste diversity everywhere" non-creativity the SJWs press on everyone.

>>15746395

>story campaign about being a soldier in a space navy involves a primarily male cast

Wow who would have thunk that soldiers are mostly men, and white at that. Also, am I blind or do I see at least four women in that screenshot? These people can't even kvetch right.

Also lol at the doublethink on display when that faggot is talking about creative freedom. Apparently they only want the sort of creative freedom that fills a game with brown mystery meat and degenerates; if you use your creative freedom to make a game about white people, that's a huge no no.

The game is still shit though.

>>15744085

Didn't they already reach that if you take into the account the bank loans and private investment from the likes of Amazon too?

>>15745834

This is legit horrifying.

Don't forget this classic

>>15746341

I take comfort that just as a good project could have been funded with the money, an equally bad project or worse project than SC could have been funded. That money could have been dumped in the Ouya or that faggot Oatmeal's epin Cards Against Humanity ripoff or something.

>>15746395

You know I never once thought while playing or watching anything "Gee I wish those people were as brown as I or were women", I just assumed that they made entertainment out of the things they actually know and were it an African or an Asian production it would have African or Asian ideas and actors. Who the fuck is crying out for representation like it's some checkbox of colored crayons to be fullfilled?

>>15744393

imagine how that woman must feel: a big part of your evolutionary programming is about selecting a strong male with good genes for your future children, and capable of protecting and providing for the family. Instead you married a fucking beta that spendt all your money on a digital toy scam.

That woman has been cucked by a videogame.

>>15746599

>Who the fuck is crying out for representation like it's some checkbox of colored crayons to be fullfilled?

young privileged middle-class insecure liberal white people

>>15746635

>white people

A large number of these rich "white" people are actually (((white))), especially if they live on the coasts.

>>15746648

White, "white," or brown-but-acts-white, they're all pretty much the same bunch of mewling and bawling superficial cowards.

>>15744264

2400 United States Dollarydoos on 1s and 0s for a VIDEO GAME.

IT'S A FUCKING VIDEO GAME

THERE'S NO REASON TO SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY

Chris should relocate to Thailand ASAP and spend the rest of his days fucking prostitutes or just enjoying life.

>>15746640

And then you realize furries run over animals and sodomize their dying bodies. If only our ancestors could see how bad things really got.

>>15747006

There is if you're a middle aged slob getting pecked to death by your feminist harpy of a wife, stuck in a shit job, surrounded by incompetent spics, niggers and Pajeets, knowing that your children don't respect you, your son is gay/furry/otherkin/tranny and your daughter is going to be impregnated by a nigger.

That is the only scenario I can imagine anyone deciding to spend $2400 on a fucking ship that isn't even in a game that is never going to be finished.

>>15747019

Maybe he's just really stupid.

>>15747032

Yeah, that works too.

Even if the game released, I don't get why these retards think of these ships as "investment".

That implies there's even a demand for those ships. I'm guessing what'll happen instead- as it happens to most MMO's with tons of shop content- is that people will drop the game once they realize how pay2win it is.

I mean who in their right mind would spend multiple thousand fucking dollars on a virtual spaceship? Even EVEfags aren't that autistic.

Also does this game have permadeath or permanent ship losses? Would be amazing to see factions group up to sink some 5k dollar ships for the laughs.

>>15747211

>permanent ship losses

They've cut that along with the ability to steal the ship from another player after the whales complained. Now if you pay with real money you can keep your ship forever and bully the poorfags by destroying the ships they've wasted countless hours grinding towards.

>>15745014

Nice ass at 0:38.

At least all that money went into something.

>>15747238

Scam Yiddizen actually brought the world back to the 13th century.

The church used to scam people by telling them that if they gave money to the church, they'd be buying a plot of land in heaven.

Star Citizen is scamming people by telling them that if they give money to Kike Roberts, they're buying a jpeg video game spaceship.

>>15747262

>they're buying a jpeg video game spaceship

And a plot of land on a virtual planet.

>>15747211

>permadeath or permanent ship losses?

Instead of that they have ingame ship (((insurance))).

Upon their first concept sale new jpegs always come with lifetime insurance, when CIG puts them in the store as regular ships later on they only have a 6 month or so free insurance plan after which the player will have to invest an unknown amount of ingame money to keep his ship insured.

This is where the

>demand for those ships

comes in, there's an active community on /r/starcitizen_trades reselling LTI ships to other SC players, usually at a profit due to Chris ramping up the prices for both LTI and non-LTI ships over time up until recently LTI was only sold during concept sales, since then there have been a number of cases of existing ships getting re-LTI'd for a limited time but at a much higher price of the initial concept sale.

That isn't even going into the fact that you can melt ships you own into store credit, buy a new jpeg that doesn't have LTI usually at a higher price as store credit doesn't net CIG any profits and carry over the LTI cert from one of your melted jpegs onto the new jpeg.

Combine this with rampant price increases over the years and artificial scarcity on certain limited time jpegs and you can see why some backers like this Anon >>15744272 may choose to refund their shit at a Profit that way instead of going to court.

>>15746395

SJWs are so pointless they'll whine about the fact that a game that doesn't even exist doesn't have niggers in it. Why not make the cast all black women? That'd be (((diverse))) yeah?

>>15746599

>Who the fuck is crying out for representation like it's some checkbox of colored crayons to be fullfilled?

Patronising white people (co-opted by kikes) and men hating cunts. If women/niggers had any talent, ability to program or create a game then they could shit that mess up with as much nogmeat as they liked, no-one would bother to argue. Instead they do nothing but bitch and parasitise companies run by white people and try to drag them down into the mire.

If they're not 'included enough' why don't they make their own? It's cos they know they can't.

>>15747480

No wonder they go into marxism. It's the theory of virtuous envy for the embittered willfully mediocre.

>>15744534

Doesn't matter. USD is the gold standard for international trading. He spend $250 USD and received $350 USD, a net gain of $100, exchanged into whatever currency he wants

>>15745834

What did that Nip fuck head do?

>>15746595

This is what I imagine hell is like

>>15744183

Fucking hell this is tedious, even if it was working as it should be it would be tedious.

>>15747783

Imagine they did make their own company and staffed it with skinbags to shit out digital tripe. I wonder if they'd be 'inclusive' and 'diverse' enough to hire white guys who need a job and can actually do it.

>>15747960

They'd never build a company. They would have to be handed one, and they would wreck it.

>>15745834

Yeah, the first one is what Float Point inaccuracies at extreme ranges look like. Kerbal had the same issues, but they implemented a workaround.

>>15747060

Ok, this is legit cool.

>>15746595

Has anyone actually watched the whole 6 mintues? I can't even watch this shit FUCK

>>15744085

>$200M

thats more than some 3rd world countries are worth

i had no idea people were still throwing money in this pit

>>15748201

I bet these two paypigs will post in r/suicide in a few years.

This is money laundering there is no other possible explanation at this point

>>15748335

i said that like 4 years ago

but now? the amount of money that a lawyer could win from a seemingly open-shut case like this would be tremendous. theres no way. its gotta be legit. hes actually incompetent to the tune of $200,000,000 fucking dollars.

i know damn well theres no way hes holding onto it himself as the taxes would be fucking astronomical. it must actually be gone. i dont know how. this is on par with US govt. i can only imagine if he was stupid enough rather, some bank was stupid enough to take out leverage against this. could you imagine filing for bankruptcy for a half a billion dollars over a fucking videogame that never existed?

if anyone can do it, he can

star citizen is gon be one of those games thats always in development so it has a excuse for being shit

>>15748441

>Has any African country built and launched their own manned space craft?

You need to set your expectations a little lower and ask if they've launched their own aircraft.

The answer is still no.

>>15748459

I predict it will "release" in an unfinished state once they can't keep getting away with postponing it and spin it as a continually developed project, only to slowly stop working on it as the money dries up. This is the logical solution because it mitigates the backlash of failure into a long, slow period of disappointment, thus minimizing the chances of assassination attempts. This is the best case scenario for them because the embarrassment is inevitable.

>>15748632

flat has no volume to be hollow.

>>15748744

Flat earth doesn't count the firmament that holds up the earth :^)

>>15748794

If space is curved, could the flat earth over it be curved to form a sphere?

>>15748810

I always assume anon flat earthers are being ironic. No need to make a case against it.

>>15748820

i usually assume theyre a phish fan or some other type of subhuman and that they are brutally serious about it

>>15748824

the giant turtle theory has never been explicitly disproven either

i remain a skeptic

>>15748975

He's a meme now?

>>15749226

yea but then they realized they needed more time so that they could ask for more money

>>15748463

They’re trying real hard

>>15748810

>hollow earth has yet to be explicitly disproven

Draw a large triangle on the surface of the earth, then add up the angles. If the sum is greater than 180° the earth is round, if it is less the earth is hollow and if it is indeed 180° the earth is flat. There, problem solved.

>>15749449

>if it is less the earth is hollow

This isn't what hollow means.

>>15744245

For some reason I keep seeing the Defiant when looking at that thing.

>>15749163

Sargon and Jim have been in a vain dickwaving contest for a while now, and each of their respective fanbases are desperately trying to vilify the other, not understanding how bad both of them look.

>>15750282

Nah, it's been going on for so long, they've ascended to meta-meta-dickwaving. They know they've become the entertainment and they know that each other knows they know that they know and the audience also knows. It's internet pro wrestling.

>>15744420

Chris put out a letter regarding the 200 million milestone.

>>15757389

>There is no publisher. No big conglomerate. This is all grassroots, funded by gamers for gamers.

How will they ever make money on this game?

Since you cucks locked my thread, why do you faggots want this game to faiL?

>>15759261

1) For entertainment purposes. This game wouldn't be fun but it's implosion will be.

2) It's an example of the worst aspects of modern game dev:

- Giving too much credit to some face guy for past successes of a team/business.

- Prime example of the dangers of crowdfunding.

- Gullible masses eating up hype

- Overpromising and underachieving.

- Greed up the whazoo.

- Terrible mismanagement and nepotism.

All of this makes it a moral imperative that the game fails, and we have a vested interest in it happening since we want to laugh at the chaos. It's one of those crazy situations where a guilty pleasure becomes virtuous.

>>15759369

I don't want the game to fail. If Star Citizen somehow released and somehow managed to completely meet all expectations I'd be very happy to have something worthy to play. Now the reality of the situation is that the development of the game has raised more red flags than France has raised white flags; Anyone with just a little bit of common sense can see that this game is very, very likely a scam, what with 200 million dollars donated, several years gone, the prototypes are bug ridden, barely playable dumpster fires and fucking jpeg ships being sold by thousands of dollars.

If the game releases, we have a fun game. If the game never releases or releases and is garbage we get a good laugh. It's a win-win situation.

>>15759261

Because it'll never be either a game worthy of 200M dollars OR the seven years of development its been in. By every tangible measure the game is vaporware; "Star Citizen" as a "reality" is just a myth pushed with cult-like zeal by the poor souls who have sunk ridiculous amounts of money into it. If it ever comes out at all, it'll just be so that Chris Roberts can wash his hands off of it, where he goes to his next project adding that a game concept he pitched and headed creative development of sunk $200M. Just as much a failure as if it never came out at all.

Since you seem to want Star Citizen to come out, let me tell you as a kindness that the game you think Star Citizen will be does not exist and by all realistic measures never will be. If you want Star Citizen to be a reality go to AGDG >>15743354 and learn the trade to make it yourself, by yourself or with a group of your friends. Mount and Blade was made by two dudes.

>>15748139

I can't get past even the first 20 seconds. It's worse than gore.

>>15746595

I made it 10 seconds, that was like running razor blades over my ear drums.

>>15759369

It wont implode. It will simply deflate like air let out of a balloon, there wont even be a TORtanic to laugh at.

>>15759445

>implying any of this will stick to Teflon Chris.

>>15759261

for lulz

>>15759402

I haven't spent a penny on it, yet I still want it to succeed because I like the idea of what they're doing.

>>15744264

>spend 50k for a goodest goy badge on a game that will never get out of beta

These cucks shouldn't be allowed to breed.

>>15745014

>>15747060

These webms make the game look good.

>>15748201

Business in a game that is not even out yet. I see there venture going down in flames if they are this stupid

>>15759954

>>15759999

That's not how erections work, Shlomo.

Who keeps paying for this? I can sort of understand pre ordering but this is nuts.

Has anyone seen that TV show american greed? We need to try and get this on that show.

Game might as well be 100% fucking free for that much money invested.

What a dumpster fire.
