And when the collapse does come, the SC sub Reddit will be full of whales complaining that they never expected this to happen and crying about how much money they lost. And halfway down the comment section, amid the salt and anguish, will be the lone Joe Blobers Alt calmly and smugly telling them: They just don't understand game development.
And this would be glorious! I bet they would still have a tight reign on Goons preventing us from teasing them. I know I can't post anything on any of their subreddits. They don't want to hear anything but their own bullshit. If they are so secure in their beliefs in that Star Citizen will be completed and be great why do they feel the need to lock out any dissent? They sound very insecure. They really have good reason to be. While many put on a brave face I bet many are shitting their pants. They were hoping to see something much better. Now that the truth is pissing down their backs they know that it is unlikely that any quick fix is coming. The path towards completion will be much longer than they truly anticipated. They are so involved that they cannot possibly see living without this project in their lives.
It is probably becoming very difficult to get new backers since most of the potential backers have either sworn SC off after learning about it or have already gotten refunds. The pool of possible backers was never very large but the shenanigans surrounding this project has poisoned the waters. I bet they are hoping that the middle aged men who live under a rock would give it a spin as they have some fun money and time on their hands at night. I am not sure how many non gamer middle aged men would pony up $65 on a whim. Roberts probably has done the market research and can see the noose tightening hence the land sales scheme.
We are going to help this mess to collapse. It's like the old El Producto commercials I used to see during the Wide Wide World of Sports with Howard Cosell "Were gonna get ya, You know were gonna getcha". (Now I dated myself.)
Off the subject, boy it seems that players have to spend an awful lot of time flipping through menus on that wrist thingy. So many more menus and things to deal with, not fun, simply more work. It's not bad enough that many people have to use their smart phone all day long, now they have a game and instead of enjoying some escapism they have to deal with a wrist mounted smart phone with tons of menus to manage. Sadly these players still need to go to a console to call down a ship. In current times you can use your phone to have a supermarket do your shopping for you but in Robbersworld people have to go to a kiosk to get their ships. More proof that this guy has no vision, he just steals what he likes from other franchises yet leaves common sense at the door. Couldn't you just have cargo loaded, have the ship fuelled and delivered to a gate of your choosing? Makes sense to me. Just another example of how the Robbers dictatorship fails the backers.
