Star Citizen Citizenship

They just noticed their game is P2W after all?

Also, it's been confirmed. They removed the 150K max UEC cap



So UEC is now 1000:$1

That's some epic level trolling

I would like to show my appreciation for CIG being 4 years behind schedule, with core systems being incomplete, unscheduled, broke, or otherwise MIA (I'm looking at you flight model). Also, thanks for not even providing a roadmap for SQ42's release.

I would like to thank CR for lying to my face about the state of SQ42 (and to a smaller degree the PU) for the past four years. I truly appreciate being told that certain systems are already complete, only to find out months later that these same systems haven't even entered concept.

I would like to thank CIG for denying refunds even if those purchases were under older TOS's that allowed refunds once they went 18 months past their own set release date. Honorable mention award goes to the community for defending the company and telling me that I'm not going to get a refund, when CIG doesn't have the gumption to do the same thing (I've been waiting on a non-existent specialist to review my account for 4 months now).

Finally, I would like to show my appreciation to the community, as well. They have, by a large degree, proven themselves to be one of the most defensive groups in video games. Between the constant insults hurled at malcontents or even slightly critical backers, and the fact that this subreddit has one of the highest rates of downvotes on reddit, I couldn't have found tougher place to voice my criticism. I've never felt shunned to such a degree in any other aspect of my life.

CIG can sod off if they want any appreciation from me.

OMG! You have to read the official CIG response to this:

And he's getting up voted, I'm jealous.

Pay to Lose ..that is Star Citizen.

They all paid to get CRoberts Hot Crumpet from behind ...(and Sandy probably doesn't even want it for free)

[Penny579]

how can it be pay to win ? 

It's star Citizen nobody is winning.

Incorrect. The winners are Chris Roberts, his wife, brother, Ortwin and their mates every time a whale makes a purchase.

When you put $27K into a fucking video game...and can't write for shit.

I can't stop laughing

[N0mad]

LOL about the harassment.

What exactly do they expect? This is what happens in an open world MMO when there's NO gameplay to speak of. People make their own fun - just as CR wanted - by killing other players / stealing ships / ramming their ship / harassing players etc.

[Spunky Munkee]

IF  they had their shit together (and they dont) they could institute a nanny program like collision detection we use on cars to cut the engines and turn on the new imaginary collision force fields to strop the griefers leaving their greifers ships temporarily immobilized.

If for no other reason they wont do anything for fear of taking a number of backers entertainment away from them even if it enrages one or two players.

They are far too busy drawing the latest Jpegs to sell every week or writing snarky open letters to their backers.

This crap never fails to amaze me. Now that I'm not a backer it's free entertainment.

Both of those spectrum post were great, not to mention how quickly they where toxic on the well written first post.

Meanwhile, over there

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/94l5m7/star_citizens_chris_roberts_downplays_currency/e3my55m

In the time since the SC Kickstarter in 2012

6 Call of Duty games launched

5 Far Cry games launched

5 Assassins Creed games launched

The Wii U launched and was cancelled, the Switch was announced and released.

The PS4, XBO, PS4 Pro, XBO Scorpio were announced and released.

The Day Z mod launched and started a whole survival games fad that died out.

Dota 2 went into beta and launched, and started an entire MOBA fad that burned out.

The rise (and maybe fall) of games-as-a-service through stuff like Destiny and the Division

Hearthstone started a digital CCG fad that still burns.

Battle Royale went from not existing to being the biggest thing going.

It's literally from a different era of gaming. The craziest part is it's not due out for many more years, so you're going to have multiple generations of consoles launching within its development time.

The gospel according to Gorf. 200+ points
