Star Citizen General BS

[dsmart]

It struck me over the weekend, with all the media coverage of the 27K pack that very few guys in the comments were defending CIG. Normally you can expect the fanboys to be all over these things quelling dissent. Which made me wonder - a company with an aggressive marketing approach may very well employ a team for "social" marketing who may well have created multiple Alts to promote the game in forums.

Clearly I'm just floating ideas here - but with 450 (ish) employees at CIG: what do they all do? Because it doesn't seem like many of them are actually making the game.

Joe Blobber is an entire army all by himself

Oh no - just heard on one of BoredGamers vids that the Mech suit thing was a fake :(

Which means that the project will collapse without them ever having released a battle mech JPEG.

What's even worse, the project will collapse without them ever having released a game.

Any yet, how long do you think it will take Chris Roberts to look at the fake letter and say to himself - 'Now there's a really neat idea to raise an extra few dollars before I jet off to exile in Ecuador'

To CIG: it's 5 months since Holiday ATV Special, where is the Squadron 42 roadmap you promoted?

Lots of ad hominems and deflections in those Reddit replies.

In other Star Citizen news which can only be described by tilting your head back and laughing out loud, those clowns came up with this graphic to explain the bs with the project.



Yeah, $186M + almost 7 years (this coming Nov) in the making (4 yrs behind schedule), this is our version that better explains the fiasco that is the development.

Of course we know it was fake. It originated from 4Chan.

The diagram is missing all the whales beneath it which are keeping the iceberg afloat.

BREAKING NEWS!!

As if it wasn't bad enough, word out of CIG is that they have removed the non-warbond versions of the Razor ship sale from the store.

They also locked CCUs to Razor ships.

Which means, the sale is now pure cash only - no store credit, no CCU xfer
