Vapourware Scam Citizen - Only people with too much money can become StarCitizens! WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

[Humanity has risen!]

There will never be a better example in history as to why microtransactions should be completely banned.

If you pay for a game, it should be ALL yours, and NOTHING ELSE should be constantly nickel and dimed to you.

Some oil arab prince and his friends must be hooked into SC. I honestly can't imagine anyone else buying something so frivolous for so much money.

Derek Smart says it’s used for money laundering although I think he kinda misunderstands how ML is supposed to work. Or maybe I’m missing something in his argument.

 

[Malpercio]

Who keeps giving that company money and why are they so retarded?

Ever heard of cults?

 

[unfairlight]

Please buy virtual plots of land for a mechanic you can't yet in a game that isn't finished yet.

The OST sounds pretty good, I guess that's one thing that's finished and usable.

I'm not sure either what DS means. One specific case I can imagine is the following:

There are some whales constantly spending huge amounts of money for SC for the following purpose: so they can deduct these donations from the taxes. Maybe behind the scenes CIG is giving them back a part of their donations. Which would make the overall loss less than if they had to pay taxes. Both parties win.

This is however pure speculation. But maybe this project still exists because of that?

Chris Roberts is a genius visionary. Up to now not enough was paid to make his vision into something tangible.

We all need to pay more bros. Just buy that plot of land on Uranus. You can use it for residential space or commercial.

I don't think Derek is very smart. He's an opportunist. He's trying to build a career out of conspiracy theories about a game that is obviously either a scam or poorly managed. It doesn't take much intelligence to tear something down - especially if it's something so obviously flawed. Why anyone bothers listening to him is beyond me.

Game still isn't out, the story-based Squadron 42 still isn't out, and they keep adding more features - and ways to get player cash. Anyone who still thinks this isn't a scam needs to open their eyes. They really should have released the game by now and added player housing in as an expansion pack. The fact they're doing this now does not strike me with confidence they have any intention of releasing the game. Why would they? It makes much more business sense to keep it in never-ending development and keep the cash flowing in.

Derek Smart Was Right.

And?
"Hey guise, X kickstarter game with known poor management is probably shit. $250m, years overdue - probably a scam!"
"Oh, lambchop! Such a genius! +1 follow!"

StarCitizen is heaven for them. All of them will kill themselves on the announced date of release to reach paradise.

Why are people shitting on Derek Smart? He's been right about almost everything so far, and he has a lot of experience making all-encompassing space flight sims. Sure his games were very barren and low budget, but they actually shipped out and had their fanbase. If anyone can know exactly why Star Citizen is unsustainable, it's him, because no other person on earth as has much experience in making these sorts of games.

What about Chris Roberts? He has major industry experience.

Dual Universe after few months and fraction of the budget SC has, is already doing what SC cannot do after 5 years.

Anyone with half common sense should just forget about SC and go play DU, DU will be the 'real deal'

They are selling now real estates for their planets...

I thought the plots of land where worth "up to $100"???

That RCS fire doesn't seem to correspond to the movements the ships are making.

A moon in an un-finished early access MMO that is never going to be released has no value, so they're not wrong.
