What deadlines lol, every year they don’t deliver anything important.
They deliver new spaceship and vehicle jpegs to buy (and sometimes playable! Sometimes) and that’s been their revenue source for over a decade.
Attention midlife crisis dads who hate brown people being in their video games! Chris Roberts is in trouble and he needs you to buy another $60,000 ship jpeg! Just grab your mom’s credit card and enter the 16 digit number, expiration date, and the three numbers on the back to stick it to the blue haired baristas looking to queer up your vidya games and get the win!!
Ever see a photo of CitizenCon attendees? It’s
but aged up 20 years or so.
EDIT: You’ll see an even older
if you can find pictures of the exclusive le epic steak dinner that the dev company put on, specifically to sell yet another internet spaceship exclusively to the le epic steak buyers. I lost that picture when I swapped computers and it’s an old event now.Ever see a photo of CitizenCon attendees?
the density of bazinga brain there is approaching that of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy
Meanwhile the same chuds post FB/IG rage memes about how genZers being millionaires from OF or drug dealing while they have to work for a living only to throw money at this vaporware.
how genZers being millionaires from OF
TBF OnlyFans is the only place they interact with Gen Zers
but mom needs that credit card to pay for the gift cards for the fellow on the phone who is trying to remove her linux mac virus
one employee down alreadyEvery time I hear about Star Citizen, I feel better about buying into Elite: Dangerous.
I feel like i should just consistently post myself playing No Man’s Sky in Star Shitizen forums
That’d be a good bit, especially because No Man’s Sky is like the anti-Star Citizen: it was loaded with false promises when it launched, but over time, it got better and better and kept getting better until it genuinely impressed me as a day one hater, all without thousands of dollars needed to “pledge” for spaceship jpegs.
Star Citizen is the one thing that can make an EVE Online player feel superior
Every setback and drawback to Elite: Dangerous has been paraded around the Star Citizen cult as an indicator to keep the faith. That’s amazing, because they try to sneer at flawed content when their content is just dream farts.
Elite: Dangerous is the game that I want to get good at one day, and every so often I think I have the time, so I install it, relearn how to fly my speship a little bit, then realize I actually don’t have time and then uninstall it.
This cycle repeats once or twice a year
Elite Dangerous is fun as hell and it’s too bad braben is a dipshit
Too bad Elite forgot to bring it’s game design to 21st century.
I had fun with Elite before covid, but the direction it was developed in kinda killed the vibes for me.
How the hell does a game that isn’t even released have an annual convention?
So people can show off their Jpegs that cost more than a car, and so Chris Robert’s can pat them on the back and ask for more
It has an annual convention for the same reason it has internet spaceship jpegs (some are playable while many are not, even years after first sale) for hundreds or even thousands of dollars each.
this man could out-grift MelonHusk if he wasn’t just into vidya spaships
Chris Roberts already fancies himself the ELO~N of his own space fascist fantasy fiction:
oh no… no no no… i don’t need to know any real things about this guy… please don’t make me know things about him
They’re only fictional things, rest assured, about how he’s actually going to save humanity by bringing the light of consciousness to the stars and that his bazinga tech corporation will continue to be the biggest and bestest corporation even when there’s occassional little issues like child laborers getting killed.

In 2757, in response to the death of Anthony Tanaka, a twelve-year-old boy’s refusal to work, RSI CEO Avel Gedima acknowledged the sad death and ordered a complete evaluation of all RSI facilities to make sure that they were adhering to all health and safety standards.
i mean real things about how awful of a human he is to create lore about himself being some sort of savior
this hurts me
I admit it hurts me a little, too. It’s disturbing to see such a blatant overt narcissist receiving close to a billion dollars all by wrangling the hopes and dreams of aging gamedads.
It has been playable for years.
I love the double scam going on: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-citizen-dev-is-forcing-employees-to-work-seven-days-a-week-report/1100-6526879/
The stated goals of this crunch time are to finish Star Citizen patch 3.24.2 and “the Squadron 42 demo showcase for Chapter 1.” The report also notes that employees were pre-approved for 12 hours of TOIL (time off in lieu) per week, but only if the workers are still employed by Cloud Imperium Games when Squadron 42 ships. If any employees leave ahead of time, they will not be able to take their accumulated TOIL.
Squadron 42 was originally announced in 2012 with a 2014 release date. Four years ago Chris Roberts wasn’t even willing to show off preliminary footage of it.
TOIL just sounds ominous on its own, never mind the shitty conditions surrounding it
“the Squadron 42 demo showcase for Chapter 1.”
So after 12 years of development they don’t even have
Demo of
Showcase of
Chapter 1
Look they had to wait until they added corpse details up before they could do anything with the single player game
