“Pyro,” the second star system of Star Citizen (out of one hundred originally promised as initial kickstarter goals a decade ago), was itself promised years ago and has once again been delayed until next year. Again.

Also, as a partial explanation to the baffling fact that this grift keeps breaking its old funding records year after year, new information reveals that there are less overall users than previous years, but those that are left are spending more and more.

The internal contradictions are intensifying.

My guild used to give a Star Citizen buyer(? Player?) crap about still believing in it circa 2017. At this point it just feels bad to tease him though.

How is Star Citizen even still a thing when Elite Dangerous has existed for years now?

It’s kinda shocking that he still has a fanbase, he made some pretty good space dogfighting games 30 years ago and not much else. It’s also pretty much been established that the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games were far superior in everything except presentation.

Roberts obviously wanted to be in Hollywood, not designing games, that’s why he shoved as many actors and as much FMV as he could into his games when it became possible. The irony being that when he did make it to Hollywood, everything he was involved in was a failure.

I love how this person is just dedicated to not being mad, like this vidja game is their child.

(I was tempted early on before I knew more about it, I admit)

I dunno what it is about my vibes detector, but I locked on to Chris Roberts being bad somewhere around 1994 when Wing Commander 3 came out. I just couldn’t do cringe FMV games at the time.

People tell me hating star citizen isn’t a personality trait. But it is and I even put it on my CV.
