If, after a certain amount of time, you can't recognize a scam as it's happening to you, you kind of get what you deserve. Wait, this sounds familiar.

The Star Citizen reddit is a fantastic example of molded and controlled groupthink, highly worthy of study by a wide variety of people: fiction authors, psychologists, future tyrants, cult depogrammers, "Nudge"-theorist technocrats, grifters, you name it. There's a lot to learn from this online fraud, a quarter of a billion of dollars amassed on hopes and dreams. No charlatans in the New Age or UFO community has done as well, to my knowledge.*

The /r/starcitizenrefunds counter-narrative provides needed balance and an escape valve for those defrauded by this online scheme.

* ETA: Scientology may have exceeded the profits here.

I think SC has evolved beyond being a fraud / scam. Instead it's just an early access buggy and boring game with incredibly priced cash shop options. The game isn't going to evolve much, there's no massive release on the horizon.

To CIGs credit, i predicted they'd have closed down shop by now, being incapable of sustaining their costs with a massively declining base of whales.

I have a friend who seriously thinks this game will launch. I laughed so hard.

Stop bringing your science/political/conspiracy nonsense into the gaming section. There are other threads just for that purpose under the General Forums. Please go jerk off elsewhere.

Star Citizen is basically the most expensive RP Lobby of all time at this point

By that math they will reach 4.0 by the end of 2042. I can hardly wait.

Unless something really strange happens, I will not be able to wait until 2192.

When you get your 32nd booster it will complete the nanobot injection turning you into a cyborg but extending your life by 300 years. This forum will still be around and Xeq will still be fucking retarded.

Star Citizen still wont be launched however.


My biggest hope for SC at this point is a lot of good tech comes out of it.
