How the fuck are people still falling for this scam? Oh right, half of our country worships a braindead cheeto blob. edit: Damn so many trump simps in the thread. "omg everything politik" yeah welcome to fucking lemmy
The people who are playing Star Citizen are not the same people who are voting for Trump...weird comparison to attempt.
not really. the essence is people are stupid and that's the reason behind supporting trump or throwing money at star citizen
Why is it stupid to enjoy Star Citizen?
I wouldn't call it stupid to enjoy whatever SC has to offer, but I would call it stupid to spend more than 60 bucks on the game at this point...
it's an interesting take to defend, I would argue that the people still calling it a scam are more trump supporter like, as they are a group held together by a need to attack things they disagree with, based on some nebulous understanding of the evils it entails
Americans try not to make everything about us politics challenge (impossible)
Everything IS about US politics 😛
"Scam" implies that they're not delivering the product, and they are, as in you can actually go and play it. There is actually a fair bit to do. Not overly exciting non-stop heroics, but the game is trying to simulate what life in space would be like, and does a pretty good job of it so far.
Are they delivering the product? I was a kickstarter backer, and still don't have the singleplayer campaign that was promised. How long ago was that?
Well I backed it before the kickstarter and have been playing the multiplayer on and off for a few years now.
Pretty sure I said "singleplayer" in response to you saying "they are delivering the product". Which is false, since I can't play it.
Well since it's single player and multiplayer, yes it's partially delivered. The kickstarter, and original crowd funding through their site, did not separate the 2 different versions, so you did, in fact, back the single player and multiplayer. It may not be the bit you wanted, but it is a part of the overall product that has been delivered.
I can't play Squadron 42 like promised - ergo it wasn't delivered. Stop being a fanboy when a fact is a fact. It's an absolute truth, you can't change it by weasiling around it.
Lmao the copium. Your 400$ ship wasnt worth it.
look, generally I don't do this but, really? that's your take? that someone spent money on a hobby? I spent more money on injection molded miniatures for DnD, what about people who go to 3-star restaurants? a package of the cheapest Walmart slop also has calories, does it not?
Unironically didn't we agree that Protestant anti-fun shit was idiotic when we drove them out to America?
There's a lot to unpack here lol. Your first sentence says it all. Use that for future reference for everyone's sake please.
ya, i normally don't shame people for not being able to spend money, but you really set a new low
Is that what you were doing? Hahaha
lmao i paid $45 before the kickstarter and easily had my monies worth.
