From what I see in their videos, is pretty clear Star citizen is not a scam, but is a cult.
I think cris roberts is honest in his dream, and he's pretty honest he's trying to make the game a reality, so is not technically a scam, because he's not really a con artist (at least I still believe this isn't a scam).
This is more like a religious cult.
This retard is a dumb retarded ideas guy with giant unrealistic dreams, that are technologically impossible for an AAA team.
He promised something that in his mind, and what the whales imagine, will cost alone, that promised, like the whales have in their mind.
IT WILL COST JUST ON DEVELOPER WAGES, AS THE WHALES HAVE IMAGINED IN THEIR MIND AND HOW CRIS PROMISED.
WILL COST:
24 BILLION DOLLARS (I SAID THE B WORD).
As the whales imagine and how he promised, will cost 200 million dollars per month, to be finished on 8 years of development.
So, no, he lacks the resources to make the games as the whales imagine on something as basic as the 100 star system promise.
And this retard keeps and keeps making retarded feature creep ideas, which increases the development costs, I don't have a fucking clue on the total ideas he promised, which I think as how the whales imagine will clearly cost a couple more Billion dollars.
So, no, this shit is like a giant center of the galaxy black hole of development resources.
I think only like maybe 2-3 countries right now could afford to make his game with something closer to fucking NASA in terms of money and manpower.
And this shit is being made on a fucking FPS single player engine.
So, no, this is why he has struggled 8 years on something as basic as the netcode.
Because the retard is making a massive MMO on a fucking FPS single player engine.
This is why the game is a giant pile of shit and runs like crap, because the engine is clearly not designed for his stupid idea
Everything made so far, has to be SCRAPPED and being remade from 0 in a MMO engine
So, this is not a scam, but a cult
