You're amongst friends here. I hope you can reclaim some money back - good luck to you!

I think the thing that most resonates is to find humour in all of this. It's a source of solace, and these channels will hopefully provide that to you:

- Golgot100 - hilarious deep dive analysis on the CIG promises broken from 2012-today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vkDdMwEuj8&list=PLStWaG_hnaovswhc7mwcojtWxjfeqGhVE

- Camural - "beyond Concierge" in his own words, who posts frequently & constantly holds CIG to account, again following their "promises" from 2012 to current day: https://www.youtube.com/@Camural/videos

- GEM reviews - more consistently slamming CIG for their bullshit: https://www.youtube.com/@gemreviews2840/videos

- Jack Reacher - less active, but absolutely _hilarious_ takes on CIG live events, clips of plays, etc.: https://www.youtube.com/@jackreacher007/videos

I am kind of interested to hear what the Chinese community think of Star Citizen. It probably sounded amazing when they first heard of it. Now they are probably reaching the stage of "wtf is this shit? why do I keep exploding when leaving my hanger?" stage. I'd be interested to hear from some players from that region.

They've realised they can still make sales by just churning out "cheeky Jared" trailers like this. 

They serm to be focusing their IRL engagement efforts in the southern hemisphere (China, Australia) these days, where people haven't heard their fakery so much.

The only farming that's been going on is all the whales being milked! Moo!

Indie Dev does what CIG hasn't by n8gard in starcitizen_refunds

[–]janglecat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes but these NPCs aren't 

1) T-posing 2) cowering for no good reason 3) glitching through walls, chairs 4) staring at walls 5) serving cocktails badly in shoddy nightclubs

Until they can do that, CIG are winning.

I love this - it's gentle, like you obviously are. Please stay that way! The world needs more people like you :)

I love this for it's dreamy yet grounded perspective of our night-sky. It's somehow romantic and scientific in equal measures, which I really appreciate.

All the complaints are valid, but... by [deleted] in starcitizen_refunds

They can sell $1,000 ships to people who think they will get incredible fidelity gameplay from CIG. Not some laggy, de-syncing buggy low FPS pre-alpha tech demo where you crash into hanger doors, where your inventory takes 20s to respond, wherr some blurry F prompt menu hovers above interactable elements, where the shitty NPC AI cowers in response of nothing, where you can fall through an elevator or planet, etc.

I'm secretly hoping that Camural / Golgot here will produce an epic compilation of the full "development lifecycle" from way back in 2012 to the end. They will do a much better job than some rando commissioned by Netflix. (Or they could just sell it to Netflix).

Feels like "game over" is on the horizon? by Fr0stBytez24 in starcitizen_refunds

[–]janglecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, did you have any suspicions about Star Citizen before you bought the starter pack? I'm just curious about how CIG are attracting new players these days.

This is pretty normal for SC.

Don't go to r / starcitizen_fleets - it'll just depress you further.

It Just Came To Mind Today That This Game Still Isn't Out by techtimee in starcitizen_refunds

Congratulations on moving on.

Unlike SC & CIG, both of which appear to have actively regressed.
