I don't know why it took you $1000 to realize early access / crowdfunding is a horrible way to develop a game.
I unfortunately wore the rose colored glasses for many years. So I was blinded by the hype.
I'm looking forward to Fallout 4. At least I know when I buy it I get a game. I'm never backing crowdfunded projects. I simply don't trust them.
To all the people who I called "moron" and "idiot" for mocking the crowdfunding and early access model... I would like to man up and apologize.

3. Braben's game is a hollow shell. I don't know if SC will also be a hollow shell, but it seems like they're trying to flesh it out a bit before release. Also, don't forget that Braben fucked us all by getting rid of offline play, which CR is not. CR and Braben are taking different approaches, but I'm not sure that Braben's will be superior in the end.
Ever played the original Elite? The new Elite is basically a carbon copy, with prettier graphics. This is ALL that Braben promised, and he delivered. Big. Time. I too am a little bit let down by the 'big empty' of Elite, but at least he shipped a game, and one that the diehard fans of the original Elite wanted. I am not a diehard fan, far from it, but there is no way Im dissing the man for not living up to someone else's expectations. Braben shipped a game, what exactly did Chris Roberts ship??

A few thoughts here.
1. $960? What were you thinking?
2. $960? And you want it to fail? WTF are you thinking?

I'm now officially the biggest hater of Star Citizen. Since I can't get my $960 back I'm just going to make it my mission to make all the backers miserable. I may have gone a tad overboard and told everyone on Reddit Star Citizen to go "fuck themselves" to the point where they actually think I'm Derek Smart.
I hope the game fails hard (yes I realize I will be out $960). But I want Chris' project to fail so that all this out of control crowdfunding and early access BULLSHIT will stop. It's a fucking failed model and needs to DIE now. I'm saying this as a $3,000 dollar fully invested in multiple projects insider.
The only project to actually be delivered is Elite Dangerous. David Braben said exactly what he would make, stuck with it and delivered. He never bloated to hell. Keep the focus on what he promised. A wonderful human being.
Chris Roberts on the other hand is a flimflam, snake oil sales person.

Well aren't you the rare flower?No disrespect meant, but it's refreshing to see someone so heavily invested in this 'project' keeping an open mind and actually seeing past CR's bullshit.

Cutting the cord....er...sattelite dish....
Setting up a Plex server and have Amazon Fire on each tv.
What are you guys using for a setup?
Use this link here for discussion into the Blues Forums.
I use my PS3 as the media device hooked up to the TV, but anything would really do. Between Netflix, Amazon Prime, and PlayOn running on a PC to stream Hulu (non-Plus) (and other) content to the PS3, I'm pretty set.
Until the internet goes out![]()
