That’s the mentality of some members of the star citizen community!
It's absolutely the funniest topic on the forum.
What that might suggest, I couldn't possibly say.
I love SC.

Also a reminder that the Sandi nepotism was kept secret for as long as possible. Eventually they had to reveal they were married. We see the same level of ethics and honesty in their roadmap, marketing and business model.
And how many run for a decade? Shows how funny they areI too love a good comedy show.
"You weren't supposed to look forward to the things we said we were working on, got that? Now that that's settled, here's stuff to look forward to we're currently working on!"
I think it's rather funny that after a decade, and going on for half a billion dollars, there's more entertainment to be had in a forum thread than anything CIG has produced.
Blimey, the Derek Smart of SotA has emerged, to draw some parallels…
The TLDR is: He thinks CIG have blamed unbelievers to galvanise the faithful, as a strategy. And that it’s a bad sign. (Tacitly admitting internal struggles with the impossible dream game, and that it’s not getting better any time soon. And directing anger for that elsewhere.) He presumes that things will get uglier on that front in the long-term.

I like how Joe has pretty much become shorthand for anyone who defends the project at all costs.
It was an absolutely fascinating read. It made me look up Warren Spector (the guy who told Chris "No!" back in the Wing Commander days), to see if he was doing anything similar to his other two colleagues from Origin. Turns out he's stayed fairly above board.
I disliked his prophecy of Joe just being the tip of a crazy iceberg
But yeah, def an interesting perspective, if fairly hopped up.
Yeah Spector seems to have fizzled rather than egregiously fan-flamed. But he was known more for putting the brakes on guys like Chris if anything, AFAIK.
Wait...did the backers just become the evil publishers? 
That's been baked in for years.Wait...did the backers just become the evil publishers?
That reads like a welcome letter to any run of the mill Multi Level Marketing Scheme.That's been baked in for years.
Good point about backers acting like publishers.
Imagine if CIG really did have publishers and turned around to them saying they were affecting their work by taking their roadmap as promises. I think the publishers wouldn't have been particularly amused by that. But backers? Nah, let's absolve Chris and buy more ships.
That's been baked in for years.
Said it before, and i'll say it again. Chris doesn't respect publishers, he doesn't respect the backers either. Its 100% correct. They get the same respect.
Cracked's turn
