It is hilarious how you backers keep giving to the cause. I'm glad you can see the funny side of it.

Oh, the obsession game.
- You are obsessed with this game
- Just having fun!
- Sure, buddy
- Besided, you are here with us, why are you obsessed with us?
- Just having fun!
- Sure, buddy
The great circle of so on and so on continues.
Only guy who obsessively says "90 days tops" round here is you fella. Let’s hope you don’t keep it up for years.
The quotes thread is home to slightly pithier fare…
Alien mocap?
You're telling me i'm obsessed while your account is named cigwatch and exclusively posts in the SC thread. To be fair, most of my activity on the FDev forums are on here aswell, though I do ocassionally post in the normal ED forum. Also, don't you have a reddit account with the same name? Atleast I think I remember you from ocassionally scrolling the refund sub. Heh.
I asked jonneymendoza on the OC forum when he thought it would be fit for release, and he said 3 years tops. He has a LOT of faith in Mr Roberts.
I am DD Crash there and you must be Humbug as you posted identical posts here and over there.
Until CIG deliver on what they promised backers, in my mind its all debt.
Metaverse might also be an expensive flop. Just because something costs a lot to develop doesn't mean its going to release or be good.
Or how you bring up a freemium pay to win game that probably cost kopeks to develop, not exactly a shining example of development. As a business it does work, just like making grand promises and then not delivering on those promises.
But what you are doing here is classical whataboutism.
Yes, we know other companies are very successful with releasing games and some games have big budgets (although outside things like Metaverse or Star Atlas, Star Citizen is the most expensive to date, and still not delivered).
What we are doing is comparing how much CIG have taken from backers vs what they have delivered for that money vs what they promised.
Will metaverse result in a product that is worth 10 billion per year? We will have to wait and see. Maybe it will be good, maybe it will be bad, but hey, its on their dime, so their business.
I wasn't aware you were the only person to give CIG money. Guess everyone else got refunds.
Well, in that case, absoloutely fine. We don't need to consider anyone else who may be unhappy with what CIG have delivered to date.
PS: Since you're so flush, spare a few hundred dollars for a RTX3090?
Your money might have paid the barista for half a day.
Wouldn't even have covered the cost of the space door.
Buy an Idris?
Only because of Thoatse's constant animal pics.
I've been tempted to post this in Spectrum in reply to some of the more overt and aggravating white knights, but I'm holding off for now - some of the mods there have an itchy trigger-finger when it comes to suspending me.

Oh, hello. What are you doing back here? I don't think you belong here. You're waaaay too normal for this thread
These threads are worth the price I paid for that Aurora I can barely get to. I wish we were wrong when we say "Doom! this game will never be released" over and over for 10 more years.
I do like Peter Gabriel (Major Tom) too though. Not forgetting The Agent (whoever he/she is).
All the best everyone.
I think you misunderstood. I have not said anything about you. I had a bit of fun with the notion of the obsession game - a sillly, formulaic trope that has been repeating itself in thousands of discussions, on every topic, all over the Internet.
But, to engage a bit with the trope itself - it is interesting that you took it so personally.

Just checked out that thread. This is the inevitable consequence of how the game is marketed by CIG and the fans.
People get the wrong expectations about it. Yeah, they should have done their research (perhaps good if they find the refunds sub before pledging to see the opposite extreme of opinions, but most won't). At the end of the day, when researching a game, where do you go? Official forums, reddit, YouTube? Well, CIG and /r/sc moderators and faithful do their best to ensure that only the "correct" narrative is presented, and search for SC on youtube and you're going to be overwhelmed with CIG's marketing materials and videos from fans. You'd have to do some digging to find things like Sunk Cost Galaxy.
So people will buy in sometimes without knowing the real state of the game, and this is exactly what happens, and now CIG have created a new refundian/skeptic.
What the actual?!!!!
Jeebus wept!
