Hot-take by LittleAnt: Star Citizen, the winner of MassivelyOP's annual Worst MMO Business Model award for five years running, thinks the game's funding model isn't abnormal.
Spends 20,000 hours defending a product he barely plays and is only willing to spend the bare minimum on.
That's so weird. But also weirdly familiar, so many of these guys who do this on various forums all claim to be minimum spenders, never post any videos or screenshots of themselves playing the game but spend thousands of hours defending it.
It's been 6 years since the PU started, that is almost 2200 days, 8760 hours of potential gameplay at 4 hours a day. You have played just over 2% of the possible amount of hours you could have put into this thing that you speak so highly of. Clearly not someone who puts their time or money where their mouth is!

MassivelyOP doing an internal team (10 guys) vote designating SC as a scam ?
Wow, what a surprise !
Let's see the first comment (must be one of the co-leader, the first 3 have more lines than the others). Ho, so strange ! CIG will sell NFT and Crypto in 2022 !!! What a totally unbiased opinion about CIG, even in the refund_reddit, they don't pretend it...
Andy McAdams: Star Citizen, crypto, Ashes of Creation. I have zero problems continuing to give worst business model to the game that continues to sell pipedreams to people without actually delivering anything, while still somehow managing to maintain a cult-like following of devotees. I fully expect Star Citizen will announce its first NFT-ship sale in 2022. Star Citizen scammery and crypto-nft scammery are like a match made in heaven. Definitely the worst business model.
Looks like something directly coming from the refund

Ok, so given the games referred to in the article you linked are probably released games, that would mean you are then one of those who think Star Citizen has already been released? Cool.
All we need now is to convince CIG to actually explicitly say it too, like yourself, and we are good to go for the same formal reviews, scores etc that the games you linked to have.

Well considering SC's history, monetization model, current state vs what has been promised, and probability of ever being released with most of promised stuff I think even most unbiased analysis would look very very biased from viewpoint of SC fan.
SC is next gen quantum game. It is in quontum superposition. At same time it is fully released best computer game ever AND pre-alpha testing environment with placeholder mechanics. "Observation" collapses temporarily said superposition to one of those states.
Boffins are currently slowing down decoherence by transmitting 'two dimensions of time'.
Someone should really tell Chris.
He could blast out the Fibonacci sequence across the Manchester offices, prolonging the grift forever...

Loving the bartender's casual bottle toss. But some of the NPC expressions are great too

Poor Chris Neal, he's a big fan of the game too (still unbiased?)
OMG, in order to have a monetizable abnormal addiction, that abnormal addiction needs to be monetized. And guest what, every company that designs their monetization system to specifically exploit that addiction to the maximum level of individual demand, is an abusive monstrosity. This is what the monetization of SC entails, assumes and exploits - addiction that let's them climb up the slope of each individual demand curve to its most inelastic segment.
But thanks for confirming that you understand what CI actually are and are fine with. And that you realize why optimizing income coming from the monetization system they designed can have exactly zero correlation with the fun factor derived from the game loops they (mis)implemented.
You can tell yourself the SC model is normal. It's really not.
Unfortunately, I think LA internalized and normalized it.
I have a product but it's not released. Because, you know, SC is still an alpha and the product is still in development!
Since when an alpha is a released game ?
But I understand your fear. CIG is making good progress recently. If you want bad reviews and scores, it needs to be done now. Next year reviews and scores could be too good
