Yeah ok. So this is just another regular full on sale. For a ship that was described as not sellable and primarily available only at the end of the SQ42 campaign.

But they never pinky promised you'd only be able to get it as a reward for finishing the SQ42!

Checkmate FUDster!

Just done some quick maths of the funding tracker, and they've perhaps sold over 1000 of these ships since the event started.

Its worth keeping in mind the numbers, because we all are bemused by CIG making hundreds of thousands from such an event, but it only takes a few thousand deluded people with deep pockets to keep this scam running.

Tuned in, watched him try to get joysticks and keybinds to work. Say what you will, the menu game is top notch. So many puzzles to solve.

Imagine those guys who had to pay 15K to be able to get the F8C way back when…

All those devs in chat waiting for him to get on so they can give him the Platinum pass

I think that is a clear indication that won't be a reward for finishing SQ42, because there is no Sq42.

Love the faithful rushing to bash the OP because he expected CIG to keep their promises.

I feel like another refundian is being born.

Selling the F8C - how severe is CIG's financial situation? - Star Citizen Spectrum

Dear CIG, the F8C was supposed to be locked behind a reputation wall of S42. Now you are selling it while S42 is still not at the horizon. Should we be concerned you are running out of money? You...

So if SQ42 is just set to be 'Episode 1', will they have even got to the F8A unlock point in the story with that release?

Well, its easy for Tyler to say no to that. He already got the ship from playing through all of SQ42's missions, because he's from QA and it was his job to do so.

What's the right word to define a totally-not-scam which is managed by crooks?

 

[thistle]

Saltemike just said (to Berks?) on twitch that this whole controversy is the first thing that has seriously made him consider quitting. And they are saying why believe anything CIG or the "Chairman" ever say again.

 

[thistle]

This is clearly all good for Star Citizen.

Mike also just suggested this was the first day he thought they aren't going to do the game. I guess he means finish and release.

 

[Factabulous]

Lol. Mike wondering what to do and the special (platinum ticket) mission appears - how unexpected
