Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Ah, but Zyloh has taken to Twitter to claim great success!

I think Chris is wasting his time selling jpegs and con tickets, he should follow another genius at marketing to the gullible and sell digital trading cards. And bibles.

They would FLY off the virtual non-existent shelf.

Nobody was suggesting Mike was though, seems it was you who brought that in

No, that was in response to this:

Plenty of room for view bots there, and in general some of the most popular SC streamers. Would be marketing money well spent I reckon.

 

[Viajero]

No, that was in response to this:

Oh I see. I hope this part made it clearer:

Just to be clear I am not suggesting Mike uses it. No idea. But view bots are a thing indeed, Twitch rules or not. And I suspect there are significant chances CIG uses them directly or through 3rd parties. There has been significant signs CIG’s pulse doesn’t falter when it comes to artificially support SC content creators financially, Rexzilla / Redbull etc. I would not put it pass CIG to consider view botting for SC streamers or other forms of direct or indirect support for content creators to easily inflate viewership stats etc.

If that was the case, Mike (among others) could be indeed benefitting from CIG´s "marketing money well spent".

SC is run much better, their store never fails.

Come on in, there's room for everyone!

In-game store may vary

More Stu on the open Citcon sales:

barely any tickets sold since yesterday afternoon (5pm in spreadsheet)

standard tickets didn't sell out at any point after 5pm's drop yesterday

Looks like the premium tickets didn't sell out in the later runs either. (Certainly not in this last one).

Still, CIG got their earlier-than-usual cash injection from the hardcore...

Unless you want to buy Squadron 404 of course. I don't think it even has a pledge button these days.

 

[Agony_Aunt]

It's all true!

That head is being subsumed by the subsumption.

While elsewhere Stu notes that he's doubtless full of it, yet again

CIG def in 'all is well, please ignore the hard sell' mode still...

Did they start selling citcon tickets 6 months in advance last year?

Have you tried The Crew?

Oh, wait, not possible, Ubisoft have pulled the plug on that.

 

[StuartGT]

Nope, in late June 2023 so four months in advance.

Not a Fochs to give?

Good news everyone, even premium tickets are still available

No Cash Til Roadmap.

No Cash Period. You Had More Than Enough.

No Cash Period. You Had More Than Enough.

When you see games like Manor Lords, done by a single dev over 7 years, it puts a lot about SC into perspective.

 

[VR Golgot]

All games work like this for the first 20 years...

 

[VR Golgot]

I believe this explains funding to date...
