That's a lovely jpeg - all those Commando's enjoying the limelight and the salute emote!
Now - what would happen if some high-ups wanted to do a combined arms Org maneuver and plonk a couple of Idrises right on top of them?
I would have never been a backer, if I hadn't been baited and switched.
I remember all the excuses made up later, but there was no talk about "spoilers" in 2012. In fact the "walkthrough" with all the talk about the super secret story was late 2015 (a whole three years after the fact), the exact time when I got my refund, because "Star Citizen" (the one from the Kickstarter) was missing and Port Olisar was not what I signed up for.
Most of these "backers" are simply fake. It's called "reputation management". You pay your bill, then get tens of thousands of Facebook likes, Reddit upvotes, fake posts like these and any other pseudo-positive stuff you want for your company.
It's likely that the faked ("edited") screenshot comes out of CI!G itself. Usually only the distribution of "viral marketing" is outsourced, while the material is produced and vetted by company itself. I don't know if they pay these people.
But each Star Citizen is worth 4 normal citizens....
The devils in the detail with game development. In the far future when all the elements are in place to give the appearance of a functioning game their job will have only just started. It doesn’t seem very likely they will have enough time to get to that point.
Because it is.
