There's often exclusive sales at CitizenCON kelly so those same 50something divorced bleach demons are paying money to pay more money.

Also, regular reminder that Chris Roberts, head grifter of this project and ego-inserter of himself in his own fucking game as its savior of humanity ( https://starcitizen.tools/Chris_Roberts_(lore) ) promised some years back that you'd never see him on a yacht because he'd work so hard to make Store Citizen launch in 2014. I mean 2016. I mean 2018. I mean 2020. I mean 2022. I mean 2024. I mean 2026...

Maybe in some ways he is the E~L~O~N of Roman LARPing fascist space fantasy!

God, this 1998-spaceship-flight-sim ass poster design i-cant I would really appreciate the nostalgia for that kind of zero-budget "labor of love by scifi nerds" aesthetic if it weren't attached to one of the most expensive media projects in all of human history

I appreciated that in 2012 when the Kickstarter campaign launched. It's kind of lost its luster after 12 years of next to nothing, even if it wasn't obviously a grift.

1998 is roughly the last time those tedious pale aging gamedads really absorbed a new game, so it checks out.
