Fine, I give up. I'm linking to the "new" Star Citizen/SquadronMemeNumber's CitizenCON trailer, for a very specific reason. (www.youtube.com)

That reason is I've watched roughly and near-exactly this trailer five fucking years ago. You can still find it on Youtube if you bother to look. Fuck it, I'll do it myself. LOOK.

And that isn't the only time, or even the first. I'm genuinely amazed that this grift is so perfect that the same vaporware can get polished up again and again, spinning its wheels in place, and people on the official forum and in Youtube comments say they're in tears about this.

I won't say I respect the hustle because I don't lick boots, but I am truly impressed with how powerful this grift is that it's self-perpetuating with that little to show for it over half a billion dollars and over a decade later.

Star citizen was the game that convinced me to stop buying pre-orders. Bought the game 10 years ago and have buggy tech demo to show for it.

They have the audacity to now say SquadronMemeNumber is now "feature complete" which also means two years more before supposed launch. Again.
