I take it you're banned on RSI again.

[Alek Ituin]

Fakkin lol. SC fans are in one of two groups: The first group is normal, every day people, "Oh yeah, I'm watching/have backed SC, looks pretty nifty"; and the second group is rabid fans, "ERMEHGERD RSI IS TH BEST AND EVERYBODY ELSE SUCKS, SC BEST GAME EVER, IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER THAT IT'S DELAYED TO HELL AND THERE'S NOTHING REALLY TO IT!!!!".

The second group will literally attempt to rip your arms off, and beat you to death with the soggy ends, if you say anything bad about RSI. I think the best term for them is "quasi-religious zealots"

Isn't that the company that wants you to pay triple A title prices for a single ship that you can lose forever?

LOL

So like, rich people use this game to destroy each others wallets? Suddenly I'm all about it.

EvE has spaceships worth over $8000 floating around. Mind you, these are ultra-rare supercarriers, but a normal Titan probably runs for about $5000-$6000.

Most capital engagements end with several dead Titans and super-carriers (f**king Russians will drop Titans on anything that moves, so battles rapidly escalate with them). Not counting the enormous costs in Dreads and carriers, along with supporting fleets... A medium sized EvE battle would cost you around $20k or more, and they happen multiple times a day, every day.


Internet spaceships is srs bidness, bruh.

63.5 million dollars in funding and counting.

In all seriousness, it has about the same content as MWO, but it suffers from a critical flaw: you must submit to Nintendo-styled friends codes, rather than a sane lobby, or a friend's list. They're allegedly gonna fix this in the upcoming patch, which will add armor and more guns.

Two things

1) Technically EVE doesnt have anything of real dollar value, since it can all be purchased/made with in game resources. Only stupid people pay $8,000 for something they can get for free.

2) Again unlike EVE SC makes you actually purchase ships for real world dollars unlike EVE. EVE you pay a subscription fee and everything is available to you.

I´d love to see the shitstorm when RSI pulls an IGP ...
and no, I´m not really sorry for the dark amusement this gave me right after getting up, so thanks for getting me started good

Yeah. I think most people know that EVE isn't a payfest like this other thing is. Or they should. Kinda glad someone took the time to explain it.

[Popper100]

You see, I might sympathize with PGI over this wall of hatred they recieve.

That is, if they hadn't broken promises, made all important records impossible to find, had made a game with easy expansion points so other people would ***** less, made content that wasn't pure money grab, had devs that were personable, didn't hire and keep a CM that was a pretentious ass who battled the community, weren't greasy and gave off the vibe of trying to sell me a Rolexxx, and generally had fair pricing in their game.

Y'know, the small things. Maybe CW and drop decks will fix a few problems. Although I'll profess, I hate the name Community Warfare, it sounds ******* stupid. Why not Galactic Warfare? Planetary Conflict, since that is what we have first? I don't know, maybe I'm bitter.

Thanks, I needed something ridiculous to laugh at this morning

[meteorol]

The amount of guys playing MWO thinking they are entitled to a refund is hilarious and frightening at the same time.
There is a huge number of guys who don't seem to be able to understand what they actually buy when getting a mechpack or MC (hint: you neiter buy CW nor better hitdetection/maps/gamemodes)
Better yet, they really think they are entitled to get a refund months and years after their purchase.

Yes it is.

[mania3c]

While I agree PGI and dead IGP made some shady moves and PGI now has long way in front of them to be respected by players again..I can honestly tell you, Star Citizen crowd is the most idiotic fanboys group you can find..

Those are crowdfunding pledges, buying the cheapest package gets you the game and a starter ship, everything else is purely to support development.

[Karl Marlow]

So how many promises has RSI broken at this point? All these shiny expensive ships and nowhere to fly them.
