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.

just look at the in-game descriptions of the communist faction

"The space commies hate freedom and individual expression and stifle creativity and innovation" I assume?

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One of the possible descriptions when a stations is controlled by the communist faction is something like smuglord ”Communism is a movement that wants to make everyone equal, although some are clearly more equal than others”.

They're also one of the ”bad guy” factions along with anarchists and space pirates very-intelligent

I take it your choices of "good guys" are space royalists or space corpo-liberals?
