"Pyro," the second star system of Star Citizen (out of one hundred originally promised as initial kickstarter goals a decade ago), was itself promised years ago and has once again been delayed until next year. Again.

Also, as a partial explanation to the baffling fact that this grift keeps breaking its old funding records year after year, new information reveals that there are less overall users than previous years, but those that are left are spending more and more.

The internal contradictions are intensifying. curious-marx

    They put a lot of money into that grift. They don't want to freak out about that no matter how bad it gets.

    I've put no money into the grift (I was tempted early on before I knew more about it, I admit), so for me this is all spectator sport and a good time.

      I dunno what it is about my vibes detector, but I locked on to Chris Roberts being bad somewhere around 1994 when Wing Commander 3 came out. I just couldn't do cringe FMV games at the time.

        His ego trip definitely soared in WC3, and he's been chasing that dragon ever since.
