Surely it can't be because the clowns behind the grift are making way more money being clowns and claiming they can't show the cult what's in the box because what's in the box needs a few more hundred million dollars and just a few years, promise for reals this time.

Surely it's because what's in the box is post-Gambo levels of awooga libertarian-alert hypersus and that'll make thousands of dollars of internet jpeg investments pay off.

That's the thing with Star Citizen: it's a big money-sucking cloud of vague promises, so it's easy for the believers to make themselves believe what they want is in that mystery box, just waiting to pop out. Imagine a video game about internet spaceships making this particular believer's particular come true and the mystery box pops open at last with a big steaming fragrant eruption of awooga libertarian-alert hypersus .

It won't, but I suppose putting enough money into anything will make someone believe reality will bend according to their invested desires.

    It's a "playable alpha" right now, which is also a bullshit claim because alphas are supposed to be feature complete which is impossible with the avalanche of increasing feature creep in Star Citizen.

    Well, in Star Citizen's defense even here in the Drej Tank, it is playable all the same unlike "Squadron 42," and it's at least a game, all right...
