A ton of chuds see Star Citizen as the return of “real gaming” for vague self-conjured reasons

Ironically more truth in this than anyone would care to admit. Vaporware has a long and storied legacy, even if Star Citizen is a high water mark in scams.

I'm old enough to remember the Horizons MMO, Duke Nukem Forever, the appropriately-named Phantom game console... You're not a Real Gamer unless you've been suckered by at least one of these.
