As a spectator sport, this is the grift that keeps on giving. :brace-watching:

      I didn't put any money into the Star Citizen grift, if that's what you're asking.

      That said, I'm both fascinated and disgusted by the guy. Star Citizen is a bit like a microcosm of contemporary grifting and liberal/cryptofascist ideology in general (the lore of the setting involves an "elected" emperor with temporary absolute power backed by a corporate police state that's systemically exterminating Japanese-coded bird people, for example) and the fact that it's made more money each year for the better part of a decade so far is hard for me to ignore.
