      A very special species of brainworms occupy the corpos that are that fixated on workers being physically present to micromanage/harass/creep on.

    I bought into the Kickstarter when I was young and stupid and my friends were riding the hype train. I wonder if I could sell my account to some poor fool and buy something better like Balatro or vodka.

      I'll put my vote in for Balatro. Knowing that community if there's an account age number that people can publicly see maybe you van get both

      There's entire communities out there to trade/sell Store Citizen internet spaceships and internet spaceship jpegs. You may have some luck.

      if you play it with some friends it's fun

      There's a staggering number of things that are fun with friends that cost a lot less, too. Like playing amogus or even skipping rocks at a pond.

        A lot of bad video games are fun if you play with friends too. I remember when The War Z (not to be confused with DayZ) was so bad it was taken off Steam, and people still used that same excuse.

        Of course, there's someone in the comments of that video saying the same thing. Does that mean SC is a good game or even worth playing? Of course not, it just means you're having fun spending time with your friends.

        A few more million bro, Squadron 42 is gonna be so good bro i-told-you-dog morshupls

          Criken2's Youtube career started with more or less having fun with mostly bad games.

            It's Star Citizen's "single player campaign". They got a bunch of Hollywood actors voicing CGI versions of themselves, so I guess that's where they spent a chunk of their money.

            I found a video from 9 months ago, and this looks pretty terrible, especially the FPS parts, but the whole aesthetic is so boring and featureless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDtjzLzs7V8

            Squadron 42 is the singleplayer main development focus which we are told contains all the features and functionality that will make star citizen great and which are then slowly drip-fed into the actually playable game. I have seen nothing besides the "wow cool features" that would put it on a level above 2016's Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.

            I don't do combat so I have zero interest in it, I play SC because I like doing salvage and cargo trading. It's also the only game I've found where you play as a person on a ship and not the ship itself, free to leave your seat and walk around mid-flight even going on to form part of the gameplay loops.

            I feel some dissonance with the rest of the community when a lot of the game's FOMO sales drives revolve around cockpit only PvP orientated ships where this one will be the NEW META on sale for LIMITED TIME ONLY tied directly into the SQUADRON 42 LORE. Like I just want to salvage wrecks, drag boxes around my cargo hold and do contraband runs on the dark side of moons but there's like 8 ships in the game that allow for this.
