I was a kickstarter for this way back in the day. I used to not feel bad about the delay until I realised I bought it a few years after high school. More than once I had completely forgotten about this game and that I had paid for it. Which obviously pretty drastically changed my view on it and the devs, especially after learning a bit more about Chris.

That was years ago and before I learned about shit like the store page for ship pledges that’s hidden and only unlocks when you spend ridiculous amount on ship pledges. The $10,000 ship pre orders…

I’ve gone full circle, now I just want the game to succeed so I can never hear about it again.

But dude, Star Citizen ships are the NFTs of tomorrow!

Think of the fat stacks you're gonna get when the game drops, the plebs cant buy the pre-order ships and you take them to resale!

Please stop Chris. I’ve already taken out another mortgage and the bank won’t stop calling me. The divorce your game brought on was cheaper by several orders of magnitude. Approve refund pls
