And back in the Star Citizen reality distortion field...

Even long term backers are starting to get grumpy.

The Devs have been quiet for 4 months, and after a couple of negative articles on Kotaku and MassivelyOP this week about lack of updates, suddenly they post a message on their forums saying that they are going to "Draw up a new roadmap for the game" to share with backers, but (wait for it) this is going to take a while to implement. Oh and by the way, this post has absolutely nothing to do with the negative articles released this week. Nope, totally nothing to do with that.

The article on Kotaku is here:
Eight Years Into Development, Star Citizen Fans Are Increasingly Upset That Star Citizen Is Still Being Star Citizen

The forum post, and the colorful replies from backers is here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spec ... te/3260782

Maybe this pyramid scheme is finally coming to an end?

I doubt it. They will release a new ship for "free" (it may or may not actually exist in game at the time) and all the suckers will quiet down again for another year or 2.

But yeah, the tone deaf response is pretty amazing to see. Still cant believe people get this invested in a company that doesn't give a shit about them.

The comments are a fun read. I completely gave up on expecting that game to be "done".
