it even says bundle right there you nincompoop, not that it's even worth it even if you get every single ship past present future with lifetime warranty
I have a friend who interviewed some of the diehard supporters, basically the development itself has become its own cultural phenomenon. A lot of them say they don't even care if the game never releases because the "whaling without gaming" aspect has become a game all on its own.
It's just a community taking the 'flexing' side of a game and amplifying it in absence of a more complete gameplay experience. Basically skipping the game (since it's still in development) and going straight to the whaling
>it's another morons think there is no gameplay and hasn't been for years episode
holy shit just fricking die already. The War for Jumptown is over a year old already and the game has only gotten better
>defending
where did that happen? Oh it didn't, did it. I must ask you though, senior homosexual. If some moron wants to throw THEIR money at you, would you be a moron and not take it?
>we
"We" did not "get here". People all over the globe spend crazy money on silly shit and have for millenia. This is a particularly amusing vidya instance but it's not indicative of anything new or special as a concept.
Look at American consumers, they are fricking insane. Go to a rural town and you will see minorities driving around in $40-80k vehicles they got at 20% apr with bald tires and lift kits. These "people" do not own a home and if they do it's like a 200k piece of shit.
>rich people exist >how did we get here?
Capitalism? It's kinda funny that people expect rich people to be on yachts somewhere and not bother them. Rich people also play video games, i know, shocking. >b-but they're not rich, t-they're just l-like me, but irresponsible with their m-money! yes! that's it!
Whatever makes you sleep better at night.
I have a friend, a real life friend not some internet homosexual, ive been to his house and met his wife and his kids, he makes 80k dollars a year and owns 40k dollars worth of star citizen ships.
Some whales are just poor people who are horrible with money.
They keep upping the grift and people keep paying. Remember when they had like a $2000/plate dinner that probably actually cost about $10 per person and only invited whales who spent like over $15k so they could show them a ship that would cost them like $3k? And those fat and awkward fricks gave them a standing ovation?
>$2000/plate dinner that probably actually cost about $10 per person
Why do you say this like it's revealing fact and not the point of the plates? Everyone knows you're paying as a contribution, not because you expect a $2000 meal.
So does Scam Shitizen take echeck and wire transfers? Most credit cards have a limit and i'm pretty sure a bank is going to shutdown your debt card if you tried charging that much in a transaction.
People with bad spending habits are on average poorer than people without such. I'm not sure where the "spending addicts are rich" narrative comes from.
>I'm not sure where the "spending addicts are rich" narrative comes from.
It's just a transparent cope. Every time someone points out that anything is ludicrously overpriced, obsessed morons crawl out of the woodwork to call everyone poor. You don't get rich by spending tens of thousands of dollars on a bunch of theoretical pixels in a game that isn't even out yet. That's the mindset of brainwashed NFT bros who spend their life savings on a JPEG that's worth $5 two years later. And when you laugh at them they flip their shit and start calling you a poorgay to cope with the fact that they have the impulse control of an incontinent puppy.
should be illegal. this is exploitation of mentally impaired. we can't just sit around and let Roberts take advantage of those morons. we have to do something!
It seems like selling whale gear is a more prudent way of getting investment capital than actually seeking out moronic venture capitalists. Probably more profitable long term too since you keep full control of the resulting product.
I'm surprised more games don't offer 5 figure pay to win instantly sets that single-handedly pay for an employee by themselves.
Capitalism.
Kali Yuga
if capitalism is the cause for people having vasts amount of disposable income to spend on virtual items in video games then holy fricking based.
They be forced to give me the money because I can't compete in a capitalist economy & I feel that I deserve it because I'm entitled.
>buying a $48,000 spaceship in a video game
>not buying a car or anything else with that money
imagine buying a fricking car for 48k
lol
You could get a nice used car from an old lady for that.
Car prices these days are fricked
a basic b***h new car in muttland is gonna run you about 33-35k
You can get a brand new Nissan for 15k.
i'd rather walk. gonna try to sell me a fiat next?
Imagine being a broke homosexual
have you looked at car prices outside of 40 year old eastern bloc stuff?
30 year old camrys are still $10K+
new cars start at $30k and easily hit $40k
If people can afford that they don't need anything else in life
it even says bundle right there you nincompoop, not that it's even worth it even if you get every single ship past present future with lifetime warranty
the kind of people who have $48k they can casually throw around are the kind of people that already have a few sports cars
>buying a $48,000 spaceship in a future video games endless buggy alpha
ftfy
Clearly people who buy these things are 40+ year olds who already have what they want.
You could almost buy an H2R with that money.
Chris is going to milk his audience of midlife crisis boomers dry before running away to China with the money.

its basically a cult
It's just a community taking the 'flexing' side of a game and amplifying it in absence of a more complete gameplay experience. Basically skipping the game (since it's still in development) and going straight to the whaling
You're gonna post this and not post the interview?
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEND MONEY ON THINGS YOU ENJOY REEEEEEE
why are poorgays like this?
>Nooo you can't laugh at us for being idiots with money
why are wannabe richgays like this
seethe
>Artificial scarcity, paywall and p2w is le good. Stop seething and go work overtimes so you can experience peak gaming too.
>have to work overtime for that
oh my poorgay
Eh as long as they didn't borrow my money to buy that crap I don't care
The fricked up part isn't the people made a bunch of pixels costing $48,000. Grifters gonna grift.
The fricked up part is that there are people who are so utterly brainwashed that they're willing to pay that much.
>vote with your wallet
>Meanwhile:
By the time Star Citizen comes out you'll be able to buy a real spaceship for that much money.
>it's another morons think there is no gameplay and hasn't been for years episode
holy shit just fricking die already. The War for Jumptown is over a year old already and the game has only gotten better
ok show us some epic "gameplay"
it's named in the post, moron-kun. go search for it or frick off
Okay so I guess there's no gameplay yet then since you didn't post any
It could literally be the best game ever made in the history of the world and I'd still call you a brainwashed moron for defending a $48,000 DLC ship.
>defending
where did that happen? Oh it didn't, did it. I must ask you though, senior homosexual. If some moron wants to throw THEIR money at you, would you be a moron and not take it?
NTA but what if it's an old lady confused about investing her life savings
Space Dads
Kill ALL boomers
LETTING THE WHALES GO BUY
LET THEIR WALLETS HOLD ME DOWN
ENTER THE israelite AGAIN

Why should I be mad at this? Also I'll be provocative and say that rich patrons have a long history when it comes to supporting great works of art. =)

In a rural town $200k will buy you an amazing house.
>200k piece of shit.
Hello fellow coastal poster
a shit house in bumfrick nowhere 6 hour's drive from the city sets you back $600k these days anon
i wish i was a saudi prince

They might let you pay by installments.
i guess poorgays dont realise you can talk to your bank and set transaction limits for individual transactions
>poorgays seething over people with disposable income again
get a job neets

possibly the greatest scam in gaming, congrats

I opened my phone and started reading on forchan.

should be illegal. this is exploitation of mentally impaired. we can't just sit around and let Roberts take advantage of those morons. we have to do something!
separating a fool from his money is a good thing
That's insane. With $48000 I could fix every single problem in my life, and then have some left over.
if something as basic a year's income could solve your problems you wouldn't have any in the first place
What? What are trying to say?
money won't make you less moronic. morons always find new problems. that i even had to clarify this for you is telling.
You didn't write it correctly, you esl homosexual.
yes i did, again this is you being a moron
Whatever you say, esl. Maybe learn how to use punctuation, and write things out better. I'll let you have the last word now. 🙂
It seems like selling whale gear is a more prudent way of getting investment capital than actually seeking out moronic venture capitalists. Probably more profitable long term too since you keep full control of the resulting product.

Bros I spent $600 am I safe from being a whale?
generally the high-spender cutoff is $30/y
