His latest missive is no different from similar ones which he penned back in the day when he was - again - facing a backer backlash. If you want a refresher on that, @nichegamer just did one.

It's not odd that he showed up - out of the Blue - even as backer posts asking where he was kept being deleted and backers banned for daring to ask where the grifter they gave $300M+ disappeared to. And it wasn't to explain wtf is going on with the project or the money.

No, it was to address some inconsequential bs that he - once again - littered with the same lies culled directly from the well curated dreams.txt and then just regurgitated it in a bid to "prove" that he was still around - or something.

And if you had any doubts that this was a freaking cult of madness, this response to his latest bs could never exist on the game's official forums. This writer was kind in his response, because if I wrote a response to his drivel, it would be worse.

His forum missive gives you a quick understanding of how the official forums are moderated whereby you can't even ASK where the creator is without being attacked, banned or your post deleted. So once that tone was set years ago, it remained. His latest bs just reinforces it.

Without going too much into it, all I am going to say is what comes next should have happened long time ago; then this farce wouldn't be $400M in + 0 games. All that was needed was accountability. And those who kept giving him money are going to see why they should have stopped.

The fact that almost NINE (!) years + over $400M later Chris is still calling Star Citizen "early alpha" should tell you all that you need to know about the on-going scam being passed off as a project of two games.

Meanwhile over there, someone decided to check out the on-going free fly that's going until 23rd. The results were...well...read it.

Don't miss the irony of the him suddenly reappearing at the time when the backer numbers (which we knew were bs to begin with) have been revealed to be superficial.

The fact that a project bringing in and spending over $30M a year, yet still needing investor bailout should have been the huge Red flag that maybe the backer numbers aren't there; and it's just a bunch of sunk cost fallacy whales propping up an obvious scam.

April 2013. Well, they're now $400M in. Do the math if you will.

I just came here to amend this thread to say that of the 3 people I know currently working on the project, not a SINGLE one them has a farking clue wtf Chris was going on about in his post about atmospheric rooms.

Oh apparently more key people are on the way out.

That is all.

Yes, I know the link was broken due to copy and paste, so here's a better one.
