ICYMI: There was yet another Star Citizen fiasco which, unlike others before it, was squelched within 12 hrs due to a massive outpouring of lols.

My thoughts.

Also, @Charlie_L_Hall is writing about Star Citizen again. Yay!

It's all about money.

Once again, he planned something that he blew the budget on.

Then he tried to get backers to pay for the excess.

That's all there is to it.
Had he not reversed, it would have tainted the event from this point, and right on to Oct 10th.

He had to make a choice - and it had nothing to do with "listening" to backers.

I like how he managed to throw a sale pitch right in there too, right at the end of his walk back.
Meanwhile, we're 3K up votes into yet another Reddit thread about the latest fiasco.

This is all there is to Star Citizen now. Endless lols, zero games.

The most glaring aspect of this latest cash grab is that, as of now, 7 yrs + $192M later, NEITHER of the two promised games is anywhere near completion. So there was NO reason to expand CitizenConned. And said expansion is the usual hype-ridden drivel they shove in weekly shows.
