Massively OP: "This is the worst business model."

Star Citizens business model: Crowd Funder / Early Access.

Some successful Crowd Funder games:

Superhot
FTL
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Shovel Knight
Elite Dangerous
Undertale

Some successful Early Access games:

Subnautica
Ark
Kerbal Space Program
Fortnite
DayZ
Minecraft

Being a crowd funder/early access game is no guarantee of success, but way mOP writes it the above game are just looking at them like this:

Those from lands where most everything is backwards, declaring Star Citizen to be the worst business model should be deemed high praise by those with logic & intelligence. Cheers!
Logic. When 1 + 1 = 0, or 1 + 1 = 1, but 1 + 1 never equals 2.
Intelligence. The state of knowing more and more about less and less. In the end you know everything about nothing and they give you a PhD as proof of your intelligence.

This is quite true, because the more I learn, the more I realize that I know effectively nothing compared to what I thought I would by that point.

Expert. X is an unknown quantity, and spurt is a drip under pressure. er... Say it out loud.

That is part of the Dunning Kruger effect. This is a kind of way oversimplified graph that more or less describes the effect.
Everyone is somewhere on this graph, and it's different for every skill you have.

There is an error in this diagram. The expert height is not normally shown as high as the novice "Know Nothing" side. And this doesn't quite explain what Dunning and Kruger described but it's a kind of good layman's description. BTW most self proclaimed "experts", like the ones you see on the evening news are on the Peak of "MT. Stupid"

By the way, in SC you are somewhere in the part that says Slope of Enlightenment. I mean you can fly a ship into the side of a station, and you know you know it.

Ah, the valley of despair how brief I thought my visit would be after learning how boyencey worked in primary school but 32 years later I'm practically a part of the furniture.
(whispering totally to myself but totally out loud) Are trash bins technically part of the furniture? Or are they an appliance? Tool?

Good question - depends on how you use them. I suppose I'd class them as "Transport" or "Roller-coaster substitute" when riding one down a hill.

Wwwwhhhhhaaaaaatttttt? :wut:
Star Citizen is not real and its a scam???????:drunk:
Me thinketh the deep thinkers over there in OP land have a glass is half empty mentality.

Hell I can't even play the game right now and Im not setting myself on fire and running through the town square screaming its CIG's fault.
I for one will have to dig into the couch and add up some pennies to create a setup that is EAC acceptable just to play,...But its just a thing and things are subject to change.:like:
As for the rest of you poor scammed souls I wish you all some bodacious Merry Christmas cheer in case I don't drink enough and log back on in the next few days.
Merry Christmas:o7:
