“Pyro,” the second star system of Star Citizen (out of one hundred originally promised as initial kickstarter goals a decade ago), was itself promised years ago and has once again been delayed until next year. Again.

Also, as a partial explanation to the baffling fact that this grift keeps breaking its old funding records year after year, new information reveals that there are less overall users than previous years, but those that are left are spending more and more.

The internal contradictions are intensifying. curious-marx

    I didn’t know that, I assumed that at this point they must’ve switched engines, but CIG’s incompetence really knows no bounds.

    They call it “StarEngine” now but it’s mostly because of a successful legal struggle with the people that own CryEngine where they slapped a new label on a horridly scarred and deformed CryEngine core.

    Is that one Wing Commander fansite guy still covering SC? The one who wore an authentic pilgrim necklace from the terrible Wing Commander movie. I think he even worked in the company at some point?

    If that’s the same fanboy I’ve heard of, well, he has been sort of swept under the rug years back for… reasons. libertarian-alert
