For schadenfreude-enjoying sickos that want to know the latest about Star Citizen's ongoing grift spiral, here's a new video from an increasingly jaded big spending fanboy. (www.youtube.com)

"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

Do you know that Star Citizen takes place on a CryEngine map, even now, but with the physics engine spaghettified to the point of making every meter of that "tropical island" map count as a staggeringly vast distance?

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

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?

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.

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
