I gave up hope when Marc Laidlaw posted his story treatment years ago. It might come some day, but it will be something closer to a reboot or a remake, a totally new generation's take on an old franchise. Not saying that it will automatically be bad, it could be good, but it will also be different.
The trillions they already extract are just for the regular churn, like Hegseth's lobster dinners or train loads of battle vehicles that get sent directly to a field to rot. Despite the Pentagon's repeated admonition that without a galaxy-sized budget they won't "be ready for war", when anything happens beyond the small-scale terror attacks they regularly inflict on foreign civilians then the "piGgY bANk iS brOkEn".
You ever see these people visit the set or walk around the vfx studio during post production? There is a huge herd of glazers that orbits them constantly. Laughing at their jokes, protecting them from lowly workers who want to talk to them. It's pathetic.
So at some point there's a giant sheet of pre-nugget rolling down a conveyor belt and they have to replace their "dinosaur" cutting dies with "6 7" cutting dies, and someone has to sit down in CAD and try to solve the optimal "6 7" packing problem.
The whole thing kind of reminds me of what happened to John Romero when he was given unbelievable amounts of money to found Ion Storm and create Daikatana. But for Star Citizen the money faucet has never turned off.

The village brown.
If one slice equaled average wealth then depicting Elon's pie slices accurately would be like a "to scale" diagram of the solar system.
A mutiny probably isn't going to happen but it would be hilarious. The ship is so huge it'd be like Spaceballs.
"Sir, we still control catering but the mutineers have the laundry, the ice creamery and the basketball courts!"
Damn, they still make them:
Consult on privacy requirements with appropriate school representative prior to project starting. Gender differences may impact privacy needs — avoid providing too little, especially for girls. Properly positioned partitions add privacy within budget limitations
I had to use divider-less, communal showers in grade school before/after swimming. Not only was there no privacy but the showers were disgusting, and there were no showerheads so you got laserbeam'd by a high pressure, freezing icicle of water. Also you weren't in control of the water yourself. Everyone got in position and then stood there under the sword of Damocles waiting for the gym coach to turn some fucking valve in another room.
Many plants simply can't fix carbon in the extreme heat unless there's an abundance of water, the patterns of which are also changing. Some plants have evolved strategies to deal with this but most haven't had the need, including the trees of the boreal forest. Not only is that the largest land biome it's a shit ton of carbon, and shits on fire, yo.
These people pitching this never cared about truth. Pretty soon they'll hit the bedrock of "dying in the heat is noble" or some shit.
Next time they do damage less than $5000 (this threshold varies by location, so whatever it is), take them to small claims. It costs almost nothing to file and attorneys generally aren't allowed. If it's a bunch of retired folks someone will have the time to go down there. Even if you lose it will cost them a lot more than the damage.
You'll have to prove you tried contacting them normally and they ghosted you, so have a few emails or certified mail receipts.
Saw this on a delivery truck.
