The guy uploaded a clip of him refreshing the page so might be legit or this guy has way too much time on his hands.

You underestimate how far people will go..
Sure it's the new trend to shit on sc .. but you'll undoubtably be surpised when you research it more.

it's actually cut together. watch the clock indicator in the top right corner, it skips a second faster than normal. Page refreshing also usually aren't that smooth, since modern webpages require image loading and sometimes the css will 'bounce' a little as everything is reloaded from memory.

It's way more likely the movie was edited. Especially seeing that when you refresh a page (with a direct link to a specific comment) the page would jump up to that comment at the top and not in the middle like it is now.

Even easier, just a greasemonkey script to change the content locally for the page

I say this as someone who put $60 into SC...
Who the fuck puts that much money into something thats not even released yet? Even if I had 'fuck you' money, i'd tell you thats a terrible idea. If I had $45k to throw away i'd be investing in companies

I put in the least amount I could back when my guild was head over heels over the idea of Star Citizen. Now I'm the least panicky one because I don't really give a shit about the thirty dollars or whatever I threw in in 2013.

Star Citizen was a mistake

Not for us drama connoisseurs ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). This is like no man's sky all over again.

But considering the hype and history, it's shaping up to be a much bigger No Man's Sky.

For morons saying it's easy to fake screenshots by editing the website source code, here's a video with me refreshing the page, which can't be faked. So it's real, more real than your game.
hahahah, "can't be faked"

Refunds? Isn't Star Citizen crowdsourced? Why would anyone expect a refund? That's not how this stuff works.

They have offered refunds for a long time now and from what i understand they aren't super hard to get.

u/Theheroboy Sep 16 '17
Yeah but they've missed so many promises and have just kinda sat on the money

Yeah when you pay into a Kickstarter you're supposed to get what you paid for. You don't buy in hoping that they'll give you what they said they will. Star citizen has missed the promised dates by years so the government told them they had to give refunds.

Who would have thought that a community based around video games could get so annoyingly obsessed with 'winning'.

The whole Star Citizen community is heading for a drama singularity
