    OK this is Star Citizen in a nutshell.  World records broken as well. [...]

    The whole "Guiness Book" stuff is BS, they are selling ingame assets and call it crowd funding. The same applies for Zynga, e.g. Farmville is selling ingame assets and zynga is paying their Devs to develop stuff. So if the SC marketing campaign is crowdfunding, the Farmville marketing campaign is crowdfunding too >> Except that Farmville has more game mechanics in place.

    Yeah, but SC isn't shipped yet, so it counts :) 

    It's literally in the Guiness Book of Records, for better or worse. Who knows how the hell they're going to classify that in the future. 30 days would have been a more appropriate category, I think. Something that's more measurable and more fair. If that was the case SC wouldn't even be top 10.

    EQN / Landmark was nice to watch before SOE get bought by an oil company - now all is scrapped

    When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it.
    The cake is a lie.

    The man has promised heaven and the earth, everything you ever want in a space setting game, all your dreams, yes those dreams are gonna be in this game.

    Really?

    I really don't see this, after all these years It's the same thing, alot of promise, some video candy, some pixles for sale, wtf happend to the game they promised 2014?
    In all honesty this game is vaporware, it will never be released with the features they promise. If they do achieve it, it will be far too late to the party like Darkfall lol.

    Daybreak is the devil in form of a game publisher, they simply got it all and got rid of further develop the un-finished game like a cat runs from water.

    Totally agree. However, they never offered the insight into the game in development that SC has, no? Honestly, I have watched very few dev diaries type videos on SC and very few of EQN. I was just trying to figure out why SC is the Spinal Tap of open development or if it's just a "lol, look at me I made a comment" type post.

    What is Star Citizen you ask?

    It is the first, nervous kiss of your teenage years

    The dying, defiant light in an elderly man's eyes as he views his final sunset, and still finding beauty in it

    It's a butterfly with chromatic wings made of razors, flitting like a chaotic halo about your head

    The innocent, guileless laugh of a harelipped child who knows only that he is loved, and happy

    The whispered names of lost loves among the sand dunes at midnight that only you can hear

    Star Citizen is the angelic tune your soul hums to itself when it thinks you aren't listening

    It is the blushed cheek of a woman who only moments earlier was still a girl, and for the moment remains both

    It is an insect long ago caught in amber that dances only when you, and no one else, is looking

    Star Citizen is the game and the Game is Star Citizen and we are all meteors burning through the atmosphere in an eternal ballet of death and resurrection....

    YOU are Star Citizen, my child - you have been all along. In your darkest of hours and lightest of days you could feel  it racing through your veins like molten lava that smelled of cinnamon, only you knew not its name. 

    What is Star Citizen, you ask?

    It is you with all your masks and illusions and fears evaporated like morning dew in the desert, leaving only the fragile beauty of your inner flower behind, in full bloom. 

    You are Star Citizen. And you are beautiful.
