Respect to the Marketing team

Even with all the shit that’s going on with the company, the failed tech demo, all the bugs on live and PTU builds, major ship releases missing core features (ICA & Clipper with their crafters) The marketing team is STILL somehow convincing new backers and the whales to pledge between $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 USD a week.

As much as I love seeing all the posts about “boycotting IAE” or “my wallet is closed till X releases” it will never happen. There will always be delusional people on this planet for CIG to prey on, and we as backers have never successfully or measurably swayed a major company decision by coordinating a drop in funding or generic boycott.

I’d love to see Star Citizen become what Chris talked about in 2012 - it’s what got me to pledge. But seeing the dev team go in circles for the past decade has tainted my image of a future where Star Citizen actually succeeds. At this point we need a Freelancer 2.0 situation where a big company simply buys the game out and gives Chris the boot. He has created this team of yes-men that do nothing but cater to his every desire and it’s causing this game to fail.
