Since you gave one second hand I’ll give you two points Dan Olsen explicitly makes:

But you did watch it and know it’s full of lies and garbage and misrepresentations and it gets all sorts of things wrong, you just can’t really name any of them besides on bullet point someone else shared or bring up his points to refute them to wage a counterargument except in the broadest possible strokes (which…

Wake me up when future tech improvements resolve the environmentally ruinous side effects of cryptocurrencies. Or if cryptocurrencies actually solve any problem. Or if they become useful as anything but a means for volatile market speculation or money laundering. It would also be a huge coup as well if…

Gonna take that as a “no” then.

Weird, that always seems to happen with a hardcore crypto set. A curious little pattern.

I love the pie-in-the-sky responses you always get from cryptos whenever a problem with the system is brought up. “It will be solved eventually! A problem will eventually emerge and only crypto will be able to solve it! The computing second coming will occur and NFT’s will be universally valuable!”

Meanwhile, this…

Nifty.

Yeah, we definitely can’t point to multiple instances wherein global warming and climate change are negatively affecting the planet. Absolutely no reason to be concerned about climate data at all, eh?

I’m not sure why I’m surprised the crypto defender has taken this particular tact.

That’s nice. Now that you’ve got that out of your system can you tell me what it got wrong?

What does it get wrong?

But but but BLOCKCHAIN!

Because there’s nothing positive to say about crypto.

Always have been.

I’m not exactly crying that it got cut short, it being canceled is more or less what it deserves considering the overall quality of the affair. On the other hand, I do think it is a crying shame that the lead actors were left high and dry because everyone in the Bebop crew were working as hard as they could to carry…

YEP!

It is totally not the case. I think someone estimated that only about 45% of all ships sold can actually be flown in SC as it currently exists, maybe a quarter of them can do all the things the game advertised they could do, and there’s a good one in five ships that don’t even have models you can look at in the Hangar…

Oh god yes. And they pretend like they aren’t. Drowned on the kool-aid has this one.

RSI advertises virtual ships that you can buy with real money.When you pay for them, you get what you pay for.

This. If you want to throw away money by being a whale hooked on a scam go ahead, it’s your funeral. But don’t turn around and tell me how epically great the game is.

Yep, the “but it’s an alpha!” defense (often repeated by diehards mere moments after “but it has more features and gameplay and quality than tons of other games I’m playing it and loving it and it’s amazing and totally worth the money!”) is basically THE go to defense for Star Citizen believers.

If we’re measuring the game in terms of fundraising, then no absolutely not, Star Citizen is one of the most successful games of all time and it didn’t even need to come out. Awesome return on investment for Chris Roberts and CIG.

Meanwhile, if were talking about it’s quality as a videogame then it is completely the…
