The real mmo is the Star Citizen forums
- steveylang 5y agoI was just going to comment, the real game seems to be the development of the game, (pre)ordering and outfitting your ship and gear, etc. It will no longer be a game, once the game is finished. “After a time, you may find that ‘having’ is not so pleasing a thing after all as ‘wanting.’ It is not logical, but it is often true.”
- the_snooze 5y agoSo the real Star Citizen is indeed the friends we made along the way!
- guntars 5y agoI like this take. There's a book called "Games people play" by E. Berne that changed how I think about things like this. It talks about how people on a biological level need to interact with others and how they'll unconsciously repeat a script (game) with predictable roles and results to accomplish that. The main insight is that these games don't necessarily need to have a positive outcome - people still get something out of it. So it gets repeated, to the puzzlement of any observers and sometimes even the participants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_People_Play_(book) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_People_Play_(book)

- Rebelgecko 5y agoFor sure. I feel like I've gotten my $25 worth of entertainment just from following all the drama for over a decade. If you have a few hours to kill, Sunk Cost Galaxy is a great rundown of how SC got to where it is today. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7SIP0NDfM2yyHKfRmCAociCcJKZHHY0E https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7SIP0NDfM2yyHKfRmCAociCc...
- sandos 5y agoThis is really true for Elite though, join an active squadron and the universe get a _lot_ more interesting! But a lot of the stuff is outside the game then.
