Oh but you don't understand, this game is taking a long time to finish. That's totally worth aaaaallll these circle jerk posts and vitriolic responses. It's like ten holocausts wrapped in a 9/11. Also, some rich people voluntarily gave them money. That's evil because reasons. Also, a not rich person spent all of their life savings on pretend space ships an regretted it. That's the games fault though, also because reasons.
Everyone has to know how much they hate Star Citizen. It's vital to engage with every article and post about a game they don't play or like because that's how kind, normal, mature, not weird people act. They hate other games too and generally ignore them, but this one feels good to hate loudly and publicly beyond any other game, so it must be true. It's not weird at all to bully people for having fun because the internet says their game is taking a long time.
The fact that riling people up by spreading misinformation makes tabloids money is not relevant to the situation. The people playing the game are wrong about their own experiences. The internet can never be wrong, the hive mind is always correct.
