You aren't thinking big enough, sure they can start to sell JPEGs of space waifus, but the real money will be in JPEGs of JPEGs of space waifus.

Or maybe they can sell parts of waifus. Let people design their own waifu. Start with a special $500 starter kit, and further packs of accessories at $250 a pop.

[Ghostavo]

I want MP3s of Chris Roberts describing promised JPEGs of parts of space waifus.

Promised concept art JPEGs of JPEGs of parts of space waifus.

This wasn't the direction I expected the thread to go after posting a science-fiction economy simulator made by Germans.

Think some people would pay money for the rights to this new Bowsette?

Don't tell Nintendo, they're not all that savvy with this internet stuff. Better not to give them any ideas.

An interview with Chris Roberts, 2040.

Q. Mr Roberts, the world loves you for the creation of one of the longest and best eroAnime movies in history. How did the work on StarWaifu begin?

A. Back then I was working on a computer game. We had no real idea what to do with it except "let's make it awesome!", so it didn't went anywhere, but we had a lot of people willing to pay insane amounts of money for it.

Q. So it had grown out of this game project?

A. Well, one of the things we got money for was selling pictures of waifus on spaceships. We made all of them individually, and despite each costing 30k$, the demand was so huge that we decided to switch the platform and make an Anime from the JPEGs we sold.

Q. Is this the reason why the movie ended up being the by far most expensive in history, with a cost of over 450 trillion US dollars?

A. Yeah, in retrospective I sometimes wondered whether it wasn't that a good idea after all. I mean, our company went bankrupt, our country had to go through starvation, and the global financial system and the entire economy along with it had a meltdown unlike any other before, but I'm still happy how this movie turned out, so I'd say it was a huge success all things considered.

Bold to assume Croberts would ever actually deliver.

Q:  Mr. Roberts, now that it's 2040...whatever became of your old rival Derek Smart?

[Nightmare]

A. Oh, that's a name I haven't heard for a long time. After having fought him in court for 14 years, I decided the best way to get rid of him was to give him the project lead for this Star Citizen thing. At first, he was excited, and told everyone how he would make everything better. Luckily, we managed to dump all our open bills on him as well. Due to this twist of fate he was the one being blamed for the terrible things that happened and the catastrophic shape the world is currently in. By the way, if you've seen Mr Smart, tell him that I'm sorry for nothing... and call the police, or somebody else to finish that job...

[Buckshee Rounds]

So FailureToReport is streaming the CitizenCon. They took 5 mins to load the game, showed off a coffee maker and it crashed the game. Cut to commercial.

It's everything I hoped it would be and furthermore Star Citizen is good!

[Spoon]

I like trains

[StarSlayer]

I am looking forward to fresh SC memes.

[X3N0-Life-Form]

I am looking forward to fresh SC memes.

ditto

face over ip
good

[Lorric]

The coffee maker crashed the game because you need your space waifu to make you coffee.

[Spoon]

Elite dangerous may not have space legs, but that also means you can't break them during a live demo and die.

[Grizzly]

I'd like to point out that Prey also has space legs and lets you break them. The survival mode they added is rather ace.

[Spoon]

But if there is one thing citizencon proved once again, it's that cig is producing a tedium/boredom simulator above all else.
