That reason is I’ve watched roughly and near-exactly this trailer five fucking years ago. You can still find it on Youtube if you bother to look. Fuck it, I’ll do it myself. LOOK.

And that isn’t the only time, or even the first. I’m genuinely amazed that this grift is so perfect that the same vaporware can get polished up again and again, spinning its wheels in place, and people on the official forum and in Youtube comments say they’re in tears about this.

I won’t say I respect the hustle because I don’t lick boots, but I am truly impressed with how powerful this grift is that it’s self-perpetuating with that little to show for it over half a billion dollars and over a decade later.

    The real entertainment for me is watching the people still defending it.

    Love how gamers don’t give a shit about anything they’re pouring money into. Every role is a celebrity cameos by A list Hollywood actors? Hard pass

          Little trivia fact: Chris Roberts is such a laughably bad director that the only character material he provided for Gary Oldman to work with was that his character was very old. That’s it. That’s why he talked like that through the trailer.
