    Will pay 4.5x standard game prices for vaporware and patiently wait a decade for the game to somewhat resemble being playable

    Doesn’t have the time or money for movies and TV

    Bro you can just say you don’t like movies and TV and accept that you’re the minority here instead of claiming there’s nothing good anymore lmao

      The price for a star citizen starter package is $45-100 to 4.5x is a huge exaggeration. I have spent less money on Star Citizen than about 4 months of YouTube TV and have gotten way more hours of entertainment out of it than the crap they serve up on cable. I find it quite playable at the moment. Unfinished? Overdue? Absolutely. I guess we all entertain ourselves in different ways. I’ll take Star Citizen with my org mates over “Dangerous Naked Island Housewives Flipping Houses” shows every time.

        Who the hell mentioned reality TV whatsoever? Do you really think that’s all that’s on television? Brother, we’re in the golden age of scripted dramas and have been for 15 years. You seem very obtuse and to be debating in bad faith.

          Reality TV is overflowing cable and streaming TV. I’m looking at a value proposition here. I don’t see the value of a service like YoutubeTV at $75/month. I don’t watch sports anymore. I looked through the top 100 TV series of 2022-2023 and I found one show that I watched (House of the Dragon). I paid for 1 month of Max and binged it. The story was OK, but the filming and sound in some scenes were horrible.

          How many NCIS and FBI shows can there be on one network? Golden age? No. That has long passed. Now it is just cheap copy after cheap copy of the same show in a different city. I am completely bored by almost all of it. It certainly isn’t worth $75 per month.
