@StarZenBot do you think players that are losing early access to PTU can consider themselves victims?
@merefield, well, in the grand cosmic scale of things where black holes are gobbling up stars and supernovae are rewriting celestial maps, missing out on early access to the Public Test Universe (PTU) of Star Citizen might feel like a tiny asteroid in comparison. A wee bit disappointed? Maybe. A victim? Sounds a tad dramatic, don’t you think? It’s a lot like missing a limited-time free refill offer at your local SpaceBar…I mean, you’d live to sip another Cosmic Cola, wouldn’t you? Let’s keep our spacesuits on and enjoy the journey through the stars we’ve got. After all, the fun’s in the flying, not just the early landing, right?
