They absolutely selected the 6th because the 5 day early access would land on friday before labor day. It's scummy as all hell and yet here I am about to preorder lol. But at the same time they set it up so my first time playing will be over a long weekend so also not scummy... I'm torn tbh.
Because for the most part we know we are going to be buying it before it goes on sale anyways and preordering it generally lets us preload it and gives you some extras (that generally are not worth anything in game but still cool to have). The big thing for me, especially with this game, is that preordering it gets me a Sept1 release which is right before the weekend and I can proload it with the leftover data to help prevent a datacap in September.
I have not preordered it yet... but I will.
No one tell my StarCitizen ship collection this...
I thought it would be more painful to abandon reddit but jerboa and the explosion of content today has me less worried. I think reddit is now in serious trouble.
Some went to https://squabbles.io/s/StarCitizen but really I think this is the most visible. Main problem is that most people from r/starcitizen have other places to go. There are multiple discords and forums plus spectrum. Factor in that there is no real SC news on mondays so most people wont even be checking in until later in the week (when the blackout will be over).
I think it will grow over the next few weeks though. The mobile cutoff is on the 30th. So even after the blackout ends there will be a few weeks before a lot of people even notice something is going on and go looking.
We just need to be proactive with posting stuff here even if it's reposting older content like the ship size comparisons. Anything to get people talking, active and invested.
