Fucking UFOs
You have to understand that if they can't get a simple thing as a unique ID right, then their game design will suck just as bad. Probably explains the need for 100GB. |

No its just a big game with a lot of stuff. And realistically, lots of games are about 100GB. Check your BF, Garys Mod, Sims... You're just whining |

Are you serious comparing a 90s game? And wasn't it Frontier Elite? Think coding languages for one and vastily improved gfx/textures and compilers. Seriously get real gx-x, csimbi is just bored and being a whiny bitch. |

Tom can't even install ad-aware without fucking up his computer and blaming it on drivers, so don't expect him to understand what internationalization is. |

Apart from visual differences, Elite Frontier/ Frontier Elite, please, don't nitpick  (there was Elite I and Elite II before it) had more content compared to Star Citizen in this state. Also, a 100GB game is a rarity...for now. |

So let me get this straight...
They're currently allowing people brief access to everything their alpha has now - space sim functionality with multiple playable models, multiple bases, missions, explorable planetary zone, FPS (not their alleged Star Marine thing, but basic PVP combat zone), yadda yadda - free for a week, and you're pitching a fit and refusing over their website naming???
I'm no fanboy/backer (I leave that to others in my family - I've been rather critical of RSI while maintaining low expectations from this as a space sim fan) but that's gotta be the lamest thing I've come across in a while - like someone going to a store and saying "Oh, I don't like the design of the entrance floormat, so not gonna bother looking at the products".... You don't really think that the people responsible for programming/coding their game are the same ones in charge of coding their website, do you?
Besides, there's no shortage whatsoever of good services and products with terrible websites out this in the vastness of the World Wide Web... |

It has nothing to do with website naming.
It has everything to do with a finite number of combinations of US ASCII. |

Is anyone else complaining about this? don't see too much about it. I only see you. 
And 100GB will eventually be a norm for games, especially like this one that is really like 2 or 3 games in 1. 3-4TB drives will soon become 30-40TB. This progression has been happening throughout the evolution of PC and gaming...More specifically in light of this game I'd say its them having compressed vs non-compressed content. There are a lot of dumb reasons for games to get this big too, piracy being one. People will be more reluctant, or limited to being able to download this much. |

Well, I was going to try it.
Either nobody wants a unique callsign or has problem creating one, nobody wants to sign up or nobody bothers commenting on that. |
