How the hell does a game that isn't even released have an annual convention?
So people can show off their Jpegs that cost more than a car, and so Chris Robert's can pat them on the back and ask for more
It has an annual convention for the same reason it has internet spaceship jpegs (some are playable while many are not, even years after first sale) for hundreds or even thousands of dollars each.
this man could out-grift MelonHusk if he wasn't just into vidya spaships
Chris Roberts already fancies himself the E~L~O~N of his own space fascist fantasy fiction:

oh no.. no no no.. i don't need to know any real things about this guy.. please don't make me know things about him
They're only fictional things, rest assured, about how he's actually going to save humanity by bringing the light of consciousness to the stars and that his bazinga tech corporation will continue to be the biggest and bestest corporation even when there's occassional little issues like child laborers getting killed.

i mean real things about how awful of a human he is to create lore about himself being some sort of savior
this hurts me
I admit it hurts me a little, too. It's disturbing to see such a blatant overt narcissist receiving close to a billion dollars all by wrangling the hopes and dreams of aging gamedads.
Bruhs should totally play Void Destroyer 2, it might not have the graphics but it helped to get me off from the phase when i looked at Shitizen and considered it. I guess too late now though, not after they paid 10000 more to SC than VD2 even cost.
At this point, I'm not even sure if the big spenders truly want to play a specific game anymore. They are paying for a dream of something beyond their immediate understanding, something transcendent.
Well, that, or they put enough money in to have space yachts and expect to be treated like space royalty by eager space-poors that will beg to mop the space decks.
It has been playable for years.
