This version? No. It's already slated for death in 2.4 (thus, maintenance bug releases).

Do I think it'll be fun by the end of 2016? No. If they continue to get money I could see them fixing things, but that entirely depends on people funding them another $50 million. I don't know how realistic that is. Unlike the goons I tend to watch the week chart instead of the daily/hourly charts, and it's been relatively steady with the lowest dip at $300k. Tracking the daily chart seems silly to me, but I get why people like doing it.

I don't know if they'll make what they need to fix it. They've made a lot of mistakes and have a massive engineering debt that is still not close to being paid off.
To be honest, if you're looking at the week chart, keep in mind that sales will skewer the overall trends. Even the somewhat lacklustre sales of recent do cause a small amount of rallying in terms of funds.

A new weekly video by CIG called Extreme Lesnick Eating. First episode is due to be him ploughing through a trough of Chicken Korma with a Naan bread the size of a mattress. Look out for it coming to a stream near you in two weeks (or thereabouts).

i'm just tired of people get run out of the thread for stupid bullshit

like when people ran out fuzzknot and bootcha, who gives a poo poo if fuzz's posts were annoying someone, just close your eyes and turn off your monitor it's not real. or you know just scroll down, nobody's forcing anybody to read these shitposts and cats. just skip pages, who cares, if something interesting happened people will still be talking about it 40+ pages in

posts by goons complaining about other goons posts are the worst, including this one i just made

Fuzzknot wasn't run out of the thread by Goons, fuzzknot dialed up the psycho to 11 and got herself probated for being too crazy for this, the Derek Smart Star Citizen Thread. Bootcha, the man who thought it was a good idea to give Chris Roberts hundreds of thousands of dollars, decided to quit the thread in solidarity.

This would be the weirdest thread on SA if people posting like idiots didn't get criticism. Including me, natch. This thread can be such a weird bubble at times.

It's a better gauge in trending interest for exactly that reason. Just not as fun to point and laugh at. What I foresee for CIG is a drop-off in interest if they cannot get that dress-up mode released by May. That's probably why they're rushing on getting it in. I could see that bump sales as the fans rush to play dress up their avatar and look different. It's going to look silly to a bunch of 30-40 year old men, but there's a major market out there for making avatars unique in whatever way one can. It's how a lot of F2P games (which is almost certainly where SC would end up if it ever comes out, lololol) get their primary funding. League and DoTA2 made an entire market out of it.

So that's what I see. If they can get that they'll get another boost for 3-4 more months of funding. Following that, they'll need to get something that actually shows off a career in the PU. I believe Mining is what they're trying to hit next? But I haven't been paying attention. They'll have to show something beside doll dressup. If they are unable to deliver on any of the career choices, they're doomed, but if they land even a simple version of mining, they'll be able to keep the lights on a few more months.

That's basically what CIG is right now. They're living on borrowed time and they have to keep pushing out buggy incomplete ideas or everything folds. This, by the way, is how a game eventually fails. When you get stuck on a treadmill that's requiring more complex and more difficult releases. They already showed they cannot deliver on the mPU being fun. There is only so much time left to them to get the next money thing out, and each following release will be more harrowing, and I suspect, more buggy and return less value until they implode.

Yeah, he specifically said a group of people were planning on doing a coordinated walkout and that 11 would be leaving soon. Not that I really believe his info tbh. Too much teasing not enough content at this point.
