A weird time when Derek Smart, mortal enemy of goons, leads a section of the forums

if you're not looking forward to the wet thud of a mediocre game shoveled out in a panic just as the space-game craze comes to an end then you are dead inside

personally i look forward to picking it up at a deep discount after the servers are shut down, installing it and then never, ever playing it.

odds are the installer wont even work on most computers lol.

Are there links to the good/informative posts in this thread available anywhere? Because the OP is pretty interesting and absolutely crazy, but I don't want to wade through 1000 pages for updates. Or is everything after the first page just goons obsessing about stuff until it becomes creepy as per usual?

Mr. Or Ms. Keg what do you think in your deepest depths of heart?

That thread is toxic hellhole where no citizen should go. If you want to good information you should check reddit or RSI's own site.

That's not great either though cause thats full of rabid fans going the other way and outright lies from the scammers.

I'm eagerly awaiting the day when they just go "welp those alpha modules ARE star citizen! Thanks and goodnight!!!" and then they close the studio for lack of funds

And the credits roll.

Worst part is most farms get tons of money from the government just to stay afloat.

Hes doing this on our money.

It's more mismanagement powered by a desperation to be proved right after all these years. And tragically it's something that's infested the core team, almost all who are all washouts with a floundered career of some sort, who follow Roberts out of hope to see their own reputations restored.

No doubt there's all sorts of hollywood accounting going on, made easier by the fact it's donation based as opposed to relying on providing investors and stockholders assurances.

However I do see Roberts as Captain Ahab, determined to claim revenge for the great whale that wounded him and seeing his crew as expendable hands in achieving this goal. Much like how Ahab is propped up with a whale leg, Roberts too is kept propped up by whales of a different sort. And like Ahab, his desperation will have him dragged into the depths by his own ropes.

Only in this case Roberts would likely resurface again to try his hand at yet another grand scheme.

Does that make Derek Smart Ishmael?

Everything has to end one day. There will be new, even more autistic scam cults. Someone will kickstart something to do with trains and the cycle will start again.

In space they say no one can hear your autistic rage screams.

Fortunately for us we're on earth and their screams will be glorious.

Oh if only they had made the game as described at the end of the Kickstarter and stopped selling JPG ships this could have been something.

All I wanted was a loving multiplayer bridge commander, pretty much. That's it. You'd think blending FPS ship movement with a space environment outside wouldn't be that hard. It doesn't have to be perfect, I don't have to have a SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE. I'm OK teleporting out of a ship to walk around a FPS base or something.

Basically I just wanted a Privateer with first person elements and mutlicrew multiplayer. That's it. How did they cock that up?

they saw idiots were willing to give them money. And Croberts was at the helm.

I didn't intend for this thread to make it more than a day in 2016 but here we are! Anyways holy cow WebDog knows too much!

I will say that queeqaag seems like a good role for Derek Smart. The coffin -> lifeboat conversion seems appropriate for that tale.

As for Lesnick being Ishmael. I'm not sure, Lesnick believes in Croberts more than croberts does at this point I'm pretty sure. For all the crap he throws out I'm 100% convinced that Lesnick is like the #1 cultist in the house of croberts. He'll be there chanting praises as it goes down in flames.

I'm just baffled every time I look and see they have more money I remember when it was like 45mil and I thought to myself, "Holy cow, that's a lot of money for a guy who made a game back in the late 80s early 90s."

Now its 100mil? I sincerely hope I make a hit game or something in my life and then 20 years later do a kickstarter for it and psychopaths shell out millions upon millions for it.

Looks like I better focus on the space / train market.

Doobs is a more competent manager than Chris Roberts imo.

He also has an actual product which has expanded to oil changes now.

Oh yeah, that's the other thing. CIG has people combing the Something Awful forums for dissent and if they can connect your SA account to the CIG account you get permabanned.
On the other hand if you give them $30k you can send pictures of your dick to other backers and nothing will happen to you. If you are a mod you can even get away with posting child porn on your recruitment org and at worst you get a 7 day probation.
