Ben and Alexis are asked about making posters available to fans. An obvious easy win-- great profit potential, very large art asset collections easily turned into cash. It's a NO BRAINER. Yet they throw up their hands, claiming posters are easy to make but hard to fulfill. Maybe it's hard if you're doing it from china--- but if they'd just make and ship the stuff in a US or European shop (or both!), they'd solve that apparently impossible problem. And actually might start printing some money actually selling FINISHED GOODS for a change. But no dice. Guess there's some reason they can't NOT use China for this. Maybe they've invested backer money in a Chinese company? There is apparently something BINDING THEM to this Chinese fulfiller-- binding them to inefficiency, delayed turn times, limited product options, mandatory pre-order windows for fans. Ben / Alexis, it's a no brainer, mate! Just spend some of that money to set up your own shop. Why not? You might actually MAKE SOME CASH while actually DELIVERING SOME VALUE! (Or at least bloody outsource it to somebody in a country where at least SOME of your backers PHYSICALLY RESIDE.) $90,000,000 just reached. Yay! SANDI IS THERE. EDIT: It's 20/15 vision. Sandi went back and CHECKED THE RECORDS SHE HAD LYING AROUND UNDER HER STACKS OF ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS AND CONFIRMED IT. G0RF fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Oct 2, 2015 |

I can't believe it, Sandi is wearing Sunglasses, obviously she doesn't want anyone to read her face

I do wonder how much of the delays are due to feature creep and how much is due to CR wanting everything hyper-detailed, perfect, and (according to the sources) changed every couple weeks.

Arcsquad12 posted:Now I've played Tie Fighter and the Star Wars flight sims, but how was Holland's "Secret Weapons" series? All I know about Secret Weapons over Normandy was that there was a cheat code to get a Tie FIghter. Oh, Normandy was horrible, but Battle of Britain was fantastic (the manual alone was worth the game). My dad loved it - he's an ex-fighter pilot, so he has high standards. Of the Luftwaffe was a bit... gimmicky, but still lots of fun. Fly a Komet! That Escapist article was very well done, and exactly the right tone. Clear, concise, and laying down their standards and events. Very necessary.

Man I miss Larry Holland. I was looking on wikipedia to see what he's been up to and saw his last game was for Wii and PSP. That's the saddest poo poo imaginable.

No I saw him in an overhead picture of the RTV set (with the poster remodel)someone posted here, I think he was holding a boom mic.

I just have this feeling that either Chris R or Sandra R might crack on stage during their Citizencon presentation. You know just like in them movies, something will go wrong, he tries way too hard, he will rage on and curse like a loving seaman and insult the backers live on stream. Can't we crowdfund a trip for Derek Smart to Manchester - let's smuggle him in and see them clash against each other - live.

I think the artist letter makes it pretty clear that they never release anything because of the second part there- The whole "GOTTA HAVE 4k textured boots" and also re-do them 5 times until I am happy vs leaving it at good enough.

You'd think the reddit gumshoes would learn to stfu after the whole boston bomber thing. Not opening your dumbass mouth is a good way to not get owned repeatedly.

Tarranon posted:so just to be perfectly clear Second time (Edit: that I noticed him), he was on last week already - but the glassdoor reviews feat. the racism part was live by then as well (I think) - he is the editor for ATV (something Lando did before) so make your own mind up if his hire was necessary or not Edit2: Can someone ID Sandi's shades? Must be expensive and I am sure backers paid for it. sorla78 fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Oct 2, 2015 |

If you ran a $90,000,000 crowd funded project, and you were doing well, would you ask everyone for $900 more dollars every two weeks?
