If you care enough about some unrelated game drama so much to derail a thread by calling some guy a "goonfucker" (lol wtf) then you're the worst kind of insufferable video fame sperg. These are electronic toys for children for christ's sake get over yourself

Sounds like eve goons drama they will call you a goon fucker over literally anything it's basically one of the worst things you could get involved with the only way it's ever "fun" is if you insulate your self in one of the small groups that may or may not be still active.

No, he's just roleplaying. His response when I showed up was funny. I got him to admit he tortures puppies.

i really want this lorepost to culminate with them releasing the ship in the middle of a presentation during citcon and then having dozens dead or injured as they stampede for the doors to get back to their laptops to order it

They'll make sure that everyone there can get one specifically to prevent people from freaking out.

If all this twitter RP just leads to a new ship sale I am probably going to sprain every muscle used to laugh.

I'm going to need a ramp up of funny to con citizens so I don't hurt myself.

It started off as a lore article about breaking news of the Vanduul invading the Vega system. I suspect it's related to SQ42 somehow. Who knows, maybe they're pranking us all and will release SQ42 at CitCon like they said they would months ago.

eve goons are the worst goons but also the funniest goons because they think their "importance" in a video game means that they should be respected by everyone else and not made fun of mercilessly

also hi, i don't care about star citizen, i just like making fun of goons

I was called a goon fucker because I sold goods to goons at too low a cost in EVE.

You see, selling your fellow goons goods purchased in Jita (the central market hub) at 400% markup for the trouble of having them shipped them to conflict zones (by a 3rd party no less) is natural to a lot of them. I did not like this practice and began importing the same goods and selling them for the outrageously low price of "double whatever it cost me". For this I was unironically called a goonfucker because I was destroying the profit margins of the people who had to lower their prices to compete with mine!

Informal cartels that price fix goods: Normal
Competition in prices: Goon loving

sorry EVE goons but your brains are broken.

so i skimmed it because i'm at work but it looks like a recap for anyone who's not been paying attention and a promise to bring a Bona-Fide Derek Smart Lawsuit which i'm sure will actually happen this time (:laffo:)

i guess it's great to post the next time someone jumps in complaining about the unread count

Sure looks like a whole lot of words that say nothing new. Although I appreciated the TL:DR sentence at the end - "I don’t build dreams. I build games. I know these things." It's always good to end a speech with a joke to grab everyone's attention. This man knows how to PR.

What would that change though? It's not like having 3x as much cash will change the fact that a game with this scope/scale isn't possible.

it'll be bitcoin-esque where it doesn't end in a bang but a whimper long slow drawn out wet fart as the smaller whales split off and the bigger ones continue investing their kid's college funds, 401ks and welfare checks

at the end, all will be left is croberts and sandi going house-to-house, claiming to be comcast service technicans to get into their backer's parent's basements

checks damp with mildew and grease being passed over with equal parts shame and hope more shame as the penitent beseech their savior

She didn’t “market” this game to raise $90m as she’s tried to take credit for. The media, the PR and the gamers who believed in Chris’s vision, made that happen. Confusing PR with marketing is the sort of mistake that people who don’t understand how that works, make. They are not the same thing.

I seem to remember the SC cultists trying to argue against this in the last thread! Dr. Smart knows what's up.

I somehow missed this article until Dr. Smart linked it. It's a forbes contributor and not one of their in house writers, but a good read.
