What other letter? All the official letters are linked in the blog.

I missed this, but in your lawyers letter it says:

"These will be discussed in a separate demand letter to Mr. Roberts as this letter is intended solely
to respond to your most recent missive, within the artificial deadline you’ve created. "

what's the other letter about?

This is absolutely right. Everyone talking about E:D proves it - the game might get better, it might not, but it's still a loving game that actually exists.

ED coincidentally came out on the xbone yesterday and I tried it out. It's pretty fun if space combat/trading/trolling is your thing.

They also had the courtesy to not charge the price of a full game since the whole thing hasn't been released yet.

Given the date of correspondence odds are that letter doesn't exist yet (or rather it's in the planning stage).

Yeah, I don't have pity for him. He brought this upon himself. Had they bothered to develop the skeleton of the original game and then iterated more out over months/years nobody would care if he never got it all done. The fact that they can't be hosed to even do that at this point is pretty damning, and his willingness to continue to sell more jpegs to fund his ridiculous idea just seals the deal in terms of his mindset. He has surrounded himself with a bunch of 'yes' people, he doesn't understand how development works, he doesn't have a real producer on the project that can actually reign in the stupidity, and he keeps selling jpegs to fund even more stupid ideas.

This is completely impossible when you keep throwing out and redoing all your work every few months.

I suppose you could just ask us. Fellow goons, what's wrong with us? Are we blind to the beauty of star citizen in its current alpha state? Did you not see amazing technique that is grabby hands, where a person could flip a coin (only if that coin's diameter is as large as his thumb)!!! Did you not see the star citizen cliimb the ladder so perfectly? Not even Link for Ocarina of Time could climb that well (he always had terrible posture). Tell me goons, what's wrong with us. Why are we not seeing Star Citizen for what it is? Is it not Martin Luther King who expounds upon having a dream that millions of Americans wished to invest in and make true? Is Christ Roberts not doing the exact same thing, but with Star Citizen?

Because it is common knowledge that goons ruin everything I will reveal the name of the ship to Beer4theBeerGod and he can then decide if he wants to leak it - and when. So, B4BG, go ahead and DM me on Twitter.
Since CIG is periodically monitoring this forum, I assume if it is remotely possible they are already changing the name of this ship so as to have at least ONE meager victory in this overwhelming PR and credibility onslaught from you, Mr. Smartzilla.

It should be noted that Elite: Dangerous also uses its own proprietary engine. Developing engines is very time consuming, which is why most of the industry opted for Unreal Engine or Unity. Then you can focus on creating content and scripting, relying on existing support channels when needed.

Oh that. It's related to the mentions in CR's rant in which he made various defamatory statements which Keith didn't want to get into in that reply (to Ortwin's laughably bad C&D)
