madcow posted:Hey, what is 90 million divided by 1 million? Sorry, I am bad at math, but I think that will give you a rough average of the typically pledge amount. It won't be terribly accurate, but it will at least show you that the number of people who are in it for thousands constitute a very small minority and are probably consisting mostly of goons. It's only a small minority of a million people with debt. The Concierge line at Citizen Con events is often longer than the normal line, whales have several accounts each. Look at the hits on youtube for the promotional videos or the metrics from those playing Arena Commander and remember when they soon claim 1 million citizens, the real number is far more likely to be closer to half of that. But again, congratulations on being smart enough not to have that much money in at this stage, you don't see that mental to me so kudos on possibly being a nice trusting person in real life.

madcow posted:When CIG starts to layoff significant portions of the staff and starts closing down studios that is when I will start to worry. So the complete overreacting temper tantrum by CR, the CEO, to allegations that he says are easily proven untrue, but doesn't actually provide any evidence, doesn't worry you? The fact that the VP in charge of HR is the one personally handling refunds doesn't worry you? The fact they are hugely behind schedule for SQ42 (even by AAA games delay standards, the delay for SQ42 is unheard of) doesn't worry you?

madcow, you can get more out of a single thread by Ben than reading here if your eyes are open.  can't even predict the date of the FPS drop and is wrong by a scale of 3 so far at best. All the time is being spent on blockers, not polish, yet they still can't get it up. They are in denial about feature creep and think the product is still as pitched. Ben is thinking with his heart, not his mind. Trust nothing. Turbulent can't handle a starmap and was crippled by needing to make the payment system work with VAT. Chris is intimately involved in what kind of boots particular characters will wear. Ben isn't concerned when a producer who has been with the company from the start quits when his job involved by his own definition "...very methodical processes and ... makes sure the components needed to realize Chris’ vision can happen and that personnel are tasked with individual processes and ...holding the whip", they think they are doing open development when we are either not being told when it really will be out, or honestly told as best they think which means they really don't know themselves. Wake up. Denial is helping you, let alone CIG.

June 26 2015 "How many people total are working on Star Citizen total – 500 probably, including outsourcers, 300 internally"  Smart's first blog July 6, 2015 18th August 2015 270 total (staff + contractors) poo poo really seemed to hit the fan in July around the time they decided to wind down Austin, bin Illfonic and Alex Mayberry/Travis Day bailed.

I absolutely love the state of things now, where everyone is confused at what CIG is doing. Redditors are at the state of reassurance, the amount of posts regarding how everything is a-ok in the brown sea is amazing. Somedays I wish these moments don't end. But we know it will.

AP posted:June 26 2015 Good narrative. I always felt that not enough attention was payed to the drop of total employee numbers. Everyone just glassed over that with mutterings "contractors included" / "contractors excluded". Maybe July was the point when CR actually felt that poo poo has hit the fan and did what he promised he would do if funding decreased? Cut the spending (a little)? Back then he had a bit more that 8 mil left.

Zmej posted:i'm loving livid coffee chat is over and being insulted I just made a lovely cup from Malawi beans and a £15 French press. Take your $20k machine and shove it, Croberts. Also I have a ROK espresso machine arriving today. It was less than one spaceship jpeg and claims to be able to make okay coffee. We shall see. If nothing else it looks rad. Prop Wash posted:Coffee talk: I got a little hand grinder recently and man grinding the beans makes a noticeable difference, if the grind is all fresh and delicious. Plus hand grinding is sort of a relaxing thing to do. Anyway, coffee is good, this game doesn't exist, probably go ahead and ban the latest seraph incarnation A grinder is one of the keys to making good coffee, along with fresh beans. When you get bored of hand grinding the Baratza Encore is a nice budget electric grinder.

It's like a cult, the dream will never die unless Christ Roberts does. Some people are so loving brainwashed that no matter what happens, the blame will get deflected to something else (Derek Smart did this!!! Goons did this!!! Escapist!!! Gamergate!!!

To be fair, Goons, Gamergate, Feminists and Derek Smart are probably the 4 riders of the apocalypse for a certain group of players. They usually see themselves as hardcore players and use o7 unironically.

I miss the old thread when I had to tone what I really felt down or I'd get jumped on for being too critical and yet in this one Beer goes for it and get's perma banned from RSI. Hey Beer, you posted way too much on that stupid place, good posts but their long term moderation policies meant you didn't really stand a chance. I think you deserve a merit for effort posting there and when this all goes south at least you'll be able to say you tried, unlike Ben "the ship on sale is the best ship" Lesnick who's busy locking the doors to third class while the good ship CIG is taking on water. They really did you a favour.

no_recall posted:The art of creating jpegs. Wow I've not seen that before. As an artist I also love the fact that they take a high poly (not in game ready at all) asset and manipulate it in Unreal in a perfectly designed set, probably just so they can say "this was rendered IN GAME!". Effectively this is the same as rendering it in Marmoset or something, but I'm sure average Shitizens eat it up as more proof that there's a fully functioning game just around the corner, because this is a screenshot.

Nalin posted:Beer got permabanned for disagreeing with people on the RSI forums. He just couldn't take his blinders off and see the TRUTH of Christ Roberts. I got the impression that it was for publicly posting the "Vindicator" ship name in the form of the hash that Derek Smart sent him. Also, to the refund request thing (I guess Derek Smart twitted a link to Beer's SA post), the only thing about it that I think isn't so good is encouraging the customer to lie. "Alternatively create a sob story about medical expenses, familial hardship, etc." should have instead said something like "Alternatively if you have any current personal hardships like medical expenses, familial hardship, etc., then briefly explain it."

no_recall posted:They could say that the system generates unique serials for each in a virtual world which has policies that govern the creation of said ships. Thus giving them a defense in space court. Don't think they'd get away with that. The Advertising Standards Authority are I think the relevant body here when it comes to the sale of spaceship jpegs and they are pretty good about cracking down on weasel bullshit like that. Now I'm not suggesting that if CIG use Citizencon (taking place in the UK, don't forget) to advertise a limited sale of a picture that someone should then use the ASA's online reporting facility to put in a complaint, just that someone could do such a thing. Amun Khonsu posted:In addition to the $20,000 coffee maker, Im sure that they paid government prices for this too. Several threads ago it was pointed out that Croberts had a fancy lamp seen in a video which cost a ridiculous amount of money, and they also use a desk made from an airplane wing that of course comes with a stupid price tag. The 20k coffee machine might be bullshit but there's documented proof that they are needlessly spending a lot of money on furniture. Games companies having expensive office baubles is nothing new (the dearly departed DID had a deactivated bomb hanging off a jet fighter wing in their meeting room) but other games companies actually release finished products and have real income.

Grinding the coffee beans just before preparing it is by far the best change you can do to your coffee. You can add fancier things on top of that but freshly ground vs pre-ground store bought make a dramatic change in taste. You don't need to be a coffee snob or foodie either to notice the huge difference. Also star citizen is dumb

lol have none of you people ever worked in an office with a break room or canteen or something? Believe it or not it's actually worth making people happy, keeping morale up, decorating nicely. Also means the talent is less likely to leave for a company not run by giant spergs Or run a soviet concrete box where everyone has soylent for lunch, whatever
