I hope somebody has been compiling all the amazing stuff that's come out of this thread. In a year or two it will be great to look back through the ashes and see how it led to that point.

Here is a ship game that exists--as in, you can buy it, but then you can play it RIGHT NOW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJTBlk6Pu14 It costs less than a tenth of the jpeg they announced today.

Beer After everything that has happened in the past few weeks then the glorious shitshow that was Citizen Con are you going to ask for a refund? You of all people deserve one. Take the money and spend it having a good time with the family.

I went to the new ship's page when they launched it and it was called POTATO. Is Derek Smart's mole playing tricks on me or am I losing my mind.

The theory is that in their haste to name it anything other than "Vindicator" they hosed up their placeholders. It's tenuous, but hilarious, and I subscribe to it.

It's stupid as hell, but considering all the other unique text in the article that wouldn't make sense to be written alongside placeholder text, i can't think of any other reason for it to be there unless it was a dev joke they forgot to fix which is also lol

It seems, eh, vaguely reasonable that someone changed a description that nobody would check and wouldn't come up on a search for "Vindicator" that would make it clear that there are people on the inside working against Roberts.

It does. And I agree. But it's deductive at best and conjecture at worst. Though it's totally what they did and it's absolutely hilarious. "Nuh-uh, it's $170, not $175! Take that D. Smart!"

Thank you for sharing this, this was a legitimately cool anecdote that I did not know. Also a pretty stick burn on the concept artists, but I'm more interested in the trivia tbh

Sandi's act is a weird one, it's effectively them trying to stay ahead of a PR disaster that they no longer can control on both an external and internal front. However it's It's just made things even more confusing as the focus is not on fixing the reputation of company but the Vice President of Marketing . A position taken by the CEO's wife who, by her own admittance, has no experience. When does a VP of marketing get any direct focus in a company in such a manner? At best it's a behind the scenes managerial role and you might come out at an expo to announce products, but you're often not going to be the face of the company - let alone have a hand in deciding who gets fired or hired. It's looking like the gameplan was to set her up to have been in a cushy VP role and launch out a career path from there. It's clearly failed and her ego has flipped out from fear that there's no future for her. Enter angry legal letters and clumsy damage control which failed. Unless she was under active investigation there was no need to fall on her sword - which only raises eyebrows to just how true the rumors are. It feels like she's terrified that she can't contain the damage or even root out the traitors to sue them for defamation. Which makes the song and dance capped off by the "intervention" of Erin and Chris to cheer her up with flowers one surreal performance. It's meant to look like some show of support for an embattled employee, but it gives off the stench that things at the top are really really inflexible, especially when you fire an entire sub-studio and others, but the company can't remove the element that has done the most damage - even when that element wants to quit.

these are from a few pages back, but whatever I'm backfilling around posts that got lost due to octopode being a dumb:LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:the best part is after the peter dinklege thing in destiny you'd think people would understand that voice acting is its own skill that not all actors have In the specific case of the Dinkle-bot I'm reserving my judgement until he's in another game or voice acting gig. Enough poo poo was hosed up about Destiny that I can kinda imagine him getting poor direction, or even instructed to be kinda robotic. Whooooo knows. All I can say is that if Dinklege really did phone it in as badly as the end product seemed, he was pretty dumb because voice work would be a useful place to make money when the available roles for a little person were coming up short. Arcsquad12 posted:Hale and Blum are currently involved in a VA union strike because video games pay like poo poo and they don't get royalties. So they wouldn't work with Croberts anyways.

Well I've tried and failed to create the Citizen Con supercut of Sandi saying "I" and Chris speaking in future tenses. "We will", "You'll be able to", "We're going to" etc. Its an impossible task. Sandi, to her credit only says "I" twenty-two times in her four minute opening speech for a paid-for convention audience.

Despite the fact that this game will never come out, I must say I really dig the design of the Aegis ships. The Vanguard, Retaliator and Sabre are all pretty rad. Remember when the Star Citizen thread was full of optimism and terrible decisions? "Bomber bros." They seriously banned Beer. loving unreal.
