That's it- no need for bans or refunds or endless back and forth drama or purity tests or what-the-gently caress-ever, just make the game. It'd instantly silence all of the "Game's never coming out" criticism, and kneecap the "Money's being thrown away for nothing" argument as well. I still love the comparison between SC and Elite. Both finished their kickstarter at the same time, and yet one of them has something to show for it while continuing to make progress at a good pace.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:holy gently caress what is wrong with these people Frontier delivered a really crap game in the beginning. I played in November last year and I had no idea wtf I was doing. Earning credits was a literal chore compared to what they've done today. I would say Elite rose from their ash heap to be a game that's actually worth playing right now. I own a pretty fleet of kitted out ships and I like where I am financially in game right now, which are definitely not JPEGs. I played Elite, building my ranks, bank account to spite SC lovers and their spaceship jpegs; the gamble paid off. From that absurd "Morrow tour", I don't even know where to begin. It looks like CR is trying hard to make it believable but its failing on so many levels.

You know, guys, all joking aside, digging up info on DickWulf and his wife for some reason is kind of borderline obsessive. It doesn't matter if it's doxing or not, just please don't. There is really no reason to go beyond what we already know about him thanks to logs and public appearances. poo poo like this has killed the Doobie thread, so let's be mindful of that. I understand looking into Sandi's claims and whatnot, but Knight is just a sad nobody. That said, fart.

SC doesn't have a budget, it's not, per definition, a project. Creating the SC universe is the service CIG are providing us, the backers and customers. As long as we keep paying, they'll keep developing. furthermore

I really doubt it. Braben is about as "getting things done in an orderly fashion" level headed as Brits come, and he stuck to his chosen profession like glue. If he was going to go ego-bonkers, it would have been when he got his OBE.

it's not pay to anything because they have no idea how their loving economy will work. croberts has said it wont take long to earn the super expensive ships, but he keeps selling them to save people from a few hours of farming I guess.

 Can there be any justification for renting offices in Santa Monica? I get that certain businesses have to be in a decent area to impress clients or whatever but that doesn't apply to CIG.

Young Freud posted:Except the audience for SQ42 had pretty much already pre-paid for the game. It's unclear how many copies they'll be able to sell once it's released because that 1 million members they already have is going to count against that expansion in sales. It's become a common saying here that RSI has hit their limit in the number of customers that will buy the product and it's probably the truth. Yes, 700K+ (backers, not people who just tried it, thus have a forum account, while not paying anything) people who pre-paid are no longer a USP. They have to be able to sell to more people. Bear in mind also that not all of those 700K+ people are going to be happy with it. And that's going to affect the buying decisions of anyone else who wants to buy it. I don't believe that they will release SQ42 ep1 in any meaningful shape or form before they collapse. They are trying to do that; which is why they have since chopped it down.

I understand looking into Sandi's claims and whatnot, but Knight is just a sad nobody. I agree. However, that's not what happened actually. It's the same issue that happened with Sandi and Skye. The kid just happened to be in the Sandi picture on IMDB. A picture that, along with other evidence (public court records which we never revealed btw) we had uncovered, made it clear that she and Croberts were married. Before that, and long before the CitCon reveal, most in the SC community were saying that I was making poo poo up. Since then, guess what? Now they're saying "Oh yeah, it was obvious all along". Clowns. In the case of DickWulf, their profiles were reference linked to each other. Since they are public profiles - and seeing he was lying about where he used to work - the work history in both showed they both worked at the same place for a time. That was the only reason. And the reason that this even came up? Well, aside from all the despicable things he's doing, this is the same guy issuing threats of bodily harm to others on the Internet. It's a morals thing really. The general consensus in all social media is that if you can Google it, then it's not doxxing. So no, it has absolutely nothing to do with her; though he put this collage together and is spreading it as proof of doxing. Go figure.
