Karl_Ramseier is like an insane internet Robin hood defending honour of Richard I, only like in real life Richard is an egomaniac, who spends his subjects money on his personal passion (the Crusade) and doesn't deliver any solid results on that front either, while his brother has to be in charge and deal with poo poo. Richard also had an Australian wife who pretended to be American for some reason.

AP posted:His RSI profile lists him as a "Space Marshal" on the Bridge to Total Freedom , so somewhere between $5-10K. Karl - I used to be a Grand Admiral. The "used to be" is the redeeming part. Think about many of the people you trusted to deliver the project. Where are they? How many are gone? Why did they go? Do you really believe there is smoke without fire? What happened to dissent? The promises to engage with "concerns"? They got shunted to a "concern forum" that barely made it into "Star Citizen" at all. When was the last time devs responded to ANYTHING in there? We are 90 million+ in, and still no FPS delivery and no admission of a mega botchup SOMEWHERE. You think they are being entirely honest with us? Remember promises of being shown things "as they actually were"? Remember the "We won't take any funds until SC is delivered" statement from CR? Do you believe they are taking a wage? Do you believe this? Still no real way of explaining how the economy will work, mudflation will be handled? Do you think they are really thinking ahead enough, or bumbling, imperfectly through a one-man decision making funnel called Chris? When exactly do you believe the PU will ever be delivered? Still ships are being released on concept and still people are being milked more. Change of terms of service on the sly? Rewriting hundreds of lines without proper notification? Official silences on embarrassing yet crucial questions? Wake up. Karl, you too can set yourself free. (Unless you bought an ungiftable mega pack of course.) In which case, you might still be able to cash out at 80%. No game is worth that much. You hear that tiny voice in your head saying "you spent too much"? The voice is right. Listen to it now.

If someone can read the history of Freelancer's development and not immediately see the exact same things happening in SC, and realise that no publisher is going to bail them out like MS did back then, then they're beyond help.

Jethro_E7 posted:Wake up. Karl, seriously listen to this guy. It doesn't mean you're saying the game won't come out or it won't be all you hoped it would be. Get your money out now, then if the game is the glorious success that you expect it to be, take all of that money and put it right back in. They have almost 100 million dollars, they don't need your money specifically so for your own sake get out now. Let the idiots with no risk awareness fund it then if it turns out to be a good game, everyone in this thread will be buying it and you can too. You won't miss out on anything besides the chance that you're going to lose all your money with nothing to show for it. Get out dude, you're a goon now so it's time to start doing the intelligent thing.

Timby posted:And that's Roberts' MO -- he hates being told what to do. You see that in the massive, embarrassing letter he wrote in response to Smart and the criticism, saying that EA had approached him multiple times about rebooting Wing Commander and he always turned them down because he'd never work for a publisher again. Roberts was a coding hotshot who moved from the UK and was hired by Garriott to work at Origin. Having a bit of cheek he talked Garriott into letting him create his game concept called "Squadron" which basically was a sci-fi take on Battlehawks - the US/Japan pacific theater in space with wrathful cats and borrowing off Niven and other sci-fi plots of the day. At Origin he was given freedom to sink time and effort into this game and this was not cheap. In 1990 a typical big game budget was around $100,000 to $200,000 - Wing Commander allegedly cost $1,000,000. Origin insiders allude to some creative accounting to hide that fact from Roberts - but despite the success of WC and Ultima - it wasn't enough to save Origin's coffers and EA moved in to acquire in 1992. Only because of the addons and voice packs did Wing Commander 1 break even. Some say that Robert's pushing the envelope for production funds on a game really ruined the game industry - it meant a massive risk could equal a reward and people began investing heavily into quality over quantity as it began the push of the industry into hit-machine mode and publishers started focusing on sure-fire successes over taking a risk. With EA Roberts gets lucky again as the FMV fad kicks into full drive and his dream of creating movies becomes apparent through Wing Commander 3 and 4 - a record investment for EA who only funds WC IV on the provision that it would be done in twelve months. That also hit EA hard - by 1996 the space sim genre had been slowing down and 12 million isn't an easy thing to magically recoup. The RTS genre is the new big-thing and people are adopting mice and keyboard over the venerable joystick. The aftermath of WC's cash crater almost scuppered Garriott's plans for Ultima Online in which he had to beg for $200,000 or so to develop a proof of concept that basically was hacking in multiplayer into Black Isle. MMO's back then were a high risk concept and it wasn't until thousands of people started paying $2 for beta CDs then EA realized they had a hit on their hands and a way to start recovering costs. But where Garriot had gotten his rewards Roberts was being kept at arms length over the possibility of a Privateer or Wing Commander Online. No doubt it was a frightening prospect to many at EA and Roberts saw the writing was on the wall so he went off and founded Digital Anvil to create his dream online space game, believing the technology of 1999 was enough to create his dreams!

I got caught up in the announcement hype and pre-ordered it within ~3 minutes of it going on sale. I'd never wear it outside either and in all honestly it'll just end up in my closet with other collector edition poo poo. Welp I think I have my answer. Thanks bro.

janssendalt posted:interesting There's a pretty common pattern that Roberts got handed his wishes on a silver platter and managed to survive purely by being in the right moment at the right time in an industry that was still developing it's feet and publishers were keen to take chances. By the time 1999 had hit the golden age of risk taking was pretty much on the wane and it was become apparent that big names developers had been uncannily lucky and big failures like Ion Storm only served to prove that lightning doesn't strike twice and publishers saw it wise to not allow one person to head a project without some sort of control.

One thing I don't understand is why mocap Gary Oldman and then make the model look exactly like Gary Oldman? Are they doing that with all the human characters, making them look like their actors? This way they don't need sets and costumes, but recording mocap looks a lot more complicated and expensive than conventional filming. Costumes and sets probably help actors get into their characters more than everyone wearing a frumpy onesie. Mocapping is good for aliens I guess, but what is the benefit for human characters?
