Watch it all come crashing down on his head and wonder why any of us gave him money in the first place.

While I'm not into fat shaming or any of that nonsense, I agree. He let himself go and it's all about control. Clearly he can control it since he wasn't this obese at the start of the project. I guess getting a steady - and larger - paycheck means you get to eat as much crap as you want. Therein lies the rub.

Surely its the stress. My God the things that man must have seen behind the scenes. Plus imagine having to work with Sandi , who he clearly loving abhors and pretend to actually like her. he must go home and sob into a family size KFC bucket every night. Some people hit the booze , others fire up a crack pipe. He has pizza hut on speed dial. The guy is clearly very distressed.

Eve is boring though. Just Mittani being mad with power, the directorate being full of egos and drama and the rest of Eve waiting with baited breath for the age of goon to finally die. Literally the same as last year and the year before that and so on.

Star Citizen has cultists getting upset a big fat clown. Much funnier.

So yeah, I'm considering going ahead and asking for a refund. Need to think on it a bit more, because there were moments of fun, but way too hard to get right now.

Loiosh, I saw this as a massive WC nerd, and as someone who still thinks on the off chance that CIG can pull this off...

100 million. Your money ain't needed. Get your money back.

I adore and love your enthusiasm for this game. It's what made me volunteer all that poo poo work for CR for free. Because it was something we all wanted.

But you will miss NOTHING getting your money back NOW. If it happens, buy in and join us as we grief the ever-loving poo poo out of cultish whales, because we'll be giggling and laughing all the way enjoying the game.

If it doesn't happen, you'll be glad you can spend money you have NOW due to your REFUND/CHARGEBACK to spend on other enjoyment/rent/whatever.

From the comments:

quote:

Those giving negative advise know very little about AAA game development. SC started dev 3 years ago. 5 to 6 years are required to make such game. For those following progress, the last 6 months have been the proof that CIG is doing very well, with a team of 268 and growing.
The solo game Squadron 42 will be released end of 2016 and the MMO in 2017, with Beta starting end of 2016.
Dont get be twisted by no sayer that a few months ago was still shooting vaporware and scam everywhere. Every so called "red flag" have been proved to be false, from a handful of dedicated Trolls.

I think you mean this video which was a day or so after a rumoured office rant (swearing/double firing) that possibly resulted in four people, three of them very visible, exiting the company.

17:51 Q: WHAT’S YOUR FEELING REGARDING 2.0 PTU EXPERIENCE? ANY DOWNSIDES TO SUCH FREQUENT PATCHING?

A: Only downside was the cost of pushing that much data. However the upsides were faster iterations which resulted in a final build 100 times more stable than the first! Testing with thousands of players allows us to find issues we simply can’t with 25 QA staff. Overall it was a great experience, we’re going to continue to use this approach next year and improve it with automated crash reporting and the like!

0 * 100 = 0

Also lol, how did their 25QA staff not find any of those severe crashes.

There servers are currently 16 player limited and they couldn't find these bugs with 25 QA testers, 90% of which seem to stem from the amount of players on the server.

Something doesn't add up......

EDIT: Also they pushed out a semi-public alpha without automatic big reporting. What's the loving point even putting it out if you don't have stuff setup to collect the data properly?
