Yes, I know how it looks. But it's all about perception. Which is why when people bring up this "personal" angle, I point them to this. For the record. And no, I'm not lowballing it at all. They didn't need 300-500 people + $100m to make this game. That's the whole sordid story right there. It all ends up being a) bad management b) poor dev choices c) and possibly fraud I've managed to get by with less than $15m thus far, and almost five* years later, with a team of less than 20 (around 16 at its peak). And with aircraft, then vehicles getting unlocked by end of Jan, we would be 95% of the way there. They keep bitching about LOD, but take a look at this. We're making steady progress, very few crashes etc. Because, like all my games, I am laser focused on precisely what it is I am building and bugs, tweaks etc are not something I leave to chance or throw on the back-burner. And through all that, in order to offset costs, I managed** to put together a Unity4 multi-platform RTS game, based on the same IP and assets, which was just released on Xbox One last week. Here are some guys playing it. And that cost less than $500K to do. The sad reality is that with crowd-funding, and how this whole farce has played out, croberts seemingly has no incentive to do anything different, let alone deliver anything. The rushed state of all these modules is very simple: they're trying to cobble everything together, as quickly as possible, in order to stave off any legal action (from private citizens like myself, State officials like the AG, Fed officials like the FTC etc) by hiding behind a 100% legal premise: no guarantee of performance. If they can get every promised bulletpoint into a lovely game, regardless of condition, they've "won". Choice quotes from the current (I am 100% certain that they are going to change this again come 2016 due to the delivery clause) ToS quote:For the avoidance of doubt, in consideration of RSI’s good faith efforts to develop, produce, and deliver the Game with the funds raised, you agree that any Pledge amounts applied against the Pledge Item Cost and the Game Cost shall be non-refundable regardless of whether or not RSI is able to complete and deliver the Game and/or the pledge items. In the unlikely event that RSI is not able to deliver the Game and/or the pledge items, RSI agrees to post an audited cost accounting on the Website to fully explain the use of the amounts paid for Pledge Item Cost and the Game Cost. In consideration of the promises by RSI hereunder, you agree that you shall irrevocably waive any claim for refund of any Pledge that has been used for the Game Cost and Pledge Item Cost in accordance with the above. Anyone who hasn't already got a refund, is going to be well and truly sorry before long. It's coming. You were all warned. Repeatedly. * yes, I am counting 2010 (even though we completely changed the engine in 2011) because a) we didn't throw out the assets b) I'm not a loving idiot like croberts ** a bunch of rear end-clowns sniping from behind /r/DerekSmart apparently are of the opinion that we didn't develop LOD Tactics. Go figure.

Very telling that the million high sausage bar or whatever the gently caress it is , is squarely aimed at appeasing backers . Someone somewhere has sat down and realized that they have hosed the average autistic virgin for as much cash as they are going to get and now its all about making the super whales feel special, with some exclusive JPEGS of a bar. Its absolutely disgusting even by their standards and pretty much a microcosm of the entire farcical undertaking. Anyone who backed this for a few shillings and wanted it to be a nostalgic revising of their youthful enjoyment of Wing commander by now must realize what this is . Utterly appalling and very transparent

Every time a backer checks into the thread after backing in 2012 or whenever the gently caress it was and immediately starts asking how to get a refund... In life, it's the little pleasures that count.

loving idiot. I only started making this "noise" in July. The Star Citizen community has been in shitter long before that. Denial is pretty much the side-effects of drinking delusion Kool-Aid Meanwhile, a bunch of them are parked on /r/DerekSmart/ dedicated to taking pot-shots. And they want to cry foul? Just wait.

I like how players with multicrew ships now spend a few minutes searching the landing pad for other players before sprinting to try and get into it as quickly as possible. I just hide in the passageway. The time it takes for the freaking elevator to open and drop down is all the time I need to sprint out there and jump on it. I should try screenshotting some of the angry chats they all caps scream at me while I'm crashing their jpeg.

This is loving glorious.

Oh hello I'm new I backed when it was still a kickstarter because spaceship games werent really a thing back then. I haven't even played it yet because my PC is 8360km away. I'm assuming there is no TL;DR about this D. Smart thing (who seems a little bitter) and I'll just go on being happy that SC has proved that there's a spaceship game market. Honestly I can't decide if the OP is an onion article or not. I glanced over some other stuff like Chris Roberts' response to The Escapist and it all seems totally ridiculous. Am I being trolled

So XCX has occupied a lot of time for the past few days, what all has gone down in this thread over the last... uhh... fifty pages or so? What new and interesting ways has the pre-alpha managed to implode upon itself? Anything funny/interesting out of Derek? This thread needs a highlight reel or something.

Derek is totally one hundred percent right that they released 'alpha' because they had to release something. I just wish everyone would stop calling it an alpha it's a tech demo, it is the bare basic engine with some basic interactions and a couple of the ships. They have so so so so so much left to add - so loving much! 90% of this game is not implemented, nobody is testing an alpha. It's such an amazing con
