Is there still video of Crobby trying to play the game out there? Both Google and Youtube just give med positive horseshit.

Nyeehg posted:Oh most definitely. I guess I just can't get my head around the cult-like mindset of the church of Roberts. From what I've seen, the narrative is that Squadron 42 will bring in the unlimited amounts of cash needed to complete the MMO part. Lots of "no you see, Gary Oldman is actually one of the best money magnets in the film industry!" and so on. Not a lot of excitement about the actual game and not very many posts being completely in awe of the  Bishop speech.

spacetoaster posted:Quick legal question here: How much can Chris Roberts keep referring to wing commander before the people who own the rights to WC can sue him? PGI has probably got the documents going through legal now. PGI no longer has the rights. It expired after six years of them doing nothing with it. I've got confirmation from them and EA that the rights are back with EA.

Bootcha posted:PGI doesn't have any rights. They licensed the IP from EA. EA still owns the Wing Commander IP. That said, even Chris Roberts, creator of this beloved space sim IP, declined to buy back his IP from EA when he had the funds and the chance. The rights were never - ever - for sale. Only for licensing. Chris couldn't put the money together to get it; so the deal fell apart. That's how Star Citizen came about.

It was like watching my dad trying to use a computer. I'm calling bullshit on the "Played for an hour crash free!" tweet. Or did he play for an hour without trying to chat to anyone?

Or played offline and only got over an hour before it failed and he called it quits. *Edit* People got so hype to see Croberts during the livestream, and I'd be surprised if no one mentioned any other times. Seems like a thing you'd screenshot for massive karma on reddit.

Lastgirl posted:By the way did Derek Smart ever follow through on the lawsuit thing? Working through it. Can't say more than that. As we suspected, there is no getting around the arbitration clause, due to many court rulings (the latest) which made it legal for corps to shaft their customers without the huge expense of lawsuits. So no class action. Anyone who has a beef with SC, has to go it alone, or as a non-class group.

Truga posted:So who wants to bet croberts has never been given the online version of the game before? He tweeted before how he could play for hours without crashes, and in my experience, only offline mode allowed that when he posted that. Yeah, we've been discussing that. Insider sources tell me that judging by the version he was running at the time, he may have been flat out lying. And from the looks of the livestream, it doesn't look like he's played the game recently.

My dream situation would be for someone to licence the WC rights because SC has drummed all of the rabid WC fans out of the woodwork. Are they more loyal to CRoberts or an actual playable WC game? What the gently caress would Ben even do?

D_Smart posted:Probably not. You have seen this, right? osker posted:The last time I launched or accepted a TOS was when they launched the hangar module. Am I still clear to get a refund? These cock suckers haven't responded to my request. osker, if you're just seeking a simple refund and they are giving you the run around, then anything you can do to make your support call more tricky than usual costs them money. At a certain point it becomes cheaper (or involves less effort) for them just to refund you and move on. So if you do get into a discussion about the TOS and which version you agreed to, it's worth asking exactly how they determined that you agreed and when exactly that was plus the method they used to track this accurately. A normal customer service rep and even their manager likely aren't in a position to answer on the method as it's a technical question, while any answer they do give should be truthful or they might get in trouble later. Even if they give an answer that's not truthful, you could maybe check the event log of your computer to see if they are full of crap, might give you an idea what was happening that day. If you agreed to something on a certain date and they can prove that by knowing the exact date, you are in no worse position, if they don't know it's possible they don't accurately record when people accept, either way you're creating a difficult support call and therefore increasing the likelyhood they'll just pay you and move on. Also it's worth asking for all versions of the TOS and when they were active from to, as that's just a pain in the arse thing to do. Not sure I've explained that very well.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:then its a good thing hes making a movie and not a game Hahah. It is still baffling to me that he thinks that people actually want 10 hours of cut-scenes in games, more than even Hideo Kojima's games. He really is completely out of touch with modern gaming. Tijuana Bibliophile posted:I'd love seeing them justifying how they suddenly have always hated macrotransactions In my opinion, micro-transactions (skins, different colors, naming your ship, etc.) is pretty much the only way they can survive. Eventually, there's going to be an upper limit to how many ships Shitzens will buy. With the performance of the live stream and new blood being extremely slow coming, they have to rely on current people to fund this game.
