LOL they just say that to cover their back if they're wrong. Goons have swallowed Derek's salty load and can't now think for themselves.

They're backing him all the way because they believe he's right. Why else are people like boocha and beer4 cuddling up to him after pulling their money? Of course when the game launches and it becomes painfully apparent they've been had, they'll just say "oh lol we knew we were just pretending" to try and save face. That didn't sound convincing when I was 6, and it still doesn't now

I'm not sure the logic behind the arguement. If SC comes out and we come slinking back we lose face with no one. CIG isn't going to not take my money. But if SC doesn't come out, we are out nothing, and they lose everything.

Hmm, I'm either out hundreds/thousands of dollars, or I might need to admit I was wrong about something. drat tough call that.

Then again, consider the response you get when you suggest that they might at some point have to admit they were wrong. The amount of vitriol the mere mention of this hypothetical causes suggests that it is a tough call for some since it's debatable which would be the worse outcome for them.

I guess, if you are at the "no questions asked" phase, admitting to being wrong about anything would cause a cognitive dissonant cascade.

Personally, I don't have that problem. Like the OUYA, I was completely wrong about that, it came out when I said it wouldn't. I've sure had egg on my face since then.

Yeah, we've been over this before. If we are wrong and it comes out, goons will buy the game and absolutely blast the gently caress out of whales and ruin their day. If we are right, we get to laugh as the worst community on the internet gets screwed over. Goons win either way, Shitzens lose both ways.

Seriously though, didn't they already have a ship for hauling stuff, and a ship for research? (whatever that entails)

Oh cripes, how their transmissions of new ships/variants have changed! From just essentially: "Hey everyone, we're revealing this new set of ships that do this and this, as always - entirely optional if you want to get them, you don't have to you know." back in 2013 and even in 2014...

...and now THIS loving poo poo is the first thing you are required to see on that page:

quote:

It’s time.

Your whole life, you’ve had your feet planted on the ground, but felt the pull of the stars. You’ve come close to buying ships in the past, but didn’t because you never found a ship that inspires the same awe and wonder that you feel every time you look at the night sky.

That’s about to change.

Introducing the new Reliant. Proudly continuing MISC’s legacy of award-winning reliability and engineering ingenuity, MISC’s new Reliant is a versatile and durable multi-crew ship that is priced to own and guaranteed to last.

Speak to an authorized MISC dealer today for options and take that first step off your world.

croberts seemingly not caring at all about the game part of SC is far more damning than simple incompetence. It really does seem like he is mainly interested in being the famous director rather than creating his "dream game". It really looks like he doesn't even really like playing.

I guess the positive thing here is that Chris being this detached from the game part of the game gives the actual developers and producers some breathing room to do their jobs.


I think CRoberts is just perpetually stoned out of his goddamned mind and its hilarious
