drat Dirty Ape posted:To be honest, I think it is going to get ugly no matter what happens. Even if Star Citizen turns out to be an expertly made video game(lol), it will still not be enough to meet the insane expectations the fanbase has for it. I mean, people get unreasonably angry over a normal $50 video game. What do you think they will do when they've sunk thousands of dollars into it? I'd feel bad for CIG for these insane expectations on a video game but it's pretty much all their fault. If CIG goes bankrupt it's gonna be blamed on DS and goons If the game is OK but people get their ships rammed it's gonna be blamed on DS and goons CIG's in the clear here

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:You have to understand, their passion isn't about a video game. It's about the dream associated with that video game heavily reinforced by a massive sunk cost fallacy. Comparisons to faith and religion aren't out of the question. Some people believe in Jesus, some people believe in thetans, and some people believe in Chris Roberts. This has been intentionally reinforced by a marketing scheme designed to focus on that connection and belief. CIG intentionally avoids revealing anything concrete about the game, keeping things as ephemeral and subjective as possible, so that backers will fill in the blanks with what they want the most and subsequently pay for it. That's why two different people can have two completely opposite views on the game and still fund it while expecting their dream to come true. An essential part of that dream is protecting it; the mental construct surrounding Star Citizen is incredibly fragile. That's why people are so aggressive in attacking dissent, and why CIG is so rigorous in purging "toxic" members from their forums. Doubt and faith cannot coexist. Everything must be explained in the narrative of the game progressing well. Frankly it's impressive how well CIG has done it, particularly with respect to vilifying Derek Smart. Instead of ignoring him they turned him into The Enemy, convincing backers that he's such a threat that they should give CIG money in spite of him. Every critic is an alt for Derek Smart. Every negative post an attempt to push his agenda. It's amazing. What's telling, at least to me, is the level to which negative opinions are silenced or verboten. Even just the tiniest bit of questioning a CIG decision or a dissenting opinion to the group-think is completely forbidden. There is ample evidence that this has been a longstanding policy, but it seems to me that it has gotten worse over the past few months. If you aren't on the "BEST drat GAME EVER" train and completely devoted to that line of thinking, there is no room for you in their "community". Further, they've created their own hierarchy, where the more you spend on the game the more respected you are within that community. While this is dangerous in any community, it's especially dangerous in the community of a game that hasn't even been released and has the most ridiculous and convoluted development process ever.

Cao Ni Ma posted:How is this even possible? OK, I didnt think that 2.0/2.1 were being worked on by Foundry UK. If they were then it really doesn't leave a lot of time for them to work on SQ42 which this communication sort of confirms. There is absolutely no way this is releasing in 2016, there is a very good chance it might not come out in 2017 either. But the best chance is that this isn't even coming out at all. Squadron 42, if going by the revised plan (Single player only, no Multiplayer or drop in Co-Op, no economy, chapter 1 only, no ties witth SC) is a relatively simple game to do for the size CIG is now. Its just a 20-30h singleplayer Cryengine game with vehicules segments and mocap cutscenes. I would be surprised if they DONT manage to release it for november 2016 to drive the whales in a second feeding frenzy of Jpegs. I bet a team of goons could swede a SQ42 equivalent using Unreal 4 and do it faster than CIG.

drat Dirty Ape posted:I don't know if Vanguard is the one you were talking about, but it's fans were really similar to Star Citizen fans but obviously on a much smaller scale. I was semi-part of a community for EQ back then that got obsessed with Vanguard, all going on and on and projecting their individual fantasies of how vanguard would be their ideal forever game. I had literal death threats sent to me, one in the US mail because I said Brad McQuaid couldn't make a good game and was the driving force behind some of the worst decisions ever made at Verant/SOE. Scary poo poo.

This is from a while back, but you could let them remote onto your computer with something like TeamViewer, and then show them the emails on your account. Just change the session so they can't input things. I don't think there is anyway of editing something like that in real time.

The amount of hatred they have pushed onto anyone whos a goon is almost glorious. 20 years from now, we will be able to spot the whales when posts come up for some random space game "OMG! A space game! Its 2036 and its gonna be an amazing year for space game! Goons... oh god the goons... they are gonna goonruin my new space game D:!

Solvency posted:I don't understand how Beer being banned of this is still a mystery unless everyone is just being coy. It's not a mystery to anyone except Sandi. According to Patrick I was banned for precisely what you said: quote:
But then Sandi said that's not the case: quote:Cloud Imperium Games (Cloud Imperium Games) It should be noted that before that Sandi said a myriad of things about my ban: quote:Cloud Imperium Games (Cloud Imperium Games) quote:Cloud Imperium Games (Cloud Imperium Games) Of course Sandi isn't the only one who has an opinion on this. When asked about it David Swofford told William Usher that: quote:“I can tell you that the person in question violated our TOS and was banned for his behavior on the SC forums. Any further particulars for that ban are between CIG and our support staff." But then Jared Huckaby was nice enough to provide a quote to INN: quote:“We value the privacy of our backers, and therefore cannot comment on any disciplinary actions taken against an account or person. “Perma-bans” as they’re referred to, while enforced by volunteer moderators, and can only be approved by CIG employee staff members, and as such are the purview of the Community Manager, Lead Moderator, and Director of Community Engagement only.” So as of right now: - Sandi was outvoted when she tried to get me unbanned, but doesn't know why I was banned, but knows that I wasn't banned for what I said off-site, but has to find the moderator who banned me, even though only CIG staff can permaban people. - Patrick thinks it's surprisingly obvious that I was banned for colluding with Derek Smart, and that my actions (potentially corporate espionage) were so egregious that they warranted bypassing their own internal five punishment process. To be clear my actions were more egregious than posting child pornography or graphic fan fiction featuring genital mutilation. - David Swofford and Jared Huckaby are both certain that I was permanently banned for violating CIG's TOS and also exclusively for what I did on the forums. And in fact according to Jared nobody has ever been banned from the forums for activity outside CIG's own website. Including Derek Smart. Who says he never actually visited the forums. - After three months of inquiry not a single CIG staff member is able to tell me what post I made on the forums that was so egregious, so toxic, so indescribably horrible, so much worse than child pornography that it justified bypassing their own punishment process to ban me for. But yeah, it's pretty obvious I was banned for corporate espionage.

I would be surprised if they DONT manage to release it for november 2016 to drive the whales in a second feeding frenzy of Jpegs. Look at the games framework as it exist right now. The game is not stable, even if you remove the online and co-op component. Ships break apart for no reason, the physics are all hosed, people clip through everything, etc. Now take into consideration this letter and the PC Gamer loving cover story not having absolutely anything concrete in it. Now take into consideration that it usually takes 3-4 months after a game is complete to just iron out the bugs. Now finally take into consideration the general aptitude displayed by CIG so far. What makes you actually think that the game is going to be out this year other than "making games isn't hard"
