Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Not only is it a core promise from Kickstarter, but they emphasized the feature after Elite dropped it. Now the community manager just said they won't even think about it until after going live. And nobody is calling them out for it. You even have assholes saying they don't even want private servers. It neither appears in the original KS campaign, nor the funding stretch goals. So they can definitely go back on that one without ramifications.

Especially birds. And animals. And skinning animals. at this point, they can break the promises that were in writing too. star citizens will not care. they will thankfully lap up whatever turd gets dropped to them, like mana from heaven, while defending the companies right to arbitrarily bail on stretch goals. for example, sq42 now being considered the primary game.

Mirificus posted:They mention private servers in the FAQ of the Star Citizen Kickstarter. I know, but I don't think that counts. It's not in the campaign description and it's not in the stretch goals. Those are the only two places where it would have to appear for them to be held to it. Heck, right off the bat they said it wasn't an MMO. Since then, and even in the current game description, they're saying that it is. So there is that. quote:Is Star Citizen an MMO?

If people posted this before, my apologies, this thread moves fast. A sign of things to come? http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/19/9759834/zano-drone-bankrupt-liquidation-kickstarter tldr 3.6mil Kickstarter goes tits up for "reasons" after delivering a tiny amount of shoddy product that didn't live up to lofty promises. Cries of scam abound. Nobody is getting a refund. Looks like a crystal ball to me!

/r/starcitizen loving broke me.  I've been doing Free Republic for 8 years but after one month I can't deal with these people in cordial terms any longer, from now on it's straight shitposting and there's no point in having that linked to my "real name".

Bootcha posted:He also gets carried away with his "Angry" character projection and can come off as a bit of a dick in addition to being insufferable. When he's not trying to prove anything, he's irritable but generally an okay person. He gave Sword of the Stars II a glowing review, then it turned out that the game released wasn't the same as the E3 footage that he'd seen, His reviewing credentials are somewhat _suspect_. So I converted the account to PTU, got the email with the new password, selected 'PTU' in the client, and it's been trying to download the last 350.05Kb of the game for around 7 hours. Should I give it another hour or so?

If they had just made that the game they might have had a chance of getting it out the door. Although I'm pretty sure I remember doing all this already in Spore.

Not caught up with the thread. But I am up to the point of the customer service email purge. This is very amusing, given the light of Beer's email chain. Now they can say, without lying, "We have no record of that exchange." That's kind of scummy, and really upsetting to all the people in the system with legitimate issues, but the choice for the Roberts' was obviously an easy one. Plausible deniability, backed up with no data to prove it did/did not happen. Just removing that single email chain would imply guilt or render evidence that their VP of marketing is kinda terrible. In the light of a "full system purge", assuming the brunt of the email happened prior to 2016, now they can claim it was business as usual. Oh, and sorry but your email chain was lost too! Oops. And of course, everything is perfectly fine. Here, buy some more pictures!

I don't remember the review being glowy, I remember the PREviews being glowy and whatnot, but the actual review amounted to the standard reaction from everyone else (it's a pile of lies and poo poo).

It's funny because if they are using JIRA (or basically any ticketing system) they are probably using the SaaS version and could easily recover any conversations that happen

Use the quote he made on reddit right back at him. I can't find it but someone posted it here, I think Mirificus or whoever did. It was them going on about how people waste their time posting negativity about the game being pathetic. Edit - Found it Mirificus posted:Of course Rajafa is there to defend CIG. Didn't they say that they only spend 30 minutes on Reddit per day? Mekchu fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Jan 12, 2016 |

Self-hosted multiplayer is explicitly mentioned as a key feature in the original Kickstarter project description and the original RSI site.
