The Trump situation demonstrates the failings of democracy, namely that every idiot gets a vote. If you tap into the undercurrent of hate and fear you can ride it all the way to the highest office in the land.

A comic mocking the release date of Star Citizen is now the 4th most upvoted submission on the subreddit.

Tbf if you assume that the artist is himself a member of the cult than it comes across as "Playing SC = literally being in space", rather than "lol by the time this game comes out we'll have actual space travel"

hi how are you

this thread has made me realise that I really enjoy Elite: Dangerous which is a game featuring spaceship that you can see out of

Also the game exists and is playable.

I was considering buying SC just so I could laugh at it but then I realised ED: Horizons also exists, costs less and is less of a waste of cash.

Hey EightAce:

Just out of curiosity, do you believe that SQ42 and Star Citizen are at this point completely hopeless endeavors? Or do you think they remain so primarily because of Chris Roberts' micromanagement/scoop creep/unreasonableness?

I assume SQ42 is going to be a pile of shiite no matter what, due to the script and the near impossibility of reshoots with core cast members. Star Citizen seems a far more malleable property, even if the feature-complete vision is beyond the reach of CIG. If Chris were out, and Erin steering a streamlined version of the game to completion, do you think Star Citizen could be salvaged?

Because he legit made cool games and is much more down-to-earth?

But yea...having one guy like that (even in a key position) is not enough, when there's a star-spangled primadona bearing over you day in and day out and dictating all cash and general workflow.

Because that makes the narrative even more interesting. Everybody likes an underdog with a criminally inept brother.

You could take the comic a few ways, those two that have already been said.


Citizens are so obsessed with SC they can't see reality and the amazing things around them.

Citizens what SC to be as mundane as reality.

This has been asserted by Derek, and has at least some historical analogue. I'm asking because I'm not really sure if it's true but figured EightAce might have an interesting perspective on the claim.

Because he never stopped doing video games, many of them above average success, to go on a 10 year Hollywood bender. He may not be a "John Carnack genius" developper but he did deliver as a producer at least 5 games since 2000's. He also did what his brother is failing gloriously right now in producing an updated Wing Commander with the Game "Starlancer" in 2000.

A simple guy who deliver might be exactly what this dumpster fire of overblown promise need. Paired with a community/marketing genius able to lower expectancy without the brown sea going bonkers might make the whole thing viable again.

Maybe my thread-click filter is finely honed, but GBS isn't that bad. It's been far loving worse over the years. GBS has always been an evolving sub-forum, and will always ever be.

e: I can't seem to reply to any threads on the rsi forums, though I haven't paid them a cent. Is this normal? Or have I been pre-emptively banned? I haven't posted with the account.

I don't want to say to much about Erin. What I will say is he only exists in the industry because of Chris and unlike Chris he has no discernable ability in any field.
He has a degree in geography I suppose so that makes him far more qualified than his sister in law .
Re:SQ42. No way can they get it out this year, if they went into permanent tag team crunch they couldn't do it. The arrogance of the top brass means they simply are not worried. If they just break every promise on everything they said they would do (which they pretty much are doing ) the horde would just give them more cash.
You are looking at early 2018 for a playable , almost there version of sq42 IF it was somehow streamlined. And between 2019 and never for all the other shite Chris has promised.
This is my opinion backed up by what I have seen behind closed doors and what I have been told by those that would definitely know.
