This is not something they are willing to gamble on, no matter how much of a benefit it would be to the consumer. And that's really the saddest part of it all. We have a press that claims to be there for the consumer, but everything they do shows otherwise. It's a sad state of affairs, but it's been going on for some time. It's why I don't give a poo poo about saying something, I'm not getting access as is nor do I care to if that's the cost, so I'm going to say what I want as opposed to what they want me to say.

wyoak posted:hire an editor good lord Hey you want the job? Sorry, but there's only two of us and funds are a bit tied up in other things like you know, getting by. Honestly though what about our site makes it appear to be a huge news source? We do what we do because it's what we enjoy. I know I can be verbose and long winded, and I know that V is the stronger writer. That's cool. But I'd rather put it out there, criticism and all, then bitch about it and do nothing.

Romes128 posted:Uh I think that site is just a few people that write stuff. I doubt they make enough money to hire staff. Well thank you. Cause here's the thing I don't think people grasp, we are two people. We do this because it's something we are passionate about. We aren't making money. I mean seriously, we make like a dollar a month off of the site that cost $5 to host. That's the reality. We haven't even seen a cent of that yet, as we aren't even close to the payout we would need to even begin to monetize it. We aren't doing this for fame, or to be beloved, or any of that poo poo. We are just two people doing what we think is right and what we enjoy doing. We've considered just giving up on it, but here's the thing it's our dream to do what we love and not be stuck under the boot of some other corporation/employer always having to answer to them. We in all honestly are barely getting by, but we keep going because once again, this is what we love to do. Not to mention, this is less then a year old. It's not like we have massive years of experience doing this. And that's really the thing about it. We could sit there and be content to work bullshit jobs day in and day out answering to everyone but ourselves, but we're not. We're daring to follow our dream and do what we want to do. If it works, it works. If not, at least we can say we tried. So with that in mind, we would hire an editor, but we can't. Because we'er not that big nor are we that well known to even warrant such. At the end of the day, we don't advertise like everyone else. We aren't shills. We don't bombard people asking for money or followers, etc. We just don't. If you like it, cool. If not, that's cool too. More then anything, my only interest, THE ONLY THING, that matters to me is this - is my wife happy and have I made her smile/laugh? If the answer is yes, then I could honestly give a gently caress less what anyone else has to say.

I've seen the true Chris Roberts today. A rich, spoiled, punk-rear end 11 year-old who throws a loving tantrum every time someone tells him no. An rear end in a top hat. A con artist. Just look at how he mixes his verb tenses. He brain is must be a REAL fun place. "I sort of get annoyed sometimes when I sort of see this pop up in comments and stuff like 'Oh Star Marine is cancelled' or 'Where's STAR Marine??" Well, Star Marine was just a game mode for people to play the FPS element of Star Citizen until we could combine everything together. Flying, running around, shooting, all the rest of the stuff, all together. Well, that is what's in 2.0, that is what's in 2.1. So, with the Alpha 2.0 onwards, you have basically what we were planning to do with Star Citizen from the very very very beginning. If you go back and look at the original pitch, we didn't say 'Hey we're doing Star Marine', we say we will have FPS, we will have boarding. Well, you HAVE FPS, you HAVE boarding right now" He's either a god-like creature that lives outside of discrete time, or he's a subnormal con-artist, and he doesn't much look like a god-like create that lives outside of discrete time to me so I guess that pretty much narrows it down.

Or maybe not. Derek you need to get the refund train out of this scam running again. What would it take to invalidate CIGs claim of substantial progress which they use to deny refunds? The best part of these threads was seeing goons get their money back, and you deserve credit for enabling that. This is your chance for true glory! Summon your legal pack and tear down that "gently caress you, got ours" refund denial letter. Oh and give us frequent detailed, self-referential updates about it.

I think he's just an idiot who happened to have a good idea once. I tried to read his dialog in my head to see if it made sense, and it almost broke my brain. It's not late enough for that to happen on its own. I think he just has a vague idea of what it's supposed to be and no idea whatsoever of how to put it in practice without simultaneously ruining it.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Exactly. That's what people should be focused on. Not semantics about Star Marine and what they are and are not doing with. That's little more than a petty distraction from the real insantiy. Chris Roberts is basically saying that they've delivered on all their promises. He's saying that everything they've planned for Star Citizen is already there. We have Derek Smart. He's not the publisher we deserve, but he is the litigious rear end in a top hat we have.

Yeah, the problem with Kotaku, as I see it at least, is they clearly have an agenda. Which almost everyone does, but there's is so transparent it's not even funny. Like you said, every once in awhile they will stand on principle and that's all well and good, but they're clearly pushing their own agenda. Which is their right. But they get a bad rap for a reason generally.
