That's pretty much what i'm thinking. Except i think they've made a boo boo with that Squadron 42 and it's not going to resemble what they have marketed it to be.

also the PU in it's current form is what you see is what you get cause they're isn't any more.

I figured it out.


S42 will be the intro movie to the PU.

They greet you, and ask you in.

Then promptly knock you out, and toss you in the closet, just for shits 'n giggles.

And go make tea. And offer you some. As if nothing happened.

You're sitting there, still slightly stunned - drinking tea. And wondering just how hosed up the new residents are. Just like the old ones.

I think you should post in GBS when you're done here, just to keep your hand in. It's less of a slurry than you probably remember. This thread is the most GBS of Games threads so if you can handle this you'll probably enjoy it there.

I hope the big thing is something about Feds/IRS getting involved, because as soon as that happens it would be like a signal shot for journalists and publications to properly start reporting about this mess.

Before someone else claims it first, I'm going to put in my guess for the omg-omg-what-idiot-decided-this-we're-all-gonna-die reason things will fall apart:

Someone high up cheaped out or otherwise “forgot” to acquire commercial and/or developer licenses for key pieces of software in the backbone and asset pipelines (hey, all those artists means lots of licenses — do you know how many trips to Cannes that will buy you?), and all graphical assets — textures, models, motion data — from before December 2015 have been tainted and cannot be legally used in a commercial product. What effectively amounts to mass-piracy has happened across international and trade-agreement borders, making it a WIPO issue.

It doesn't fit with anything and I doubt it's even possible for it to actually be that bad, but it would be so hilarious that I can't help but pick it as my favourite extinction-level event. :D

This is how the CEO of a video game company should handle screwing up. I've not been a fan of Arcen's games since AI War, but have always had a lot of respect for them. I know this doesn't really compare to CIG, but this blog post contains everything we will never see from Roberts. Financials laid out, respect for his employees and customers and taking the blame for making mistakes.
drat, that's pretty soulcrushing, though they did release some games this century so that guy has way more cred than CRobbers.

GBS stopped being good in 2004, so I wouldn't bother. There, I said it.

Sorry to read this about Arcen - fair play to their approach I guess, but goddamn that must be soul crushing to write. Especially just after a release of what by all accounts is a decent title that ought to have put a little bread on the table.

I like this guess just for the sheer irony of it all. It's the Jurassic Park "spared no expense except for the IT guy so he was easily bribed by a competitor and caused it all to come crashing down" type of situation.

Has anyone ever gotten them, on stream, to answer the question of whether SQ42 cutscenes will be skippable? I would love to see Chris Roberts (even better Sandi) answer that, but since his stuff tends to be prerecorded it would be an incredible long-shot. Seeing any of them have to acknowledge that question on a live stream would be enjoyable.

Yeah, they will be skippable. Here is a demonstartaion:

Which may cause some gamergate level stupidity and people being investigated and getting death threats sent to them by angry neckbeards on twitter and reddit, so people might not feel like speaking up.

But the damage will have been done already. Whatever happens, however it happens, it won't be nice and it won't be good, not with the damage this whole fiasco is gonna cause to everyone. But it'll be beautiful. And we will be here, watching.
