Wow, I never thought of that - we have years now, possibly decades, of developers throwing "Star Citizen" easter eggs into their games for lulz. Worth the 107 mill imo.

No, they acquired the license. MWO is different from Battletech Kickstarter.

EDIT:


I didn't know that, that is pretty cool

I was more referring to Weisman possibly being listed as a producer on MWO because Weisman founded FASA back in the day, and I wasn't sure even with all the IP sales of Battletech throughout the years that he and other original creators might still be getting some credit on things using the IP.

But yeah also cool to hear they're salvaging assets from someone :)

poo poo, this thing transcends time and existence at this point.

Ever watch 2001? There have been many interpretations of the film. Kubrick foretold this.

The reality is that a monolith showed up at Crobert's outdoor patio next to the pool, Ferrari and outdoor kitchen. Croberts danced around and waved fist full of $100 bills in an attempt to start a fire...until he realized that the monolith contained the code for Cryengine. He learned he could do greater things. That was the spark for mankind.

So we have to fast-forward several hours through the movie. The parts with an operating AI NPC, space stuff, physics, plot, accurate details, etc. Now we are at the part where Croberts turns into a Star Child.

Cripes, it really is that drat simple.

Yeah, but at least 2001 got finished. We're just sitting here waiting for him to turn into a Star Child, and it's never going to happen.

There's a Hornet on it.

It's been "under review" for over a year now. LEGO have carefully avoided making a decision on it. They probably don't want to have their name associated with a shitshow if CIG collapses, but they're wary of the backlash if they reject it outright.

It's been suggested before, but it bears repeating. We should start a "Save Star Citizen" kickstarter, take all the moneys, buy the IP and assets, then, in the ultimate switcheroo, put Derek Smart in charge. That should fuel the fun here for the next decade minimum.

It's amazing and horrible to me that the focus of their ire is still on a backer they banned from their forums making them look ridiculous.

He said a bad thing. If there's one thing a narcissist cannot stand - one thing that gnaws and tears at them and drives them to distraction - it's the thought that someone might be thinking a bad thing about them right now. People have already pointed out that Sandi seemed determined to engage Beer directly just so she could tell him off for his line about suicides. That line has clearly lodged in her consciousness and she must - MUST - make Beer recant.

I genuinely believe that is why Beer was banned. Yes, the "obvious" tale is that his questioning upset people and his advice about how to apply for refunds was damaging their income. That's how someone might rationalise it. But the real reason the button was clicked was almost certainly MAKE THE BAD MAN STOP SAYING BAD THINGS.

Erin Roberts gave an interview to a Norwegian gaming website about Squadron 42 during PAX

Even though Squadron 42 is released as a final product, players will also here have to be patient: “The one player campaign in Squadron 42 is played out in five chapters, with around 15 hours of content in each chapter. Each chapter will be like a game in it self, and when all the chapters are released Squadron 42 will contain over 70 hours of content.” - ERIN ROBERTS

The funny thing is, 15 hours is gently caress all. The witcher 3, ONE GAME, with a much smaller budget, gives you a minimum of 90 hours of gameplay. The DLC (for 10 bucks) adds another 10 hours, and there's a second bit of DLC that'll add another 20.

Once again, SC underachieves.
