So... the shitizens have literally just devolved to posting bullshit about Uncle Derek now (not that they weren't before, but they're calling him a massive sexist now).

https://www.reddit.com/r/DerekSmart/comments/435y5g/derek_smart_locked_thread_without_reply_regarding/

In this thread, they're calling him a sexist for having skimpy female armor. One of the dudes tweeted him about the "hypersexualisation of female characters".



A picture of the armor is below. There's literally no skin showing. And his game has women in it unlike Sausage Citizen :psyduck:

This is great, now Croberts doesn't have to spend 36 hours straight writing the farewell letter when this game crashes.

So what if Crobberts decides "aww gently caress it" and the next thing you see is a movie poster:

Coming soon to a cinema near you:
Squadron 42
An animated sci-first tale extraordinaire, with Gary Parp, Gillian X-Files and Mark Beefcake!

Dreams, dreams happen now...

I would prefer a 2 hour movie I can go to watch and make fun of with other people than a 5 episode game where each episode costs $40 and contains 5 hours of cutscenes and 1 hour of gameplay. Actually that makes me wonder, did CRoberts film all the cutscenes with this AAA stars or is he going to need to get them back in the MOCAP studio when they start working on SQ42 Episode 2?

I'm just so glad they took the time to make Star Marine look so perfect before putting it into the PU.

" Where Star Marine differs from Arena Commander is that we’re not launching it in its most basic game. Instead, we’re trying for something more. It includes animation fidelity and attention to detail that you wouldn’t normally expect in an “alpha” gameplay module. There’s even an entire sci-fi sports game with zero-G movement fully simulated and animated in there! (And don’t worry, there’s traditional FPS action too… with some new ideas that aim to set Star Citizen apart from the crowd.)"

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
I wonder if the backers realize how much they're being bait-and-switched. Chris only ever wanted to make his loving lovely movie, and he was always willing to sacrifice every other module at that altar. Now they're near the end of their funds, all spent trying to build all of the modules like Star Marine, the PTU, and so on, but with Chris's time-proven stupidity and mismanagement turning all that cash, and all that work, into a fine mist of piss on a summer breeze.

So now here we are, with all of the remaining funds being poured into the shittiest single-player space game we're ever likely to see in our lifetimes. Why do people think they need more bug-testing on Arena Commander? Why the sudden laser-like focus on SQ42, when until now all the focus and all the fanfare was on the PU and Star Marine? Because with their remaining funds, Chris cannot complete SQ42 unless he diverts all resources to it. Every other module experiment is now a failure and a write-off. This is it - this is where the last of the money is going.

This is what Chris wanted to do, so he did it with the money given to him for another product, and another promise, entirely.

This was never about building a universe. It was about attempting to build a universe on the side, while fulfilling his personal desires as the main goal, front and center.

He could have chosen to scrap SQ42 and put all resources on the PU that all his backers want, but he didn't. Backers got a hangar so they could see their ships and fantasize about their upcoming experiences, they got Arena Commander so they could better imagine what they would be like in combat, and they got the PTU, a barely-functional glimpse of how it would all tie together. Chris Roberts was not able to deliver both that universe, that the backers voted for with their dollars, AND the single-player mo-cap travesty he's trying to poo poo out right now, before the funds started to dry up. So Chris Roberts had to make a choice.

Backers should never, ever forget that when the money got tight, and Chris had the tough choice on which part of the game to concentrate on, he chose himself. He chose to use backer money to build his personal pet project, and ignore the very project whose promise generated those funds in the first place.

It's only January, but I'm going to nominate Chris Roberts for the rear end in a top hat of the Year award. Good job commando - you've earned it.

Not only that, but what others have said about moving money around like some kind of shell game, I think, is the final kill shot for this "game". Which game studio out of the 15 or whatever is next to get a cash injection?
