I better make sure I explain this one to Bootcha. Also, agreed on the lime > lemon; all my Mexican recipes call for lime, and I can't disagree. I think lime is much fresher and zestier. I only like lemon in about three things: lemon meringue pie, lemon pound cake, and the lemon in my sauce for trout a la creme.

Ash1138 posted:Because I don't know about business, does this just mean that CIG gets to deduct that amount when filing their taxes because they've spent that much to expand their UK operations because it means they're helping the UK economy by adding more jobs, renting office space, etc. and that all this has happened over the last year or two so it's not like it's a big infusion of cash to the UK studio all of a sudden? The article about the US investment in the UK company is merely a hint at how much the US company has paid the UK company for services rendered. There is no capital investment. The motion capture and other Foundry 42 Ltd operating costs will need to be actually paid. Foundry 42 Ltd has not shipped anything and does not sell anything so the actual cash has to come from somewhere. If Foundry 42 Ltd is incurring these costs, they have to pay these costs. If as the article notes Foundry 42 Ltd negotiated receiving payable tax credits based on their expenditure, it makes sense to put as many expenses through this company as possible to get as much tax credits as you can. Assuming they filed the correct set of accounts then looking at the accounts for Foundry 42 Ltd for the period 24 September 2013 to 31 December 2014 shows that at that date, there was a ceiling of around £5m of non-capital expenses in Foundry 42 LTD and £6m invoiced. They spent £0.5m on fixed assets. Someone who has followed this closer could look at the UK team size and ponder burn rates for that period and hopefully come up with numbers lower than these. If the article says US "investment" so far was £15m then you can start to assume that Foundry 42 Ltd's expenses/invoices to the US companies total a further £10m (15m less whatever the actual number was to December 2014) in 2015. However, things do start to become complicated here. It is my understanding that at the end of January of 2015 the US company was no longer selling Star Citizen (but probably still had a pile of cash). All sales were now going through a UK subsidiary (Roberts Space Industries LTD) and presumably paying this money forward to CIG UK LTD which might now take up the position formerly held by the US company. But it is quite possible that the UK parent company had to transfer some/most/all the funds to the US company which still owned the IP and making the Star Citizen et al (and not making Squadron 42) and then the US company paid the UK subsidiary (Foundry 42 Ltd). It seems unlikely that Foundry 42 Ltd only spent ~£12m in 2015 including the motion capture and continued burn rate and so I would suspect that CIG US and CIG UK (which both now have sources of income) both paid cash to Foundry 42 LTD in 2015. The 2015 accounts are due at the end of September and we now know they are certain to be a full set of audited accounts after reaching audit level but we all know how deadlines work for Chris. Given they couldn't file non-trading company accounts on time, I wouldn't expect to ever really see these accounts.

Squadron 42 is most certainly going to be a console release. CIG hardly has a choice at this point. Sandi- even Sandi- is not foolish enough to think that they can continue to frack the sperm whales for more whale oil to power this monstrosity all the way into 2017. She has spoken of "taking the pressure off existing backers" with some new campaigns intended to bring in younger (i.e. naive) pups so the older backers can have some relief. But whether she is having a brief bout of conscience or more likely acknowledging the upcoming shift, CIG knows the easy money (if its to be had) is now chasing dolphins in the Console waters (at least for SQ42, which is their pressing priority and on whose success the entire future of Star Citizen precariously rests.) We all see the wicked calculus behind all this. Chris Roberts turbocharged the success of his crowdfunding campaign by appealing to the PC Master Race, telling them: Chris Roberts posted:"They said I was dead. They said the console was the future. Now they say mobile and tablets are the future. I say to you, the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I am a PC Game."  The early reaction to this false dichotomy bit of pandering was the rapturous response of PC enthusiasts (including us). Then by showing non-gameplay game footage, developed for them by the third party, they teased the hook and jerked hard when mouths closed around the bait. It is hilarious in the bleakest way possible that after years of squeezing enormous funds out of that very audience with a bogus narrative ('fidelity' as a short hand for CPU/GPU intensive processing not available on consoles) and that dishonest formula (showing the backers non-gameplay game footage), CIG would be planning to pivot to the console market with Chris Roberts Personal Redemption Project (Squadron 42) WHILE LEAVING STAR CITIZEN / PTU DEVELOPMENT ON THE BACKBURNER. Yet everything they've said recently quietly points towards this as the plan, with the exception of the Hotas development (which has been two years coming). It probably should be noted that Squadron 42 doesn't have to be a homerun hit in order to keep the lights on. It could be a MetaCritic 50 game and still find some takers. Since CIG will keep selling ships all the while, even as development on the PTU crawls slowly due to lack of prioritization, this plan to muddle ahead just might financially work, even if the outcome is the development on Star Citizen flounders for all of 2016. Chris and Sandi are nothing if not unrepentant. When Star Citizen backers figure out they've been used a Stage One booster rocket to get CIG off the ground and into the upper atmosphere just so they can be jettisoned as the rest of the rocket powers ahead, they're going to be pissed. As well they should be. Yet CIG has barred the exits at this point with the revised TOS, so good luck to them getting some financial relief. Chris and Sandi JDGAF. Oh, and if PC Master Racer SC backers don't already have enough bile in their mouths from that, the worse news is that if this plan somehow does end up getting CIG's coffers filled enough to bring the PTU to a credible state of completion, it'll be time to buy new PCs. Derek Smart posted:I told you this already-- as you can see in my blog. This is not news. They are crooks and the hour of their judgment is at hand. I can not say more but something glorious is coming. Two weeks.
