Sandi has sadly passed. What you are watching is 'Weekend at Sandis' those idiots have to keep the pretence up or its all over. Jared becomes dumpster lando once again, Money has to find another company to be a token minority in and Ben just does exactly the same thing but in his living room if anyone twigs that Sandi is in fact an ex Sandi

Did they ever have the multi-studio meet the Fuhrer meeting you talked about a couple weeks ago?

Comments about Ben's size, maybe. Comments about a self-proclaimed actress having no discernable acting ability or screen presence? No.

Congratulations goons. We now have a more influence over the development of Star Citizen than the mindless hordes of the RSI forums who have thrown over a hundred million at the project. This thread is now a direct line to the CEO and the best marketing director in the history of the whole freaking verse.

I only watched for a couple of minutes but I caught the bit about them wanting their fans to tone down the arguing with non-fans on "click-bait" media pieces.

Interesting they feel the toxic community of nutters is going to put new backers off, bit late to worry about it now though.

Another reason this thing is like a bloody cult is the limited vocabulary such as "click-bait" available to the loonies, they all sound the same and by "the same" I mean demented.

That's hilarious. Didn't Sandi say before how proud she was of the special Star Citizen community? Maybe CIG is belatedly realizing that groups of insanely toxic asshats spamming every article remotely related to Star Citizen doesn't look very good to outsiders.

Concentrate all efforts on episode 1 SQ42 . Now internally accepted as is , will be available q2 or 3 2017. This will involve 6-7 hours terrible cutscene and some minor scripted missions. Fly from a to b kill something , etc.

DS already said that the number went up because of the holiday sales and that they made something like an extra quarter's worth of cash.

Though of course Enron's higher ups didn't know how hosed they were until right near the end...

Can we get an embedded PAAAARRP air horn audio playing in this thread, interspersed at random intervals with Derek making cryptic predictions as to the future actions of CIG based on insider sources? I want the halls of CIG HQ to reverberate with the sound of air horns as they desperately listen in hoping to keep up to date on their own failures.
