The best part of this saga is that 10 years from now, goons are going to get excited about some new crowdfunded video game that turns out to be a scam, and next thing we'll know Chris Roberts is going to be posting here talking about how he tried all this poo poo before and knows whats possible and whats not

Sperglord posted:I disagree here, Free to Play games make something like half the income from under 1% of the players. We know CIG is responsive to the needs of the high spenders, the subscriber forum and rumored super-whale concierge services confirm that. In this environment, I expect CIG to continue catering to that high spending crowd through gameplay, etc. If CIG were releasing SC as a F2P game then I'd agree, but they're trying to compete with games like elite and no man's sky and their pricing model will match. Nobody is going to buy a game where you're outgunned by a pay 2 win space commando as soon as you start, nor will they buy one where obtaining ships is an extremely lengthy process. If ships continue to be sold for $1000 after release, there are two possible scenarios. Either they're not worth $1000 because they can be obtained after a few weeks of play, or the only feasible way to obtain them will be to spend $1000 and SC is a p2w game that nobody wants to play. Both of these scenarios mean that they don't sell very many ships. One of them has the added bonus that they might get box sales if their game is any good. P2w games with a box cost is a terrible idea and I really don't think CIG are so blinded by their whales that they'd consider it.

When has common sense or reasonable expectations driven the decision making process at CIG?

Foot fetishism has almost ruined TV for me. Every time I see an actress barefoot, I think "Well, this scene will be on Youtube with half a million views." Then I feel depressed. Then I go and masturbate to blurry pictures of half a hand.

I think this is the post that best describes Star Citizens. Only way it could be outdone is the same person whining that walking away from important conversations and killing important NPCs shouldn't have bad consequences.

Lime Tonics posted:Bootleg BBC Chin posted:That's fair, but the BBC piece was almost pro-SC propaganda. They mischaracterized the game as primarily crowd-funded and downplayed the ship sales by only briefly mentioning them with a screenshot of a $45 ship purchase. Even in a fluff piece any quasi-journalist should at least mention that there are ships people are buying for hundreds and thousands of dollars -- and not necessarily as a negative/shocking aspect of the story, it's simply a significant point of interest. They also called it massively multiplayer in the present tense, among other inaccuracies. It was bullshit really. They just wanted "in" on the SC crazy before it all comes crashing down. And the fact that they had an SC shill working for the BBC, might have had something to do with this piece ever being put together; let alone be critical of this entire train wreck. Note how they too didn't see a SINGLE live game play footage of the elusive SQ42?

To be fair to the BBC, I don't think I've ever seen them cover a video game in anything but a fluff piece, games just aren't their thing. The bit at the end where the guy talks about how he's not seen enough to know whether it's any good and there are many vocal players saying they're not making enough progress is probably some of the most critical coverage of a game I've ever seen on the BBC.

I wonder how long CIG will be able to hold off this sort of thing if SQ42 has indeed got 100% of their focus and is only expected to appear mid 2017.

Fairly recent trend. I have to imagine there is probably a pretty good sized demographic of professionals with "gently caress you" type amounts of money that just want to relive their childhood.

Yeah, the game is not out and considering the number of jobs involved in the UK there's no real reason for them to rush to judgement. BBC Click is not BBC Panorama.
