"A few clarifications. We don't have ads or make money. In fact we are well into the red. We are an LLC because we are a publishing company and have to protect ourselves. It's in the name, Limited Liability Corporation. You make way more money then we do. Nobody has personally ever seen a cent over here. The patreon money doesn't even come close to covering server costs." The D dropping truths.

Also, bitcoin is out of reach unless you have a scaled ~cloud~.

What loving server costs? They could run INN on a $5 or $10 Digital Ocean droplet. The youtube videos get literally DOZENS of hits a year.

Pretty sure I could host their server on my NAS

Nothing on their site would require them to go "in the red", they make loving webcam videos

Why do they all think "Everyone thought PC Gaming was Dead"?

In the dark ages when people bought games at shops PC gaming was in a bad place. Consoles were popular and PC gaming was for massive spergs with too much money. So shops devoted more shelf space to consoles and the PC section seemed to shrink every week. Plus what you did get was often bad ports with console UIs.

Then Steam came along and saved PC gaming now it's worth zillions.

Like everything to do with games Chris is years behind the curve and his fans eat it up because they are dumb.

The Hangar will have it's own personalized, persistent, "fidelitorius", aviary, full of the beautiful birds that you rescue by BOOPING into them at low velocity.

Ram them at high velocity and you will get a warrant put on you for "Nefarious Bird Murder" which is forbidden in the 'Lax.

At least that's the way I see it.



I swear to God Toops, if my hangar doesn't have birds.... OH also, can I go searching for different birds at other planets? So that I can collect them and put them in my hangar aviary?

I made a long HD video of a tour of the Starguard carrier. An entire massive behemoth that Spergs are going to be so pissed their half-baked tech demo can only dream of rendering; let alone playing in. More to come!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jCUQ1z0hzU

Honestly Derek the graphics are really bad, to the point where they detract from any possible gameplay appeal. The most glaring problem is the color palette; it's basically an endless selection of blue shades. The models themselves look dated and simplistic, as if this game was a decade out of place. Nothing about that video is compelling me to want to know more.

If they keep getting ridiculous amounts of money for little-to-no output, what's their incentive to increase output and potentially reduce their income because of disappointed backers?



ok serious non shitpost here.

I've been wondering for a long while if this whole fiasco is going to really negatively impact the gaming industry. Look, CIG has managed to raise 105+ million dollars and barely produce a tech demo or anything really substantial. How many gaming executives are out there watching this and wondering to themselves, "hmm if we can create enough of a hype around a concept people fat nerd idiots will give us money and make all sorts of excuses for us."

CIG possibly has the worst development results in the history of gaming. That's pretty hard to do when you have Duke Nukem forever out there. They've produced almost nothing and there are STILL people fat nerd idiots giving them money. What are the long term consequences to gaming from this monumental clusterfuck? It can't possibly be good for those of us that enjoy real games for this to continue.
