Soiled Meat
Ok I cracked the code.

What happened is Chris or someone with admin privileges to all their servers, clicked on a malware link and it reiterated through every file and every share encrypting them with an RSA that ransomed their files for a large bitcoins sum.
Rather than pay the thief they thought they would be smart and decrypt it themselves (possibly why Erin had to fly back to the States to knock some sense into Chris?).
Now it is too late, and the ship has sailed. And when they turned on the restore from backups, it of course failed. Since nothing is done right at their workplace.

So they had to go scramble to find the latest working backup which is really freaking old, and not even from the PU but from Sq42 (possibly why Erin had to fly back to the States to hand it physically o Chris?) so of course it has the old script stuck in it.
And explains why the latest version is even more broken than the last.


You heard it here first.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?
I can't believe the incredible arrogance on Chris Roberts' part. This guy hasn't made a successful game in over a decade, and has a list of failures under his belt significant enough to put his net contributions to gaming deep into the red. Derek has harped on Sandi's lack of respect for people who've made their livings working in gaming, but she's nothing compared to Chris. Every game that has been made by modest, skilled, hard-working developers to push the genre forward is being met by Chris's absolute contempt. Yeah, ok so Witcher 3 was OK, he guesses, but that's just because HE hasn't tried yet, that's all. Yeah I'm sure the Skyrim developers made a game and all, but what till they see what he does. MAYBE Rockstar can match him, if they're lucky. Maybe.

What a miserable piece of poo poo this man is. He has absolutely no pedigree to back up the kinds of claims he's making, and frankly, it's disrespectful and insulting to the entire community. I can't think of a single instance where Derek talked like Chris does (aside from against Star Citizen, which he's right about), but Derek gets the lion's share of poo poo. Meanwhile Chris gets a free pass and a pat on the back from the cultists.

I'm willing to give Peter Molyneux, John Romero, gently caress even George Lucas a total free pass at this point on the mistakes they've made. You guys can all go free, and in my book, you've wiped the slate clean. Chris Roberts is the one I want to see go down - as hard and as spectacularly as possible. Sneering openly at people who are his superiors in every conceivable way, while pissing away over $100 million and failing at every turn, even at things I didn't think it was possible to fail at, is not forgivable.

Choke hard on that E.L.E. dick, Chris.

Sperg Ship:

His Chairmans Ship Cutscene

HCS Cutscene won fame during the battle of Funding by leading an action against a numerically superior number of enemy forces that had come to the system in search of a rare and precious metal known as G4m-PLY. When the enemy couldn't find any G4m-PLY in system and threatened to raze every Sperg settlement, Cutscene pressed the advance and kept them busy until Task Force Marketing showed up to help subdue them.

In those five hours that Cutscene held the line alone, she saved countless Sperg lives.

He jabbers endlessly about loving nonsense details but keeps revealing the fact that EVERYTHING they've built up to this point is being shitcanned and redone. I hear this as: all work to date on the engine object/entity system, net code, physics it is all 100% unusable garbage. Listening to that made my jaw drop, they got loving nothing after all this time.

You're an actual coder so what is your take on this? If what CR is saying is they've been rebuilding 'the new poo poo' for about a year wont 100% of the level design / art work done to this point need major rework? How they sweet gently caress are they shipping SQ42 in the next 18 months?

Does anyone know if this RtV got transcribed? Because I'm starting to think my brain just can't understand mushmouth's dialect or something.

I've just tried listening to the same bit about patching/build revisions 3 times and I still can't make sense of it. Maybe someone else can confirm but is he really implying that up until this point they haven't had version control on code or assets? And why does he seem to confuse introducing a patcher for the client with compiling/building the program?

Like, I'll genuinely admit that IANAGD but to me all this sounds either really confused or batshit crazy.
