One thing I'm still trying to make sense of is EightAce's latest confirmation of Derek's current information. It would seem they are in complete agreement on things - and yet at last count they held opposing views on CIG cash reserves, with Derek calling the cupboard bare and EightAce saying they had more than enough cash to weather the year. Cash more than anything else is determines the health of the concern, and if they truly are facing bankruptcy, Chris and Erin certainly aren't doing themselves favors in any future class action lawsuit by talking up their forward projections. I'm still inclined to assume their cash is healthier than we suspect. If it isn't, then I will have to revise my opinions of them downward, which would amaze me in Chris' case and disappoint me in Erin's.

I'm of the opinion that Derek is full of poo poo. He keeps promising poo poo and never delivers because of legal. Just loving post Derek.

Milky Moor posted:X-Wing Alliance had some really cool missions and some great set pieces (I adore the slow pace of the prologue campaign until poo poo gets real). Overall, I'd recommend it pretty highly. i recall the first third is great, the middle third is terrible (the enemy is huge swarms of unmanned robo-ties which are unsatisfying fights and sometimes frustrating missions), the last third redeeming it. had some great moments but I don't think going back to it would really be very satisfying now. it's not classic enough to be worth playing just for the historical appreciation, but also probably hasn't aged well either. maybe if you only wanted to play 3-4 hours worth it's a good choice though since it did have a strong start.

I recall but am far too lazy to find an exchange between them where Derek said, "you're being lied to," and whichever member of the EightAce collective replied, "Oh." Hey 8Ace if you're still around please clarify this one last point of confusion people have.

Lladre posted:If you re read EightAce's post he said they were told that the money was there. I don't think he saw it for himself. I still feel like we'd see a host of telltale warning signs if they were in a nose dive. I can't shake that feeling-- and we are watching them incredibly closely. Why aren't there more sirens going off? I know the weakness here is that I'm assuming the principals to be somewhat rational actors, which may be erroneous. I'm assuming Sandi is not so COMPLETELY out of touch with reality that she'd really join her community team in recording a green screen video that is the equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns if Rome was, in fact, burning. I'm assuming Chris and especially Erin wouldn't go on record talking up the amazing things around the bend when SQ42 releases and the PTU gets a couple more revisions. I mean Chris has hardly ever been more hubristic than he was in the latest subscriber edition with his Rockstar comments. They don't talk like people soon to lose everything, become complete gaming pariahs, targets of lawsuits and unstable fans, and subjected to the most merciless journalistic grave dancing and schaudenfraude since Ion Storm. They talk like everything is progressing according to plan-- like they believe it. Wednesday may be a gamechanger, and the titanic may have hit the iceberg... But in the interest of avoidimg disappointment, I'm just going to subscribe to a steady state theory, not the Big Crunch. That way if I'm wrong, I'll be laughing-- not signing and shaking my head.

G0RF posted:Yes-- I understand that and I recall Derek's counter that lies about cash were being circulated internally at CIG. But what if Derek's source is misinformed not EightAce's? i can't remember if you agreed or not - but i think the only real "tell" out of any of the videos recently that something was amiss was the weird one with Lesnick, Lando and Chris. everytime i see it i think Lesnick is either very physically unwell (a total possibility) or extremely miserable about something. Lando is nearly outright hostile at points. Chris was the only one maintaining his usual status quo - and Lesnick looked angry at him for doing so. but yeah, other than that i agree; the output from CIG has been very business-as-usual. of course, it's awful - but it's par for the course for them.

You should see it without the restrictions imposed by the strangely-coded AI. In retail FS2, most ships had limiters when the AI was piloting them - they couldn't fire their weapons as fast as the game said they should, they couldn't fire more than like four turrets at once, ships couldn't maneuver on a vertical axis to evade fire... You should see a capital ship battle with a flak screen with those restrictions lifted.

The idea that CIG (would have) run out of money this last December but saved themselves with a completely unanticipated push of buggy code and ship sales is about as absurd as the idea that they spent the next several months carrying on as though everything was totally normal and talking about S42's progress a few days before the company is going to be forced to close its doors due to being 'literally out of money'. Unless I missed the "they are out of money right now" revision to "the coming months" in one of the pages that I super skimmed.

His crazy ice-zombie eyes always either make him look like he's got a thousand yard stare going or like he knows exactly what you just did and is calculating the cosmic ramifications of it. And it doesn't help that he's a herding dog so he always just follows you around and watches whatever you're doing very intently. When he gets into his zoomies and is being really crazy his eyes glaze over like a loving serial killer. Beet Wagon fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Apr 4, 2016 |
