Alright here's my guess for the future based on inference and the magic 8-ball.

RSI/CIG pulls off a corporate inversion, transferring everything to Foundry 42 in the UK.
CIG USA can now go into chapter 11, freeing it from obligations to the backers.
F42 goes on to push out SQ42 on consoles, maybe there's a PC port at some point.

Can I get a confirm/deny here Derek?

They can't do any of that because every entity tied to Star Citizen, was created with backer money. The money trail is not that hard; regardless of how many companies they've created around it. That's what forensic accountants & investigators do for a living.

Honestly they can shovel out whatever poo poo they want to and call it whatever and most likely be good legally. They're only hard legally liable for physical backer rewards.

As far as I can see nothing illegal has been done. Just unethical/incompetent poo poo.

edit: They'll just be banned from kickstarter like that fem frequency lady is. But I doubt they'd care after getting 100 mil on their own website.

Cobblers seems to be completely on-board. He's been making procedurally created bird posts on the RSI forums for a while now, and they are par-excellence.

Hey ATXSperg-

Have you see this upcoming Ship Sales Floor we've heard so much about in the last two months of AtV? Is CIG finally ending the "Sausage Citizen" era via the introduction of female NPCs to the game with it? Or will it just be more endless clones of the universal dark-haired, crazy-eyed Everyman we're already sick to death of?

Also-- can you comment on particle physics quality in champagne bubble animations at this point? I'm really hoping they don't cut corners on the fidelity levels there. If it looks like they are, let me know and I will send Chris a clip of some fantastic bubble systems in another game so that can go back to the drawing board and get retooled.

I hope the bubbles are procedurally generated! A canned animation wouldn't be very fidelitous at all

Actually if they are going to do the NDA thing, that probably means they are going to reset the game engine or something.

So game development time is actually NEGATIVE 2 weeks.

The game is so great it breaks time.

It makes sense if you have to practice for the entire day. As in a, 'Can't go outside, I've got chores to do' kinda way. I'd say something like that myself.
