There is no way this isn't a marketer. Who else puts the titles of products in all caps if it isn't an acronym.

Evocati sources suggest no patch today either. "A couple blockers" named as culprits.

CIG timing things for effect to counter Elite´s 2.1? Or just sheer incompetence?

Most likely the latter, but i hope the former simply becuase it would be funny to think their "patch" could affect anything with Elite.

We just have a couple of blockers here at CIG before we can get the highly-anticipated 2.4 PTU patch to our loyal customers:

- Assets added in 2.4 do not work
- Mechanics added in 2.4 do not work
- Assets and mechanics added before 2.4 do not work
- Game does not work
- Technically there is also no game

We know that our backers are not entitled slackers, so we know you'll be patient as we work through all these issues, assuming we have time once we release Squadron 42, and as long as the money we make from that release is enough to get back to PTU development. If it's not, we're going to have to ask our backers to remain patient while we work on the next chapter of SQ42, and the one after that, etc. The more you donate to us, the more quickly we can turn a fraction of our attention back to the game you actually backed. C U N T 'Verse!

Soiled Meat

I'm behind, but I just skimmed this. It's been awhile since I've seen one of these. They spend 1/2 of it doing talking heads, then more talking heads while looking at a ship in a model editor. Then we finish up with a video that is composed of visual effects, text, and zooming in on concept art with camera effects, and finally the only gameplay is in the "which glitch" section, which is exactly as inspiring and exciting as you'd imagine it would be.

Is this really all these videos are now? How long has it been since they've shown something that you could call gameplay?

When I was a little girl is probably pretty common for people who were little girls at one point. Annabelle is obviously a shill, and probably was never a little girl but I don't think sandi would lower herself to spending time posting on the forums when she has over 100 million dollars to pay someone else to do it while she out doing weapons training or whatever.

You do not fully understand the mind of Mistress Sandi. Her marketing acumen is simply unmatched by anyone she could hope to hire and train, and she can already do the work of six people - why trust such a delicate communications to a mere underling? Besides, in her mind, this is a form of "acting", and she seems right in her comfort zone, because the only convincing acting she's ever done was when she was being abusive.

I guess I don't see her as some Machiavellian marketing genius, just a really lovely person who lucked into a bunch of money and now spends loads of it on things completely unrelated to making a video game. I think your average fence post could do just as good a job at selling jpegs to sad neckbeards.

I think part of it comes from her constant need to act out the role she thinks she occupies. It's not that she's any good at what she does, but she thinks she is, so she exercises her unearned authority at every opportunity. Much like the situation with Chris, CIG would be in much better shape today if she actually did just grab some money and take a long vacation.

A fence post would be more fair minded on their forums, and this would lead to an on the fence fence post post which is something I'd really like to see.

So wait -
Also in AAA titles with 100 million budgets - isn't 40-60 million of that development and the rest marketing / advertising budget?

Like The new COD - wouldn't that cost like 30-40 million making that and then another 30-40 million in tv / print / internet radio.

Whose going to chip in the 50 million for advertising for SQ 42 or is that already reserved? (Ben Lesnik is not advertising)

I've seen all of them play, The Meters a few times and Dumpstaphunk most recently. Fun shows, people get in to it and actually dance.
