/r/starcitizen is full of people 'asking questions' today. 2.4 is breaking the citizen's psyche. CIG needs to act quickly and release another hype trailer. Maybe footage of a ship flying across a PG-planet and then landing on the surface, or maybe an upcoming ship landing on a new space station.  230 comments questioning crobert's immersion animations. Citizens are questioning the vision. This can not stand.

We never did get told how many NDA signers are out there either. I'm guessing 150, if there are that many left playing. That was a seriously small "test group" statistic thing. Oh, and you would think that working on a patcher would take priority in say THE FIRST GOD drat THING TO DO", but I don't know about game development. I feel grief.

boviscopophobic posted:I know that's just a rhetorical question, and also this answer is comparing apples to oranges, but a bit over 120K citizens have nominally been added since early February. Of that, just quickly eyeballing the chart, I'd guess that about 30-40K of them were brought in specifically by the free fly events. I have not seen evidence of significant short-term increases in funding based on increases in citizen count. One thing we can't see is... how many of them bought a package and/or have actually STUCK around.... I'm guessing the line goes STEEP.

How many people would that be if say one person called in sick. Im guessing that dude was the 6%

Gamasutra: Money for Nothing - Gamers & The Buyers of Virtual Assetsquote:"Video gaming has evolved from a single-player platform to a multi-player realm where interaction with other players is often a necessity. In order to enter the game, players must first create an avatar, a representation of their self in the game that is used to explore and interact with the virtual environment. When creating an avatar, players can also buy virtual assets to augment and/or enhance their online character (i.e., items or customisations for video game avatars, bases, and characters that are purchased with real money). Full article worth reading, especially any CIG employees here trying to figure out the right feature mix for 2.5. We know how badly the bosses want to pry open those backer wallets. Tap into that gambling instincts and you can squeeze them for what little remains of their hard earned cash!

I said that 2.4 would never be released because it's such a disaster it would be the ELE on its own. Hours later 2.4 went out to the NDA'd testers, and I thought I ate poo poo on my prediction. That was almost 3 weeks ago. I'm now leaning back toward my original assessment that it will only be released if they have no other choice but to release it, and it will be the stick that breaks the back of the community. At this point, they are only desperately flailing to buy time.

On Ben's wheeze-around of the new LA office I recall seeing maybe a few dozen people? Have there ever been indications of the Frankfurt crew being sizeable? Obviously there's that photo of several dozen people at Foundry 42 but that makes sense considering Squadron 42 is the only thing the company's really working on. Overall it seems likely they have far fewer employees than claimed. It'd certainly explain their longevity despite Chris' profligate Hollywood director tendencies.

From alleged Evocati testers: The issue that broke the servers early last week, still on and CIG seems not able to correct it so far. From where I suspect not much testing is going on at the moment.
