No, for real. How the gently caress do you program a console app for Windows in such a way that it fails catastrophically if the console font is set “too large”?!

Flarpy posted:Yeah, I have no idea. It must require doing something ridiculously pointless. my guess is that since the console app has an asci picture they added, to make the picture "look right" they had to play with default fonts that causes client side issues with standard default font size on the user end im talking out of my rear end but somehow, i know im right i just fixed it for you cig delete your stupid asci pic so as not to force out new players

Madcosby posted:They make millions a month from the same fanbase each month. They dont need new people, they can drain the old That's what I'm saying. This whole thing is a smoke screen for the backers they're milking. Nobody at Gamescom is impressed by this shitshow. This show isn't for new customers. It's only because if they don't show up and do their little song and dance, then their cash cow will dry up faster than Donovan at the end of The Last Crusade.

Just a reminder: CIG's preparation for the five days of streaming is so bad today they literally had only two working headsets, one of which was fused to Jared, so the streamers had to lend theirs whenever somebody from the studio came to say hi.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:The problem with Elite is that you know what you're going to get, but what you're going to get sucks unless you're a very specific type of sperg. The one thing that Elite lacks more than anything else is player agency. You can't really do anything or influence anyone significant. The entire org game is based around manipulating a background simulation so that factions which you have no real allegiance to take over systems you have no influence in. This is intentional, but unfortunately it's also not terribly accessible. It takes all of the drudgery of EVE while leaving out the reward of actually accomplishing anything aside from manipulating a few numbers. Their latest community events are pushing people into an emerging new civilization bubble and an insider claimed that the point was to have a player run bubble a big distance from npc space. Now nothings been confirmed yet but it was supposed to be mentioned in this gamescom. Engineers was basically a huge change to how you could individualize your ship and a poo poo ton of equipment doesn't make sense unless you plan to pvp (Warp stall mines, shells that push people off course making orientating yourself to jump harder) They need to add a whole lot more ways for people to communicate, make organizations, etc and they are apparently working on it.

"The Faithful" God drat, this isn't a scam after all, is it? If they were looking to collect millions from credulous nerds and then vanish, they wouldn't go to all this trouble and expense. If it were me, I'd just pay some artists to make some gorgeous pre-rendered footage, pay a shill streamer to show it, and coast on promises. Based on the day 1 stream... I think Chris really blindly believes in the project, and everyone is too cowed to tell the emperor his dick is out. Which is the true tragedy here. I've seen the same pattern with bitcoin and jonestown and MRAs and Islamic State. There's not too much mental disconnect between a suicide bomber, someone who lost his kids' college fund to a bitcoin ponzi, and that farmer who was like "Well I know StarCit might destroy me but  "This... is becoming profoundly sad.

Barn Folk posted:So what is the ratio of money spent on this show to how much money it is bringing in? I imagine that a normal game would spend money to advertise at Gamescom to bring in even more money down the line. Normal game companies use events as a way to access the media and the public, either showcasing upcoming projects (Call of Duty) or reinvigorating interest in existing IP (Overwatch). The entire point is to connect people with stakeholders and get the right eyeballs on the product. That drums up interest resulting in media exposure, articles, and from an industry perspective connections. At this point you're putting yourself in direct competition with everyone else, and usually the interest is on the product and not the pitch. Oh hey Elite is doing a stream as well.
