Out of all the screw ups and debacles, I have a soft spot for Chairgate. It just wraps up everything wrong in a poo poo burrito. It does sadden me that the Director of Spaceships was unable to find a ultimate resolution after 4 months of deep detective work due to leavers.

I have this sneaking suspicion that Ben's lack of oversight over the project and what people are working could be due to the fact that once he's finally gotten into his office room, he seldom or hesitantly leaves it again during the workday due to different circumstances of which I can name none right now.

It would also be really unsurprising if the people he works with have some level of contempt for the dude, or view him as an annoyance. From what I understand he got the job for being "Chris Roberts Fan #1", and I doubt he has to put in nearly as many hours/as much effort as the actual developers.

Tokamak posted:This just pretty much confirms that all of the planets and moons will be empty except for that one station in 3.0. They're just rushing the planets out and filling them in later, just as this post suggests. I found it telling that their big planetary landing reveal and subsequent moon were both empty expanses of rock. I mean I know that is pretty much the case in reality, but you'd figure for their BIG SHOW, they'd have something more impressive.

Free snacks and sodas, and unlimited access to the old Wing Commander archives in the dusty file cabinets Roberts bought along from Origin Systems? Plus moderator forum access to lord over lesser spergs and demonstrate his authority? I doubt that fucker ever leaves the office, except when he requires hospitalization.

Why do shitizens keep insisting that this is an AAA game? If it just ends up as a space ARMA, with janky physics, half-assed animation, and really crude damage models, it would still be a fun game to fart around in. I'd be on board for something like that.

Double float precision and full on ProcGen. Publicly confirmed as "in the game". Why the gently caress then the game remains artificially limited to a capped speed of 0.2C, forced straight line quantum travel between 2 points and reduced planetary scales?

From what I understand he got the job for being "Chris Roberts Fan #1", and I doubt he has to put in nearly as many hours/as much effort as the actual developers. I think this is most likely what happens. A dude with zero programming or project management experience gets put in charge of this thing, and everyone under him hates him. He doesn't have the knowledge base to even ask the right questions to any of his artists or programmers, and is constantly nervous about being made to look like an idiot, so he hides away in his office playing with old wing commander poo poo.
