There will be the group hell bent on getting the assets and code. So they can complete the game.

Sad part is they'll probably make more progress than CIG until their inevitable break up over disagreements.

This. It'll be 100 guys, and they'll somehow fork into 200 squabbling projects.

In very obliquely related news — :dice: apparently makes enough money from their subpar shooter game thingy that they, too, could afford to spruce up their offices.

Unlike CIG, though, their game is out, and is successful. Also unlike CIG, their office (link in Swedish, but just look at the images you spergs) won an award.

As a builder, this is very tasteful and elegant and in no way as gawdy and obnoxious as CIG's lovely studios. The interesting thing to note is the streamlined minimalist design aesthetic. The absence of acoustical tile on the ceiling replaced by grid work and actual professional lighting design is very impressive. This is what success does for a company. The big thing that does catch my eye is the tasteful usage of perforated materials and delicate inlays for accents. Even the wall murals being used are tasteful and subtle rather than offensive and assaulting when compared the the CIG cafeteria. But the lighting design is top loving notch. Those Swedes know their poo poo when it comes to this sort of thing.

So when Star Citizen fails, how are backers going to react?

-Some will disappear from the internet
-Some will blame goons for ruining everything
-Some will defend CR and say that at least he tried
-Some will blame third parties that didn't match Roberto's vision, like illfonic
-Some will say the alpha and being involved in the project was enough to justify their expenses

What else?

Either way, the post-mortem is going to be incredible.

Before NMS came out nearly nobody was saying too many interesting or critical things about it, but after it imploded.... Now multiply that warm goodness by 130 million.

I noticed that recently banned backers from refunds don't publicly appear to be banned anymore... their rsi avatar is the same and the only sign that all that's left is a digital crater is when you get 404'd if you try to click their dossier.




Is this a new form of damage control or was it always like this?




I remember seeing red marked avatars for those in the kingdom of the banned like they were trying to make an example of you by digitally stringing up your corpse as a warning to other forum goers
whereas now they seem like they'd rather not raise suspicions and doubts.


Seems they're scrubbing comment history as well, it now says Fain80 only has 22 posts. I looked at this as soon as he was refunded when I noticed his avatar still unmolested in Delearia's rsi angst thread and it was more like 2200?

Well they banned my first account from the videos you linked from twitter (I'm pretty sure) the second ban was my fault, as I asked WTF what his (real life ones, if there are any) friends would say about him spending $13,000 on an imaginary video game, to which was led to a perma ban. Then I started asking mods why I was banned for such a open-ended question, where WTF had to explain in his stream why he wasn't going to unban me. I wish I would have clipped it, it was funny as gently caress.

e: I should mention I was banned after all his crusaders came in and answered the question for him, clearly defensive about such a question being asked, to which I asked him again. The mods were having none of that!

Hey full stop if someone from here actually is creeping on you/harassing you on facebook or whatever, please don't hesitate to call them out on it.

As much as /r/ds likes to talk about it, we actually really don't take kindly to that kind of thing here and will get that person sorted out in a jiffy.

Can't help you if it's a citizen though, those guys are loving nuts.

It's the usual Shitizen bollocks of course.

Deloria: You went and "locked" your Facebook because someone posted a link showing that you were a dude posing as an 18yr old Norwegian gurl.

Then, in the past 24hrs, you've been sending PMs here to some SA forum posters. At least one has had to turn off their PM because you're just "creepy"

The fact that you're now trying to play the victim, having been busted for what has now turned out to be a long-standing persona you created, just lends credence to the claims. In fact, I have an entire search history of all your posts here, and all the responses. With the exception of one or two ludicrous ones, most of them have been of the advisory type. Zero harassment, attacks, or doxing.

Plus, having been kicked out back in 2013, you chose to come back here. Nobody called for you. And had you not come here, we'd still be laughing at you nut jobs over on the RSI forums, even as we screen cap your bullshit for posterity, so we can keep on laughing even after our faces get sore from the hilarity.

This is your poo poo. Own it. Shut the gently caress up. And take it like a man. You're in our house now; and we don't have time for pandering to pussies around here.

Hehe, It is hard for me to enjoy a whole bottle of Laphroiag 10 if you know what I mean, but I can appreciate it occasionally. I like a hefty peat now and then. I can't remember if I have tried quarter cask, but the 10 yr cask strength is a bit more balanced IMO than the standard.

If they ever definitively say anything about a dozen different mechanics from pvp to insurance then star citizen implodes.

Every citizen has this dream of how the game is they've spent literally years debating and constructing off a few offhand remarks from devs. When that comes crashing down the scam is up.

Star Citizen won't survive its own existence.

Even if CIG got its poo poo together and pumped out content the alienation of everyone (each with a unique mix of gospel on how things will work) will kill the community in the cradle with all the controversy. Lack of community management is to blame here.
