The funny thing is if the 3.0 rumor is true you will be technically wrong because they'll skip 2.6

When 2.6 release slips from this year they will post a road to 2.6 video on the holiday stream where they will try to pitty train you into accepting that waiting till next year is the best thing because think about all those poor overworked people at CIG they deserve good holidays too, while chris goes back to Hawaii to spend christmas and the new year down there in the nice warm weather.

Why do you keep faith in Chris Roberts?

I mean, the only good game he has his name on is Freelancer and that had to be salvaged by Microsoft of all lovely companies at the time. And it was good IN SPITE of him. He's a literal Manthumb with no cognizant understanding of how to make a good game. Or a game at all rather.

I totally think they'll ship 2.6 this year to the PTU at least. I mean why not, the idiots still giving them money in 2016 will celebrate anything that looks like progress and it's a good excuse for a sale.

So which is it, because you started with "I never said that," to finish with "Technically I'm not wrong" after being quoted showing you said 2.6 is coming this year, Man of Many Answers?

Also, remember when 3.0 was the precedent for the end of the year, and here we are, with a huge content inclusion of get this guys: A pirate station, a couple of ships, and (maybe) an fps shooter. For a company of almost 400, holy gently caress, how do you not look at this and just be embarrassed?

I'm sure they called it "needless" because these complex transactions don't serve any strictly necessary business purpose. There's 4 reasons I can think of to do this poo poo: masking accounting irregularities, evading taxes, shielding assets from liabilities, and artificially inflating liquidity ratios.

Funny, I said similar in my recent scoop post

Reminder nearly half a year ago CIG was going on about how they might even get 2.6 ready for gamescom because according to them 2.5 was going to have a quick turnover on their testing. Not only did that never pan out, it looks like theyw ont even get 2.6 out on live this year.

And what happened, then? Well, in Santa Monica they say – that the Crobert's wallet grew three sizes that day. And then – the true meaning of Star Citizen came through, and the Croberts found the strength of ten companies, plus two!

Well he's part of CIG's marketing arm so I'm not surprised his ideas are terrible. I doubt they're his.

Isn't he a lifelong marketing guru and online social media wrangler? I bet they're his idea. He's pulling the "us us us" card that seems to work so well with CIG and other cults. Of course pandering to the community to do the work for him is great too. It worked once!

CIG is like a magnet that attracts the worst kind of everything. It's the Stimpire of multinational corporations.

What prevents them from just releasing 2.6 to live as is? It's pre-pre alpha anyway. SM is it's own module ready for pre alpha alpha testing which is all those testers are there to do anyway. PU not really as affected worse than it already is. It's not like it's being released to a live game with a hostile audience.
