It's pretty indicative of how bad things are. The_Smokey_Bandit has basically admitted that things are hosed at CIG, but in spite of their constant failures he still wants to believe and get what he paid for. He's on the edge and could be brought back, but CIG doesn't have anything to show (nor will they anytime soon) and another disappointment or two will likely lead to him losing faith and ultimately demanding a refund (that he likely won't get). It's a fascinating phenomena and I seriously hope someone is closely studying this as a case study in group psychology. I can drat well near guarantee you that there's at least a few marketing firms following this thing closely to see what the gently caress got people to collectively spend $141M and individually up to tens of thousands of dollars into an unsubstantiated dream.

The response when more and more people lose faith is going to be even more interesting. Some folks will just shrug and move one. Others (like me) will watch the whole thing burn, and then of course there's the subset of folks who might get violent or self-harm. I hope that subset doesn't exist, but you don't scam hundreds of thousands of people without getting a few outliers.

angry isolated unadjusted nerds autists. there will be blood. think miku will take it easy or wulge? They have their names attached to the project. And all those I stand with sandi bs or the twatter sc logos.

Not only the devs attached the game careers over but most likely the top fans as well because of the association costs involved. 32k+ into a game that scammed you.

What are the odds Chris & co. can continue to string along the backers for another three years and $130M, then actually release a decent game (albeit very different from that which was originally conceived)?

What would it take for them to actually pull it off at this stage, as impossible as that seems? I just can't wrap my head around why somebody would think it can be done.

Well, Dr. Derek did say that there was no way this could be done with less than 150m. We're 9 million away from having a viable budget for an ambitious project.

Agreed. All that's left is to get that $150 million away from Chris Roberts and into the hands of a competent game developer.

I sure hope they didn't spend too much of it yet.

Detecting cheaters isn't the hard part, it is not getting false positives. Cheat makers disguise their programs to match normal software as much as possible. So when Blizzard or Valve get a software detection it always flags a hell of a lot of legitimate users. And sorting through that is the slow tedious part.

Don't worry though, CIG has a foolproof way to sort through all the false positives and rage reports they're going to get - look at some video and then probably flip a coin or something maybe.

It's innovative/never been done before/groundbreaking!

And maybe only applies if they do just a space sim. The first person universe isn't really working out for them. But it's at least we have star marine, which has already been rolled into the game. Now all they have to do is layer more code on top and it's going to make fps games great again.
