Apparently MS has killed Scalebound, which was an anticipated exclusive, because it was missing deadlines or performance targets or something.

http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/scalebound-made-unachievable-by-microsoft-shady-contract-work-say-sources-38897


I wonder how long ago SC would've been killed by them.

Probably six or so years ago when Chris Roberts tried to shill it to major publishers and they laughed at him so hard he had to go prey on the weepy and depressed of Kickstarter.

Imagine that they probably said "This is an ambitious title for an unskilled team you don't have yet." back when it was without even its first stretch goal.

Now though, it's basically "Oh, everything in the Matrix except it's also all over the whole universe!" and naturally people think 'that sounds doable! Because nobody ever had this idea before!' except for every middle school kid ever. Fortunately though most of them grow up. Others though.. well they still play space ships with their hands and pretend they can do everything so long as their idea is really good, dreaming of someday working on games as an 'ideas guy/girl'.

Unfortunately for CIG, Chris Roberts is the middle school kid who never grew up, and has blown millions of dollars. But a least he gave himself back pay and a hefty salary fit for a Saudi Arabian oil tycoons right hand CEO. Good job, guys! Mission accomplished! :downs:

Is this guy talking about what Elite did back 20 years ago in Frontiers?

Or what NMS or Elite Dangerous did more recently, or other real games?

Or does he mean the faked video CIG released to pretend to have progress in programming when their only real progress is they had artists make a cutscene?

Because it's all funny because CIG hasn't got the talent that Frontier did 20 years ago. Or whenever it was. Probably longer.

Just because companies that actually have capable people can do something, and Chris comes in and says, "Er.. uh.. us too! Only better-er!" doesn't actually mean that they have it, can do it, or even have an inkling of an idea on how to do it. It's constant and endless me-too with absolute zero follow up. Someday some smart backer will realize that maybe. :shrug:

Fun Shoe
So - True story: I got early access to Escape from Tarkov (an FPS in alpha) and started playing with some people. Two things:

1: Its a Real Playable Game and its lots of fun even if it is still in alpha and a little buggy, but the main mechanics of the game are there and solid. Very solid.

2: Two of the peeps I was playing with are Star Shitizens. It was awkward - in the end I didn't want to get all evangelical and full Goon on them so I just said that I had got a refund and got out and that I didn't think the game would ever be released as promised. It's interesting to me that outside of SA and the CIG cultist bubble that there are people who are utterly unaware that this game is a train wreck. They still think Crobbles will produce the goods. I suspect that there are a lot of citizens who are like this, and it goes (to my mind at least) some way to explaining why CIG are still generating money. Despite the noise from SA, Dereck and pissed off ex-cultists there are still a hell of a lot of people who are assuming that the game will be made, released and good.

:negative:
