Progress is usually better understood through seeing the scrum board, like this;

https://trello.com/b/KbugnSRJ/subnautica-roadmap

Each card is a task and they're using the lanes to indicate the release that they're shooting for. it's not a customer facing tool that only provides surface detail, but something that allows visibility into the development of the game in the near, mid and longterm. This is pretty much the gold standard of transparency in development. The light purges all doubt.

SC uses updates to create buzz, and as such they're a marketing tool, because it's a Ponzi scheme that is surviving on the new money to allow the things that the old money bought to be built. Utterly Flarpy.

has anyone ever attempted to make a reddit post asking for CIG to do something similar?
I'm sure the shitizens would be all over it, most open development ever etc.

That's honestly just your uninformed opinion. You've clearly had a bad customer experience with CIG and its coloring your """"analysis"""" of the project. Look at what you posted, it clearly assumes so many things including what the motives of CIG are and whether or not we are in a dunkin donuts drivethrough. I'll try to parse through the rest of it but I can see you called Chris a fraud. Something so laughably and demonstrably wrong I won't even dignify it with a rebuttal. 300+ employees man.

Ad hominem isn't a real defense, and the number of employees is not proof of legitimacy. At its peak Theranos had around 850 employees. Back in October they fired about as many people has CIG has working for them, and this month they're laying off the rough equivalent of every CIG employee outside of Manchester. Having twice as many employees as CIG didn't make Elizabeth Holmes any less of a fraud.

SC is clearly Agile. We get constant updates, buildwise and information wise on a near daily basis. A project like SC is going to take a long time to iterate to the final product to be sure. But to say this isn't Agile is really ignorant about what is being released on this project on a regular basis.

If SC was agile, they would deliver many vertical slices with minimal feature changes that were Stable and On Time. So far CIG has done exactly the opposite.

lol It's never going to court and the financials will never be public. This is how it's going to end: They will run out of money, Chris will say "Welp we tried but it was just too ambitious and we faced constant antagonism from the (haters/media/big publishing), sorry." and then he and Sandi ride off into the sunset in matching limited edition 911s.

I now see that rather than a Challenger-esque CATO for us to warm our hands by, SC is more like Columbia on a long slow atmospheric descent, gradually disintegrating and more sad than shocking.

I think I have the proof I need. The person I represent has had his business financially damaged with your slander and its very possible there will be very real consequences. I'd be careful in the future bandying about accusations of fraud.
