Yes, but they are digging down deeper with each updates, while SC has spend 4 years and half its budget looking for the shovel and asking for more money.

It is not without faults. At worst it is a very solid foundation that is being expanded upon by a competent Dev team.

They've splintered a dwindling forum population with this and at the same time splintered a dwindling player base with regional servers, I can't fathom why they couldn't see this coming. If you look at something high profile like WoW with cross realm zones, they strive to bring players together. CIG are creating a long term tumbleweed scenario from scratch, it's the strangest thing.

It's almost like they're splintering and disabling avenues of communication so nobody can talk about it easily; good or bad.

In my opinion, you'd want to do that when you're ready for something to go away.

Prepping for the MVP and the inevitable "This was my vision all along!" speech from Chris Roberts before he speeds off in a custom Porsche leaving the people who got him that far in the dust. Hollywood here he comes!

I am also mad today but for different reasons

I guess it's because I've seen projects like this so many times, headed by people making outrageous sums of money, producing nothing, forcing misery and terror on their employees, making people miss holidays and vacations and family time and lives, the actual lives they should be living

all in pursuit of some unobtainable goal that they think possible only if people believed more, gave more and worked harder, while the top levels take holidays and smirk at how much they have accomplished

star citizen, for me, isn't about some dumb space game taking money from people. it's about companies and businesses who do this poo poo all the time, who actively make employees suffer to squeak out mediocrity at a faster rate, take all the profits from the word go and leave a wasteland of failure and suffering behind

it still happens. this isn't unique to the 90s corporate culture. I work for people who absolutely do not give a poo poo about anything except the dollar on some spreadsheet. these are organizations that should be helping people, that have vast, immeasurable resources that could save hundreds of thousands of lives or improve countless others. instead they gently caress over whoever they can, sometimes for little or no gain whatsoever, just because they can. because they are that powerful, that immense, that nothing can touch them

its all very liberal-bleeding-heart-tree-hugging-faggotry, because somehow caring about people makes you weak for some reason

and sure I get plenty of laughs here but I've been through crunches where I didn't leave the office for 50+ hours. where I had to take cabs home because the lack of sleep made me hallucinate people were walking in front of the road. where when you finally came back, the guy up top who had been on vacation for 3 weeks in fiji asked why you weren't at your desk working. where the people making the biggest amount of money did absolutely nothing but come up with ideas for other people to implement in a sane and working fashion

to sum up, gently caress chris roberts and those at the top making millions while death marching everyone into the deepest pit of despair imaginable

gently caress you, Chris. gently caress you.

No lives matter

Why does everything in every star citizen screenshot glow like it's made out of mirrors and being bathed in radiation from a star just out of view?

About the time Chris Roberts got out of gaming, bloom and colored lights were just starting to piss people off. He was gone by the time it was determined that bloom is like coating stuff in semen.

But it's also Chris Roberts, so he probably demands a fidelicious semen filter and huge glows on everything because that's what stuff in reality does. It glows when in the light.

Hellion is so advanced that they've removed their tutorial without their community having to campaign for six months. Truly, Chris Roberts has shown the way.

This. This is what is most upsetting. It's not the reddit screen caps, not the ship sales, the abysmal gameplay, awkward streams, or untold list of empty promises. It's that men and women are spending massive amounts of hours on a project that is ever changing and will end with them being hurt for it. They're the ones that, when this project is done, are laid off. They're the ones that show up to work and find out they're not getting paid for their time. They're the ones that invest their life into someone else's dream that that person won't spend more than half a day working on.

The sub-reddits, forums, twitters, and streams are dumb poo poo. If that's seriously the part that angers you about all this, then you should probably reinvest back into this cluster gently caress.

Now if you'll excuse me, I got a pupper to play with.
