YOU claiming that "most people who agree with Derek's viewpoint cannot uphold basic levels of decency towards other posters" is vilifying, and picking a side against non-existent parties, even though you are the caretaker of the most toxic Star Citizen community in existence.

Your hypocrisy and bias are visible by the fact that you didn't say one single thing about the people who are, as this very moment, writing entire volumes of attacks in that Reddit. But you had time to comment on those guys who "cannot uphold basic levels of decency".

Should we have a discussion about "basic levels of decency"? I can compose a 50K word topic on why, as mod of that Reddit, and who has refused to enforce the rules, you don't seem to know what "decency" means. I would like to help you understand. Please spend 10 mins in each of these Reddit profiles and let me know if we should have that discussion, because I am all geared up to share decades of behavioral training and experience, and law enforcement with you

OldSchoolCmdr's post about Derek not having done anything notable is actually pretty good. I had honestly lost sight of that fact. Derek is a nobody, and all the infamy and power he has over CIG and their community is directly created by them. It's seriously crazy if you think about what is going on there. No wonder he thrives on it.

I had also forgotten about Chris Roberts' insane screed that he posted on the official website in his official capacity as CEO, officially stating he spent an entire workday responding to a blog by Derek Smart. Who the hell does that?

What the hell is wrong with these people?

It's funny, because by "an unhealthy obsession with graphic quality" they didn't mean they spent too much time trying to make things look good; it is Square, after all. They meant that they were obsessed about doing it the wrong way and when they cleaned up their act, this is the result:

Also VR is cancelled. CR can say whatever the gently caress he wants. You don't just 'add in' VR at a much later date years down the line.

The VR guy quit last year in his words "to go work on VR". You need 90+ FPS at all times to enjoy VR without vomiting. You need to develop all animations, interactions, etc with VR in mind. They aren't. A seamless FPS, Ship, menu experience in a giant MMO would be next to impossible right now even if they focused on this Day 1. They have explicitly said (and its 100% clear from what they show) they aren't doing this. Hell, even devs said "don't hold your breath".

I still don't get why backers use VR and Star Citizen in the same sentence. Same with modding and private servers. There is literally 0 indication they care or are doing anything about this.
They have even explicitly said on a number of occasions they don't give a poo poo about those features.

If (isAlpha == 1) { vrOn = 0; } else { vrOn = 1; }

You're forgetting how easy it is to layer all this code over these ideas.

Didn't they:
- already delay 3.0 (from their original and publicly stated estimate)
- delay the announcement for the announcement of the "new" schedule for 3.0
- delay the actual announcement for the schedule for 3.0
- announce a messy (and literally made by insane people) schedule with severely cut down features for a delayed 3.0
- proceed to add more delays and cut features from their poorly thought out schedule
?

Yep, 3.0 sure seems to be getting more perfect with all this incompetence these delays.

I gotta ask why they even showed it with the hosed up shelf only to show them fixing it, then. Not that it doesn't make the animation awful because no one takes things off of a shelf like that unless the box is made of styrofoam and has nothing in it.


That's not even the most hilarious slide. There's one where they talk about how there was a development emphasis on graphics without any thought to what they were trying to achieve or even what was reasonable that resulted in pot plant models that had a polycount equal to that of a Player Character's model. FFXIV 1.0 is a cautionary tale a lot of people miss in the amazing tale of rebirth that was A Realm Reborn.

Bug: Animation clips through solid object.
Fix: Fix animation.

Bug: Graphic text backwards on mirrored objects.
Fix: Fix graphics.

Bug: Ring of space station randomly connects to objects and spins wildly out of control.
Fix: ???

Bug: Space mans stand through ships after activating them.
Fix: ???

Now between these four bugs, which would you show your company as valiantly fixing because you are totally on the ball?

A normal company might target the non-graphical bugs to fix, because those directly affect gameplay and the experience.

But you're CIG, and your strongest talent is your graphics department. So you're going to make a 40 minute video of fixing an animation or flipping the mapping on an object to make the words straight again. Because these are the easy options (not saying making tons of graphics is easy, just that it's easier to fix a model or animation than it is to fix a core-level programming bug).

And probably the best part of the animation bug is that it's not even in the game yet. It's just some Maya level bullshit, or maybe even a CryEditor level. There's no programming behind a character picking up or placing a box anywhere. It's just a ridiculous animation separated from everything.
