Well I haven't paid attention in a while. The top end Castle de Autism is 7g now. gently caress it, might as well get in now before the SC collapse and all the whales run to this game and I have to buy it at twice the price from MoMA later. Who wants to be in my guild if I plop down the price of a used car on this castle fantasy land*?

This is sad.

Thank you CIG. This is what you will be remembered for. Inventing the "macro transaction" for stupid digital goods. Putting the unfinished game behind a tremendous paywall. And of course the huge disappointment of a project people sink thousands into going belly up with no way to recover your lost money.

I feel cynicism toward everything that is pitched to me now. Especially with the idea that every kickstarter is out to rape my wallet. I can't tell if it's because I'm a more active goon or because SC has left the bitter taste of CR's whale milk in my mouth. Please send help.

This is the fallout from CIGs amazing success story.

It will be hard to know if a project is a genuine project that will actually happen, or a cheap cash grab trying to "pull a Chris Roberts".

I hope that becomes a new verb for online scams related to gaming. I feel it would be a good service to remember him as the new father of video game project scams.

Even projects that are openly a MLM like Ashes of Creation are on the path to get more money than CIG did in their kickstarter. I hear you like scams, so we are adding a scam to your scam.

Those tanes are only showing some high level renders that any group of Savannah College of Art and Design rejects could pull off in a couple of days. The market here in Georgia is flooded with these graphic hacks since the state ramped up tax breaks to all digital media creators. I could drive up and down the street in front of SCAD and probably get enough people with the assets in their portfolio right now to pitch a game on KS and get a cool million.

wait... that really is probably true... brb...

Out of morbid curiosity at the 150 mil mark... when was the last patch and have they really done ANYTHING since 2.whatever?

Or do they just keep shoving the 3.0 list down the line another 2 weeks every... 2 weeks

Please Derek no... we cannot take much more.

Wait didn't one of the CS people post regarding the database smeg over all these unused CCU's , and he gave a very specific number of people holding the majority?

One would assume they're the concierge backers (IE the ones who just spent 500k apparently in one day) , with a few randoms owed to drunken idiocy or loss of reasoning due to head trauma, it should narrow things down

I'm sure a math sperg / wizard like Dr. Smart could easily determine if the sales numbers are bullshit or not... just extrapolate from the figures they've given

Unless you have Derek and I DO NOT APOLOGIZE for not reading another fuckin' missive

They're definitely trickling something else into the funding chart, that flat line at $40k for several days shows it. There's absolutely no way they had a steady $40k per day of new sales for 3-4 days in a row. Somebody could probably mathematically prove the chart is bullshit with a high level analysis including things like fractals and Benford's law.

Agreed.

We’ve made the decision to move our previously stated dates for Evocati, PTU, and Live back by a week. This is due to the complexity and volume of features we are working on for 3.0.0, and we would rather take a little extra time to bring everything up to the level we would want it to release in than trying to rush to complete at the expense of quality.

The delays are progressing very well.
