xanif posted:The hell is FUD? Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. A term originally coined by a formed IBM engineer who had started his own competing company, which IBM tried to combat by seeding exactly that among potential customers by suggesting that “yeah, that clone is neat, but you know, we'll be releasing [important IBM hardware or software update] soon, and it's quite possible that it won't be compatible any more, sooooo…”. Basically, a strategy of making a particular product pick less enticing by inventing a hypothetical risk based on some imagined future, thereby steering those customers towards your own “safe” alternative.

Tippis posted:Basically, a strategy of making a particular product pick less enticing by inventing a hypothetical risk based on some imagined future, thereby steering those customers towards your own “safe” alternative. To extend a little further, it was used a lot by the *nix crowd against the microsoft crowd because MS liked to do the same thing; 'open source has no value because nobody pays for it' was a common tactic, so it's become somewhat associated with the people that like to yell things about 'sheeple', too. The person using it is probably in their forties and has a grudge. Or is Richard Stallman. Or Eric Raymond.

 trying to defend the 5-10 planets thing by claiming that it doesn't matter because actually those planets will be "full scale" and so chock-full of content it makes up for them not fulfilling the 100 systems promise is the best thing. There is no way in hell they will ever be able to populate even a single realistically sized planet with enough content to make it a satisfactory experience. I would toxx for this but it's loving blindingly obvious to anyone who isn't dazzled by the crobber's hypnotic arm movements that this is an outlandish idea which will never, ever happen. It's hard to see how the fuckwits will even manage a single small empty planet you can land on, let alone one that is "full scale" and filled with actual gameplay. They haven't even been able to provide a decent amount of content for the couple of stations they've currently got.Percelus posted:my favorite are the star citizens who poo poo on elite dangerous for selling moderately priced purely cosmetic dlc because for some reason it's more egregious than a $16k completionist package that gives an ingame advantage cross posting from the ED thread Anticheese posted:Someone a few pages back asked something about how many Star Citizen ships the cost of all the Elite Dangerous cosmetics would buy.

Well, currently the server only handles up to 8 before it starts stretching out posts and jamming them inside other posts like a horrible Cronenberg machine, but we left the "max users" tab blank, so theoretically there's no limit!
