Yeah we've known for some time now that they have investors. Did you forget Bootcha also?

I thought Bootcha just bought in at the higher levels rather than being a private investor, if that's incorrect, then fine. I just can't shake the feeling there's more money in this than the crowdfund. Coutts still bothers me because it's kinda vertical. It's one of those outfits that works almost entirely on offshoring.

No, he was a bonafide investor. I also know of at least one other. There's a LOT more money in this than the bullshit in the funding chart.

:agreed: SC isn't going to blow up in some grand explosion, it is already dying a slow death and will just continue doing so until long after no one is paying attention anymore. The trickle of moron donations will keep the project going well beyond the attention span of anybody with reasonable expectation of an MVP.

This is easy to forget for those of us who frequent the forums and enjoy following this train wreck - SC has a much smaller footprint in the gaming community than its income levels would imply. Remember that in 2017 there are still people playing Istaria. Derek can attest that there are people playing Alganon. Those are the giants CIG is rubbing elbows against.

Especially because it wouldn't matter that they have a couple dedicated lunatics lurking this thread, they'd refuse to believe we were doing it just to gently caress with them. Hell, Derek could probably keep posting here every day about how he's purposely doing it to gently caress with them and they wouldn't believe it.

Honestly unless it's trains I can't get an autistic boner. Star Citizen I just have to punch myself in the junk to get going with. But in all seriousness I don't think there's a way to skew the data to be good, or else people wouldn't be picking at the "bias" of the commentary without explaining the good part of the data that's being allegedly skewed. "Here's what we promised" versus "Here's what you get" could have the history of ping pong written around it and it wouldn't change much considering how drastic the differences are.

Yup. In fact, the guys still playing Alganon are the reason I have it still running because they're paying the monthly server bills. We even get yelled at when the server croaks. :)

Star Citizen isn't even going to be like Wildstar. It's just going to disappear suddenly. No gradual burn at all. Mark my words.

More than Clifford could afford

And that's saying a lot since he's in over 40k deep at this point I think

And having private investors makes this whole thing even worse of a poo poo storm

Not only can they fail to produce anything of note with 150 million , but they probably have another 10 or more million not even tracked

Since some Shitizens have started that bullshit about how backers voted to increase the scope of the game back in 2013, I thought I'd pull this one out again.

Poll: Additional Stretch Goals

quote:

“That’s the third time you’ve posted the same link to the same poll, disregarding points raised that the poll data doesn’t show any consensus or agreement in any of the options, since not even a simple majority agrees on any one option despite each participant being allowed to select 3 options. Members of the active SC community were given 3 votes each and still failed to put any of the options above 40% support, which suggests that there is no majority support from the community for any of the expansion options.

If anything, giving people 3 choices each instead of 1 should have made it easier for any one option to hit 50%, but that still didn’t happen. All this shows is that CIG polled the community and then promptly disregarded the results, opting to proceed with their own plan instead, and certainly doesn’t support your assertion that the changes were voted and agreed upon by the community.”
