So remember when I said it was going to be huge money wasted to have these streamers attend gamescon ?

Any streamer worth their dxracer chair knows being sponsored partnered or whatever other handle they use Means they get an appearance payment plus everything paid for

So you're looking at airfare, hotels, food, plus whatever they've demanded for an appearance fee

Unless of course they're all doing it for free because it's Chris Roberts and honestly it wouldn't even make me blink if that was the case

I still think you're looking at at least 20k per streamer just to have them shill live

But,

If the "majority" are silent, then how the gently caress does anyone know their opinion? :thunk:

For all those :reddit: numpties know, the silent majority are silent because they all got bored with CIG being poo poo and hosed off away from the bollocks that is SC ages ago. :shrug: Quick they are to assume the 'silent majority' are all as dumb as them.

I had to check just because they brought it up now; Breath of the Wild was ostensibly 4 years and $100 million. Croberts could have had nearly 2 fully fleshed AAA GOTY games at this point in both time and cost, if he wasn't a human dumpster fire when it comes to project management.

Croberts could have made THREE Horizon Zero Dawns with his pot of whale milk so far.

Yeah, meant the gamescom setup. But hey, they'll pull down 4 million in ship sales (if they open up others along with the concept) so I guess it is money well spent.

How should an alpha have a delta patcher? Then it would be a delta, wouldn't it? Checkmate.

I am not making this up, but I've just learned that they setup specific "slices" of the game; not the full build. They do NOT. I repeat, they do NOT have the full 3.0 game build currently on those systems being shown.
