Should have a mod challenge of dual toxx clauses. MOMA getting toxxed if Derek can get 64 concurrent players in an instance in his new game, and toxx Derek for not being able to deliver said 64 players in a concurrent instance in his new game. Two week time frame. My money is on even if Derek manages to get the code working he won't even be able to get 63 other people to play with him.

Milky Moor posted:Not that it's really that surprising if you were, like me, involved in sci-fi communities in the late 90s/early 00s. Every group was fiercely fighting every other group. The Big Three fight was a melee between the Trekkies VS Warsies VS Fivers (and there was often fierce sectarian violence within those groups -- Kirk or Picard, Sinclair or Sheridan??). The flight sim rivalries were just an extension of that, and Wing Commander had some very devoted fans in those days. Wing Commander had a lot of games with big name actors and was basically a big Hollywood movie series. In comparison, Freespace wasn't as obviously 'good' and was practically dehumanising and depersonalising in its grim narrative. And FS2 does sort of have the dubious distinction of being one of the last flight sims ever released as well as being the best. Lesnick went a step further by, through sheer bloody-minded autistic devotion, becoming the leader of the organized WC fandom and expelling anyone who disagreed with his views.

After the Gamescom sale ends, the patch will be pulled for "further bugfixing and polish before going to the general PTU". Then the "weeks, not months" can begin.

This feels like the Real Life version of scamming pubbies that want to get into GoonSwarm in Eve Online. 1) Build this big dream of paradise and how great it is to be part of it 2) Offer people a taste ~for a fee~ 3) Drag out the admittance process by claiming that the pubbie is a spy 4) Suggest that ~another fee~ would be a game changer and expedite their admission process 5) Tell them that they are being invited but never actually invite them 6) Have them bring all their stuff to somewhere convenient for us 7) "Accidentally" gently caress them over and take or blow up all their stuff 8) Repeat step 4) indefinitely 9) Most importantly- never, ever, admit that it is a scam. This is an actual scamming playbook that goons use CR is either the most genius goon ever or a pubbie sunk by this scam and seeking space revenge

He's like one of those kids who can reproduce every detail of downtown Rome in pencil after one fly-by in a helicopter, but he doesn't understand what a building is because all objects are just lines to him, he can't read or write, and screams and hits himself in the head if his lunch does not contain bananas. CR is like this, but for scamming.

The "game changer" is a very appropriate name considering how they have been pivoting the game from a space sim game to an early access survival game.

Maybe by 'game changer' they mean if it sells well enough it will stave off the immediate financial burdens that would otherwise kill the 'game'.

I'm sure the new game changer ship will somehow introduce and include a new game mechanic or previously unheard of before stretch goal ... thereby pushing back development by another few months while they include it into the game

A way for players to get used to moving in 3d space.
