Ursine Catastrophe posted:Just as long as we're on the same page about which version is the proper version  I saw them in concert a few years ago, and they were every bit as absurd and incredible as I had hoped. Three Finnish cellists sitting in giant stainless steel thrones (featuring backrests in the shape of skulls/cellos), madly headbanging while playing Metallica covers and "Hall of the Mountain King". In the audience, metal fans madly cheering these classically-trained musicians, interspersed with a few chamber music fans who were slowly realizing that they might have misunderstood the nature of the show. In a year that saw Donald "Dementia" Trump become president and Chris Roberts sell JPEGs of actual (virtual) dirt for $50-$100, it's good to remember that this universe also, rarely, produces something as dumbly awesome as Apocalyptica. It doesn't explain why most of existence is utter bullshit, but it does make it a little more bearable.

I adore their cover of Nothing Else Matters. Man they've been around forever and a day. Bless them. The concept doesn't always pay out but when it does it pays out big. Regardless of how well their work translates they're just so delightfully weird and cool.

I also loved NINs work on Quake and the work they did for Doom 3 (which had to be removed, sadly, but of course is out there...) Combichrist is such an awesome band. LaPlegua also married the ex-girlfriend of Rammstein frontman Til Lindemann, who by the way was the best man for his own ex-wife when Rammstein's guitar guy Richard Krupse married her. How hosed up is that? Oh, and Doom VFR; my body is ready

How hosed up is that? Rammstein were always immense fun, although I walked away from metal when it went 'nu' and keep banging on how everything turned poo poo when Dio died. Then there's the single most important metal band in the history of the world; MAN'O'WAR  Other bands may aspire, but there is only one MAN'O'WAR.  It's okay to feel a little intimidated. They rock harder than you. Hav fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Nov 30, 2017 |

Jobbo_Fett posted:Ah but in the Chris Roberts letter to the fandom at the start of this whole shindig he promised to treat YOU, THE CUSTOMER as the publisher and also to release their financials should they go past a certain timeframe which was reach a long time ago. But, he actually IS treating the CUSTOMERS like the PUBLISHER. His last publisher was Microsoft: whom he cheated, misled, funneled money to his close friends, lied about the projects and the real state they were in, and made a million promises that never materialized. So, essentially Chris is totally in the clear here. Star Citizen is right on target. Star citizen is good.

helloquote:The costs come in for the servers, the projected costs, if we do go ahead and release into beta next year [2018]. I don't know specifics but I know it's a lot. There's been some ask for how we continue to pay for that upkeep since the original deal fell through. quote:Most of us feel subscription costs are the only way. There's no possible other way to keep the lights on here. I know a lot of our backers will be upset but, again, that's the nature of game development. Things change. Plans change. How can we cover support for a live game that requires hardware and software solutions still being developed? When the multiplayer blocks are still being built? There's no other way, at least none that I can see.
quote:Prices are being still being discussed.
quote:Additionally, the more accounts you have with a certain level of status grant bonuses to credit production (?? no elaboration here) and your mission queue (?? or here).

TheAgent posted:Most of us feel subscription costs are the only way. *cums* if NN really goes against the wall, even their estimates will be off, and they're talking about fcking subscriptions. Why the gently caress aren't they coupling this with their ingame currnecy? Eve showed that path years ago to kill the currency market and it stimulated a whole different gameplay mechanism around the plex market. The answer, of course, is normalized deviance. Who is speaking truth to power? Who is the devil's advocate? Who is telling them that they need their backers more than ever to get them through to post-release? Nobody! It's a cult of personality where anyone who doesn't tow the line is sidelined because they don't understand the (rapidly evolving) vision.

Please enjoy paying $15/month so you can use your $850 ship to build on your $100 plot of land. Because really you just haven't given CIG enough money yet.
