I can't wrap my mind around the idea that Bezos spent tens of millions on CryEngine. Didn't he realize he could go to CryTek's website and download it for free?

Spiderdrake posted:I dunno Toops but it feels like your experience with Elite was more like a protracted bathroom experience than the taste of oblivion Protracted bathroom experiences are the only respite I get from the madding crowd. Elite is like walking into a quiet, empty workplace restroom, settling into a stall, breathing a sigh of relief, then some idiot throws open the door, shuffles quickly into the stall next to yours with your inner monologue going “No no no no no no no” and proceeds to have explosive, groaning diarrhea. Nothing to do but pull them trousers back up, exit, and try again later when maybe it’s not so poo poo. But it’s never not so poo poo. It’s horrible. Ever has it been, and so ever shall it be.

It's time for a 2.6.3 leaderboard update, Skadden edition! Here we compare the leaderboards between December 13 ~17:30 and December 16 ~06:30 (both times UTC). Usually I like to use a longer baseline for comparison, but oh well. Another caveat is that more of the hardcore users are probably playing 3.0 PTU, which doesn't show up on the 2.6.3 leaderboards. With that said... Average concurrent player count... ...for Star Marine: 7.5 ...for Arena Commander: 12.6 ...for racing: 2.2 ...for all EA modules (does not include the PU): 22.2

XK posted:Yeah, that would be the other side of it. They can't use CryEngine anymore, can use Lumberyard, but all rights to any code developed while on CryEngine has to be handed over to CryTek, and CIG has to start over from scratch with off-the-shelf Lumberyard. Ah that's not that bad. They barely have begun development at this point anyway. So they won't loose much.

Toops posted:Have you ever laid down in bed, closed your eyes, and then teleported to the morning? Being dead feels exactly like that part you missed, and by induction, so does Elite. By technicality we die whenever we sleep. What wakes up is a new mind entirely, an imposter living with all the memories of the bodies past experiences. Keep in mind that our consciousness is merely a product of electrical activity in the brain while we are awake. Those processes stop when you sleep. Therefor you die when you sleep and a new being takes your place with your memories and thoughts. A perfect imposter that doesnt even realize it.

grayheadedgamer has a brand new computer that doesn't even have steam installed. He's been trying to stream Star Citizen for the last 30mins but it crashes immediately. It's pretty sad watching these guy play all these mind games on themselves, "oh maybe if I restart without quickboot!", "It's crashing in RAM because your RAM is bad!"

Not sure if last part was serious, but if you're putting together a new machine you should buy a backup brand of ram with the plan of sending it back. Every system I've ever put together the first set of ram never works. (Buying the second set confuses the pantheon of cats that rule us all and forces the first set of ram to work) Crazypoops fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Dec 16, 2017 |

all caught up, read (almost) every post as usual, hilarious as always although a lot of people itt need to stop the circlejerk of lengthy speculative posts that nobody reads, it's cringy as gently caress and makes it harder to keep up with the actually interesting news and conversations (cig gently caress-ups, code insights, etc.) thanks bye

It's kind of like an acid trip - just close your eyes and follow the citizens through the stars I mean, seriously though, we make fun of these chucklefucks all day long when they truly deserve it, but stuff like this is beyond belief. And to think that almost ONE HUNDRED loving CLOWNS upvoted that.  I mean, they have a loving broken game, in a broken engine, but yeah, CIG totally has the capability to develop code and pass it to AMZ. Not to mention that the entire Lumberyard Git repository is online and accessible, giving everyone a clear view of WHAT THE HOLY gently caress IS IN IT AND FROM WHOM!! ----------------

Ursine Catastrophe posted:Presumably discovery would include auditing the source code regardless; a line by line diff would be an uphill battle but "they were so lazy and complacent that they didn't even bother to change the copyright headers" would likely be cut and dry, if lumberyard has different ones You’re still explaining source code to the public and there are innocuous ways that it could happen. What i’m saying is that they have Crobbers incriminating himself, in his own words, about breaching the contract. They don’t need anything else. The risk in the jury trial is the jury. The easier the case is to explain, the better that it is. I’m even expecting a motion to summary judgement if they don’t come back with a reasonable defence, depending on the amount that they’re seeking.

Promises! - No publishers. - The crowdfunded money are way better utilized - Shorter development time - No focus on bogus demos for big gaming conferences - Delivery on (2) games within 2-3 years, otherwise things become stale Reality: - partnerships with (at the least) Amazon, Intel, AMD, and arguably Crytek who provided additional funds. Signed contracts have started to backfire. - Development hell, investments on 3rd parties that were commissioned to do work were thrown to the fire pit, numerous companies started all around the world for no apparent reason. Backers are expected to keep funding at a regular basis to get "the better experience possible". - Five to six years in development, still in pre-alpha, non-existent gameplay loop. - Plenty of bogus demos, unrelated to whatever turds they actually "release". Marketing tactics that are way past borderline sleazy. - Backers get to play the broken pre-alpha demo, which is laggy, buggy, crashy and choppy as hell and on top of that they are segmented in tiers of Avocados, Subscribers and plebs who still don't get to play the 3.0 pre-alpha. Feature creep is out of control. This is all good for Star Citizen because at least CIG tries, Crobblz is a genious and, most importantly, DREAMS.
