Imagine being owned by a game developer so bad that you think a joke about how people shouldn't bitch about the game is some kind of goon masterstroke. e:

Star Citizen is like a bubble, with absolutely no value (since there's no game). People buy into it thinking their "investment" will net them good profit when the game is out thinking that this is EVE Online. As a skeptic to BTC and crypto, I can see similarities and the tear harvest has never been better. Hold on to your ships Citizen! CR will ensure that you get your profits!

trucutru posted:In that xxSilentRuinxx thread that was posted a few days ago where he was defending the insurance countdown timers and why CIG shouldn't change them, one of his arguments was that you should inform yourself about the bugs to clone ships so that you don't get bothered by the timer. I was trying to understand their argument, and then it finally clicked that they wanted CIG to turn the ship dupe bug into a feature rather than reduce the respawn timers. The cultists are so poisoned that they think asking for the timers to be temporarily reduced while there are serious spawn bugs is tantamount to a fundamental compromise on the vision. Love when community members turn on each other for requesting a simple quality of life improvement that would also assist in testing the game.

Beet Wagon posted:Re: insurance stuff, apparently if you're waiting our an insurance times in the PU you also can't use that ship in a different module like Arena Commando. Also I believe there was a bug wherein you in fact could permanently lose your chariot if you hosed up the insurance thingy and you were supposed to contact CS to get it added back to your account. You probably mistakenly thought you could just click the button really fast out if boredom. Unfortunately that button is directly connected to the database, and somehow you removed the ship from your table entry because it’s just that solid of coding.

Love when community members turn on each other for requesting a simple quality of life improvement that would also assist in testing the game. Yeah, that's more or less it. The argument is that all the stuff that CIG designs is good/perfect. Therefore them changing some mechanic would mean that it wasn't good/perfect and they cannot have that. Instead, take advantage of bugs, since those are unintended and you won't blemish CIGs honor by using them. They don't really want to make the dupe bug a feature, because in the future, when everything is perfect, they won't be required. But right now it allows them to sidestep the horrible timer mechanics without having to admit that they are horrible. win-win.

I'm gonna go on a limb and guess that people with a lot of ships don't want people who do not have a lot of ships to enjoy the same luxury of not being unable to play due to your ship spawning without a chair. My brain tells me it's a phase of the "I bought an Idris so that people would serve under me" appeal scheme that's going on.

So about the lambda code. My understanding is that video games are giant state machines. Is using some sort of random code that throws something asynchronous into a state machine a good idea? I’m assuming the lambda isn’t actually trying to execute anything but just logging an activity for the next tick? I use lambda and asynchronous stuff for different things, mostly throwing stuff into queues or tables to be picked up by monitoring systems, or used as callbacks from different web calls to external apis. I can’t wrap my mind around an asynchronous game engine, but maybe this is now how it’s done instead of using some sort of action manager that handles actions logged per tick? Y’all can educate me on how wrong I am.

What's the betting pool on which publisher is going to bail out Chris this time? EA would love to have CIG due to the fact that the game comes complete with monetized systems and an audience that is willing to continue paying, Microsoft managed to turn his last poo poo show into a game that was worth playing and could probably spin it as an xbox exclusive IP, or maybe Tencent would pick it up to run it in the chinese market along with PUBG.

Star Citizen has no IP, it's a smattering of Wing Commander homage and space Rome. It's also married to 170 million in promises and precious little chance of making that back. EA already owns Wing Commander and they're busy lovely out Star Wars. Microsoft owns Freelancer and they thought that buying Minecraft was a better use of their money than entertaining CR. No one else cared enough in the first place to pick up the idea. In the end it's going to be Bootcha vs Gremlich vs Derek fighting for the rights at a police auction.

The CryTech suit (if not dismissed) will probably end in an out of court settlement and being that it's skadden prosecuting, that settlement won't be anything lower than the $10 million mark. The couttes loan hasn't been repaid (at least to my knowledge). Estimated financial burn rate is hovering around the $3 million mark a month and that rate is based off industry pay rates for employees, so not really including much of the property and infrastructure costs as well as the bonuses for the top tier personnel (the backers will never know). Also while backer funding can have some upward spikes, as a general rule it is slipping with each successive year. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it won't be a case of a publisher desperate to buy them out, it will be Chris desperate to sell.

That's the kind of fleecing that makes venture capitalists rub with dry sandpaper these days. Maybe I'm trying to think too much because I finally caught up after a few months.
