big nipples big life posted:What the gently caress does getting a refund have to do with social justice? Its the old conflating unrelated things for no reason at all gambit. I'm just surprised he didn't call the refunders cucks as well. A missed opportunity there! He totally misses the point as well. I'm sure most refunders knew there would be a risk of non-delivery of what was promised at the time they backed. I presume most backers didn't expect the risk of lies, deception, endlessly shifting goals, and the need for more and more money.

Although there are a few smug assholes who like to tout the line that people are pissed because they're "risk-averse", the reality is that nearly everyone who backed knew there was a risk of non-delivery. That was never in question - I always knew my own money could be gone with nothing to show. What I didn't expect, like you outlined, was the incredible ineptitude and dishonesty as this sham of a project devolved.

The Titanic posted:This stuff is not new ground. This stuff is what most big dollar engines come built in with as a tutorial. This isn't where you want to be right now after 6 years in your space ship game about space ships. The thing that cracks me up is that the people who participated in that race event probably had more fun doing it, than they ever had flying their space charriots in the past 6 years. Think about it.

Milky Moor posted:come on Skadden, tell us how much CIG is spending on 'influencers' and astroturfing I'd be curious to know if it costs more to get hostile grade support. Like when you weaponize your marketing strategy, how much does that cost in difference to somebody who just goes around to websites randomly saying "boy I sure do love ___! Let me tell you about it!" Like that Boo Huxley character.

Nyast posted:The thing that cracks me up is that the people who participated in that race event probably had more fun doing it, than they ever had flying their space charriots in the past 6 years. Think about it. I believe it. I've said it before but I'll reiterate it again: I'm pretty sure the best parts of SC will not be the space game. The space game is hard and CIG no longer has the talent to pull it off well. We're going to see more and more third/first person FPS stuff and more junk there as time marches forwards. If I can do it outside of being in control of a space ship, it'll be a big focus. Stuff like these cars is great too, because as mentioned there are tons of tutorials out there. Anything art related too, as always. Making a model is a ton easier than integrating that model into a video game that interacts with stuff around it. The time for CIG to break new ground is over. Now it's time for them to show us how well they can re-skin the basics with an new coat of shaders and 1M polygon models.

Beet Wagon posted:In other news, I just got my Battletech key, making Star Citizen the only crowdfunded project that has hosed me to date. I have 2 or 3 failed kickstarters on my backing record, depending on whether or not that spiritual sequel to Space Quest has come out or failed yet. I'm not sure I even care to look at this point  fake edit: Apparently, it's not out yet but they are still posting updates 5 years after the estimated shipping date, so who even knows for sure

35 Years Of Influence – A Look Back at Origin Systems, Creators of Ultima and Morequote:With the Ultima games becoming progressively bigger and more complex, Origin also began to pivot to other genres and niches. It was at this time that Chris Roberts joined the company and directed the RPGs Times of Lore and Bad Blood, which became mere footnotes to the 1990 release that defined the company’s identity as much as Ultima… Wing Commander. There were space combat simulation games before Wing Commander, but it raised the bar for the whole industry in terms of production value and realistic simulation.

Thinking Wing Commander is a realistic simulation of space flight is akin to thinking Moon Buggy is a realistic simulation of the Apollo missions.

You mean Moon Buggy isn't historically accurate? Dammit, tooterfish! Why do you have to destroy my childhood? (As a side note...Gabe Newell was never exactly svelte but god drat has he let himself go since 1999. I mean, I'm always fighting middle-aged spread but that man is heading for Type-II-Diabeetus-Land.)

I'd say damnit, because i had a friend raving about crypto back in 2002-ish, and i said, meh. If i had got into it back then, i'm pretty sure my investment would have multiplied and by 2003 i'd have blown my profits on a pizza. Such a lost opportunity.
