I like how he claims someone can be wrong for having an opinion.

He says Sid is wrong for saying it seems like development has gone stale. How can Sid be wrong for saying to him it looks stale? It doesn't matter what CIG are and are not doing, he's saying to his eyes it looks stale.

It's due to the nature of the project. It's a perfect storm of delusion from all parties and enough time to let poo poo really get going. It's now a faith based cult revolving around the impossible lies of a fool that was never going to deliver on his promises.

Like, sure, you'll have some mentally ill people slinging death threats if the Smash Brothers logo doesn't look right to them, but the Smash community hasn't spent a half decade developing a literal religion based around how this logo is supposed to look.

All of this backer rationalization about how other communities send death threats or how it's not all backers sending death threats or how not every death threat is from a backer is the same kind of lunatic tier rationalization they use to argue that the game isn't pay to win or that two years of zero progress is actually the maximum possible amount of progress. It's what they want to believe.

I mean they are still proud that Ben Lesnick banned sexual harassment victims from the forums for complaining about the whales that were sexually harassing them. The efforts to attack and threaten anyone critical of the game have been going on almost since the beginning so it's extremely rich that they want to act like this is somehow a new and isolated incident that doesn't reflect badly on the community in any way.

I loving hate Montoya and his :smuggo: attitude about being a cultist

Also I like how he responds to SidAlpha saying the game is only ships by saying 'look, you can see how they're progressing on ships'

And then he goes 'uh also stuff like bind culling'

Somehow bind culling is going to give us piracy mechanics, trade mechanics, farming mechanics, etc. etc. etc. lmao seriously Montoya

"There are 400 employees and only 20 work on ships" Okay now that's flat out bullshit.

No, actually, the beginning was "you give us X and we make the game", selling ships came later buddy.

LMAO Montoya cites GTA5 of all things to argue that games make more money from game sales than from DLC. "The notion they make more money by selling ships is complete nonsense! GTA made $1B in sales in the first 3 days!"

Rockstar has made poo poo tons of money from GTA Online microtransactions, over $500 Million. And the game wasn't even originally designed for them. That's why all development post release went into GTA Online and there was ZERO single player DLC unlike the past GTA games. If they had designed it better to focus on GTA Online they could have made more from microtransactions than game sales, which is what we should expect from GTA6.

It's also funny they want to act like all of the death, rape and general threats are a result of "THEM" that want to discredit the game and destroy it. They are talking about goons and the mythology they've constructed where goons criticizing the development means we are the worst people in the world who have organized with only one goal of destroying Star Citizen. Naturally anything and everything that looks bad about Star Citizen is our fault because Star Citizen is only ever good.

Except even when goons were hundreds of thousands deep and people were probated here for even joking about the game not coming out the threats were still flying toward anyone that dared to speak out against the game because this psycho-hostility poo poo has been in the Star Citizen community since the beginning, was encouraged by people like Ben Lesnick and has turned into literal fanaticism after having years to develop.

Sorry backers. You still have the ability to dream about the perfect game coming out some day because the fanatical crazy people have poured their hearts and wallets into Star Citizen. You can not have your cake and eat it too and pretend like the people mortgaging their houses and going tens of thousands of dollars deep couldn't possibly feel strongly enough to threaten anyone.

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.

He’s dead on in this followup. I don’t expect him calling out the Zealots (particularly on the subreddit) is going to produce any soul searching... And calling out CIG for turning a blind eye to the extremists due to their willingness to spend beyond reason is totally on point.

This problem deserved attention years ago. But from CIG’s perspective their very problem was their solution to another problem. The “how to silence doubters” problem.

The correct way to silence doubters has never been mysterious, Sandi, Ben, Chris, Lando... You dispel their doubts by delivering that which they doubt you’re capable of delivering.

Only you’re not very good at that. You never have been. In fact, you’re uniquely bad at that for some strange reason.

It’s not a lack of funding — you’ve been given Rockstar budgets. It’s not a lack of time — you’ve been given twice that most AAA games require... Most of the gaming community paying attention to you rooted for your success early on, yet most those same people now doubt your capacity to deliver much of anything beyond spaceship sales, excuses and lunatic defenders to shout down those expressing doubts.

Might be worth reflecting on how it’s all come to this, Chris. If you have trouble figuring it out, just find the nearest mirror and reflect on that for a while. I’m sure it’ll come to you eventually.

Just red an article that SoTA players are getting c&d letters from SoTA's publisher Travian Games, informing them that real money trading of ingame items is against the rules and they have to stop. So, all the players buying land for a shitton of money in hopes to sell it for profit are now hosed, I guess?

Imagine the same would happen to SC. I think the amount of tears it would produce would net SC another entry into the guiness book => hosed of the most players within one hour.

I am dumbfounded at how far off the pulse of reality the defenders are. Even if they have the money or feel the pack is justified, does not mean that John Every-man would feel the same. Then taking it a step further and trying to get folks to go after someone to take away their ability to express their opinions.... all over a hobby. Why can't you just disagree with an opinion you don't like, maybe add some evidence to counter their points if you feel THAT strongly they are wrong, then move on. I feel like on some level the Montoya's out there are doing damage control because they know deep down that this project is not in a good state and normal people left to their own devices would also come to that conclusion.
