Whats the over/under on how many people i ask before i get tossed out by security?

More likely that security will follow you around and throw out anyone who says anything positive.
Might as well clear out the unsound elements before they cause problems.

Can someone invite Chris Roberts? And unban Derek Smart? :smuggo:

Would unironically like Chris Roberts in here, but keep Derek Smart banned. Besides, can you imagine the melt down Smart would have if Roberts were in this thread, answering our questions so long as we made sincere attempts to talk with him?

They could hire the same security team that chased CIG from room to room at Gamescom.

I've heard of some pretty crazy workarounds and tricks in game development, but I guess this is what it looks like when the trick fails.

This is from the movie Serenity, in case anyone is curious. Joss Whedon is the director, so it has its usual all women are objects for the men to use, but otherwise it's a solid fun sci-fi movie.

People like talking about this Kickstarter because there is nothing like it. Development started in 2011, it is still pre-alpha, there is $27,000 DLC packages that normal people have paid for, and the game is nearing $300 million dollars. Something like this has never been seen before, and it really shows a critical fatal flaw in both the way capitalism works, and how broken the game industry is. That something like this is acceptable to millions of people, is just completely wild to me.

Engine change confirmed! And it only took 2 days, as prophesied.

One of my favourite bits of Star Citizen bullshit right there. Either the switch to Lumberyard was trivial and only took a few days as they claimed, meaning it’s all built on bog standard Cryengine and they’re lying about replacing half of Crytek’s code, or they had to devote serious time and resources, in which case they’re lying about the switch being trivial.

Either way they’ve outed themselves as liars.

There is a 'the_agent' rumor that they're actually doing a clean room at the moment, which then raises my question 'WTF were they doing during the radio silence of 2017?'.

So to roughly timeline;

* They start with CryEngine, then decide to jump to Lumberyard.

* They're on 'Lumberyard' after two days of migration, but now Crytek is suing them, and every attempt to get the case dismissed, including an all-out effort to paint Crytek as living on credit and unable to pay court costs. They're firmly into discovery before a jury trial now.

* There's a rumor they're shifting engines.



Edit: if you're interesting in the ongoing case of Crytek GMBH Vs Cloud Imperium Games Corp. et al, it's Central District of California, Hon. Dolly McGee presiding. Case: 2:17-cv-8937

Nonono, you misunderstand; Neurotic Roleplay is actually giving a medical diagnosis and has wandered into the somethingawful.com games section by accident, wandering past the awful Skyrim mods and terrible hentai games on Steam to point out that enjoying the slow-motion collapse of the largest crowd-funding 'game' is somehow more broken-brained than....<checks notes>....'tit spikes'? Do I have that right?

It makes you really think.

My only concern is have we become too militarized in our forever war against the stupidity of SC?

Should we be kinder and gentler to our fellow SA Goons?

Should I finally change out of my food stained boxer shorts?

Should I, as stated, look for help?

You choose a side.
If you go with "Backers" side, you have to buy a jpeg or the $27,000 completionist package.
If you go with "Dead Gay Comedy Forums", you have to mercilessly follow and harass the "Backers" until they refund or complain bitterly about it in :reddit:.

The only winner is Chris Roberts' bank account.

Maybe Star Citizen is the bitter enemies we made along the way.

Tippis posted:

To be fair, irrespective of the backers' protestations to the contrary, it's quite likely they're no longer accumulating new suckers at any useful rate. If they were, it would still be a prominent part of their marketing like it was in the early years (2012–2017 or so), but now it's all about the total sum raised. So the people who fell for it did so long ago and are now just stuck in a deep sunk-cost hole where they must believe it to be true because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.


After all, this timeframe is completely normal and you know nothing of game development.



For the newcomers: CIG has consistently gotten the same tax credit for a game that's roughly as “culturally British” as… oh, let's say bratwurst. The payday loan the OP mentions happened a couple of years back when they were running dry close to account reporting time because they couldn't quite be sleazy enough to go full Enron and report uncertain future backer funds as income, and instead got Coutts to cover them until the tax rebate for that year kicked in. Their financial position was so solid that they had to throw in the entirety of their main IP rights as a collateral to cover that £3M shotfall for about 6 months.

It is totally unfair to include the lunar landings!

They had an existing program thanks to the Nazis Germans! It is not fair! Chris had to build everything from the ground up!

Besides all that happened was landing on one moon! SC has eclipsed that by an order of magnitude!
