It won't be me cutting the rope that guy's dangling from. Not once, but twice, he said "how far we've come." Commando, there is no "we." There is "Chris Roberts", the scammer, and "you", the scammed. You're watching a fake commercial from a fake game company advertising a fake ship showing a fake lifestyle that you'd be wildly unsuited for even if it were all real. This has been going on for years now and that paragraph might be the most depressing thing I've ever read, and it's ten times as depressing because the guy who wrote it genuinely wouldn't understand what's wrong with what he wrote. This is sad turtles all the way down.

Crytek got new lawyers, filed a $500,000 bond with the state (because they’re an out of state corporation who presumably can’t be trusted not to skip out on paying CI not-G’s award if they lose; this is actually not that unusual), and iirc discovery is happening.

MedicineHut posted:Hold on, all those design documents were intextricably linked to a specific ship or high profile sale item. Mining ships, e-war ships, farming ships, etc Are the moneys CIG got also never to return to the backers who pledge them due to these design documents hype? Is CIG offering refunds for those? No? I am shocked, shocked I tell you. No, everything will be as promised in Tier 4 or 5. Be patient, development has only just begun. They are certainly not purging all traces of their big promises. Also, what are you talking about, show me proof they ever promised complex workflows for mining ships, news reporters, etc? You can't, can you, you goon fudster

AlbieQuirky posted:Also, did you miss the Forbes article? Because that was a treat. quote:On a summer Saturday in 2007, a trespasser slipped by a security gate and entered Chris Roberts’ L.A. home. Inside, Madison Peterson, Roberts’ former common-law wife, with whom he had a long on-and-off relationship, was startled and feared her young daughter could be harmed or kidnapped. Peterson later identified the trespasser as Sandi Gardiner, who is now Roberts’ wife (for the second time) and a cofounder of Cloud Imperium. Roberts reported the incident to police, and a California judge issued a temporary restraining order that required Gardiner to stay 100 yards away from Peterson, who claimed in her temporary restraining order application that Gardiner had been stalking and threatening both her and her daughter for nearly three years. I know I shouldn't be surprised, after all the crazy poo poo revolving around her during the entirety of this decade, but still...JFC.

Perfectly rational thing to do with someone who isn't emotionally stable.

"Madison Peterson, Roberts’ former common-law wife, with whom he had a long on-and-off relationship" This reminded me of Eric Peterson, aka Wingman. Did Descent ever release or was the curse of Chris too strong?

At least they know they are whales to be milked. They are happier than a pig in poo poo with those ships Rap Three Times posted:"Madison Peterson, Roberts’ former common-law wife, with whom he had a long on-and-off relationship" quote:In early May 2019, Descendent Studios' homepage was taken offline and multiplayer servers for game builds stopped responding. No official statement has been made from either the developer or publisher concerning the status of the game's development or online support.[citation needed] Unofficial posts by a developer from Descendent Studios indicated that all development on the game had been completely halted, this being due to financial and legal issues that developed between Descendent Studios and the publisher Little Orbit. The original posts were deleted, but YouTuber Montoya documented the posts and history of the development woes in a video uploaded to his channel. [14] too strong.

"Also as stated in previous threads with concerns to the deadline and how much work they are doing, they ARENT building the game from the ground up. They arent making a game engine from scratch and most of the assets and components are already in place. So far weve just seen a few ship designs, but that doesnt take into account what ELSE is already going on in the background."

trucutru posted:Right now the reddit is back in "only positive thinking allowed", lol. They only had to get lied directly and shown a commercial to change their minds. The hand on the tiller has been really evident this last week: * The biggest of the big whales were mollified by their literal actual 300 dollar microwaved-potato dinner with Chris. The dumb minelayer ship opened up a new "Tactical" conversation among the idiots who still think this game has an actual design document, and a new big thing to buy if you want to P2W. * The big "Come to Jesus" conversation video where the developers admitted (indirectly) that they suck at everything, and they need to change the roadmap yet again, scrapping virtually every milestone and goal they had set for themselves through the end of next year. This was extremely cathartic for the angry citizens who want to believe- look, the company can be honest with us, even though their honesty reveals their total incompetence at every aspect of development! It was also the final straw for a bunch of fence sitters, who are now just gone. Another wave of customers driven off and yet their funding never drops. * The 3.6.1.7 or whatever patch was released from the PTU to the PU, which means virtually nothing because the only thing that was in it was a ship that costs 1000 actual dollars. Every other feature including in-game ship rentals was cut, but the excitement of having a new thing you can buy will overwhelm the remaining Citizens for a couple of days. * The hype for the big ship was turned up to eleven. Ironically you are going to see a lot fewer organic posts about it now, because on the PTU everyone who logged in could try it, and from now on it will be restricted to buyers, and nobody who plays the game bought one of these loving things because it's a gold plated turd. But that doesn't matter on the subreddit- what matters is the level of hype and testimonials and "Architect reviews" and RP firefight re-enactments and video after video after video about how many spaceships your strained and red-rimmed ship hangar can possibly have crammed into it. Then they hit them with a commercial- amazing! Wow! Never been done before! I don't think this momentary high is going to last. It's the thrill of dropping a bajillion dollars on a big purchase, but regret is going to set in faster and faster. This thing is useless, you can't even fly it in-game without racking up unbelievable expenses. The game itself has made zero progress in the last 9 months except new spaceships, and they just turned around and promised that it won't make any progress in the next 9 months, either. Citizens always lose their minds over new spaceships but I think they're building up a tolerance- small poo poo like the rocket truck doesn't phase them anymore. The minelayer was met with a big wave of derision at first. They had to do a one-two punch of the biggest ship they've released so far, and the annual apology tour video, and I still think we'll be back to anger before Citizencon in November.

Yes, but then there was a forum poll, see, and the scope expanded exponentially, so the systems got contracted and their number got reduced, because this makes sense somehow. And a true Store Citizen does not worry for any of this, because all of Skyrim can fit in a moon's crater.

Badnewsbaron got back into Star Citizen after realizing nobody will watch him play anything else. (That's not my interpreting, he literally says this in the opening minutes of his broadcast)  Guess asking your girlfriend to marry you on the stage of the Star Citizen annual convention while preaching to the choir about your future long-term dedication to Star Citizen might pigeon-hole you a bit....
