there's always a lull like this before the tipping point hits. that point could actually tip them either way; release something good that finally allows them to make some real money, or finally go on life support and with a handful of players continuing to throw a few million at Roberts every year for dreams. now normally, this cycle would have collapsed already and obviously it doesn't have to be mentioned here, but the only reason CIG stayed afloat in 2018 was from a nearly $50m outside investment. somehow, beyond all rationality, they've continued to avoid going under

however, they owe a lot of people a lot of loving money. Sq42 is really their only hope at this point. a release on next gen consoles that could push ten million plus units would save the company. I don't expect that announcement at this year's citcon, but deffo in 2020.

A dev friend told me pathtracing GI in PS Next is a bitch. Maybe, just maybe, S42 is going to implement raytracing and be a day 1 release for PS5 / Scarlett?

My god that would be :munch: worthy.

Citizens know nothing about RDR2 other than "it's a good game" and "it took eight years to make". Therefore, Star Citizen is just like RDR2. They cannot appreciate the difference between "It took eight years (and a fuckload of developers) to make a complete game that was meticulously detailed while having enormous amounts of content." and "Its taken eight years to produce a bunch of half-baked gameplay loops that are barely functional with no clear vision or end in sight".

You're clearly missing the point here you fud spreader.

The truth is, backers are waiting for CR to sell them something, anything really. They're desperate for CR to show them the next best thing so they have an excuse to remortgage the house and throw their kid's college funds at the game!

Just noticed last night that GTA V has working dashboard lights for dip and full beam. Chris should really get on this.

(Also noticed an insane amount of lore, world-building, characterisation and gameplay geography stuffed into every crevice. But Citcon should sort that.)

WTF, why does that look so cheap? The material looks average, the collar is thin, the zipper looks like Chinese production. I admit I bought myself WoT jacket some years ago for a hefty price - at least it was on a slight discount at the time -, but at least it was Musterbrand, good quality German brand assembled in Germany (or other EU countries), and I am still wearing it years after (just regret I didn't have enough money at the time for the leather version, got only this leatherette one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBB82uDP-5A).

This just looks very meh, I wonder how much it cost.

gently caress, I looked it up. Fuuuuuuuuck. 30 USD (and shipping) for a cap that's worth half of that tops. 43 USD (and shipping) for the polo, again, for this quality I would give like half of that, if not less (Alibaba sells similar customized polo shirts with logo for like 10 bucks tops, more likely 5 USD a piece - and they even have buttons, as proper polo shirts should have, not loving plastic zippers).
