Sarsapariller posted:Star Citizen will never, ever be playable in VR, for so many reasons I'm not even going to bother to list them not only will we see a fully playable vertical slice in VR this year at citizencon (it'll never be as much as mentioned in passing again after that) that also definitely means that the entirety of the game has also been fully converted to VR. a special VR-gimmick ship sale will also go up at the same time (it uh has a holodeck or something? doesn't matter, it'll never be functional)

Long have we expected Star Citizen to become the subject of economical, social and marketing research. Had anyone already linked this article?

Also stealing valor from that thread:  A few stats from this academic paper on Star Citizen:The word "Dream" was used 70 times. The abbreviation "UDM" (Ultimate Dream Management) was used 21 times. The word "Game" was used 18 times. The ratio seems about right.

colonelwest posted:I have the vivid image in my mind of a Citizen dying decades from now while waiting for the game to release, and being entombed in their SC themed basement sim-pit, as an aged group of a dozen of their surviving org mates gather at Olisar and play taps over the in-game voice channel. One of them turns on FOIP to try to display their emotional anguish, and is instantly deskeletonized as the server crashes.  I feel like I'm reading the release notes of the future.

Guys they are obviously making tons of progress behind the scenes, I'd say they are even ahead of schedule but are too humble to tell us. They're also waiting for the lawsuit to blow over even if they kept on updating the roadmap these past months. It's all a show, they have almost finished the game and will surprise us very soon.

Beexoffel posted:Long have we expected Star Citizen to become the subject of economical, social and marketing research. The pastoral crowd: Exploring self‐hostedcrowdfunding using activity theory and socialcapital https://sci-hub.tw/10.1111/isj.12143 quote:Fourth, the study demonstrates the scale sensitivity of long‐term crowd‐participation models. The Star Citizen case suggests a significant proportion of backers were investing (at least partly) because they wished to take part ina project that would otherwise lie outside their individual reach. Roberts Space Industries embraced this by offering backers the opportunity to make creative contributions. However, this became decreasingly feasible as the project became more successful. Thus, they were placed in the paradoxical position of becoming more successful and less capable of meeting backers' expectations. This issue of unanticipated success in crowdfunding leading to issues of capacity is not new (eg, Mollick, 2014; Mollick & Kuppuswamy, 2014). However, previous observations have largely concerned supply chain management and the physical production of goods, rather than the production of digital(seemingly scale‐insensitive) products. Observations from this study show that this issue can transcend physical production issues, particularly where backers are encouraged to take personal ownership over the project

Can't believe I've wasted 7+ years of my life thinking about this scam. The only way to WIN with Shart Citizoids is to not know about it. To know about it, is to lose. Whether you're a supporter or a dissenter, if you know about Star Citizen, you fuckin lose. Buy an idris.

You could go for lovely Saab (hey, it has extra durability!), BMW 7, Toyota Curren and lots of other cars made in 1995. but no, pull some random ugly car.

Not work-related Profile pic is of him at work with that other guy from SC behind him. And over on the SC sub.... > Is breaching ships a scrapped concept? Tagged as concern, over 50% downvoted. Also from the SC sub > It's almost a little bit weird in that nobody really should have to pay more than $40-60 for a AAA title, but, without people spending over that SC would probably be a very different animal. Well, yes, you know, it might have actually been something achievable. > That's why I backed too. I saw the kickstarter, but I wasn't so enticed by the initial scope of the game. When they started talking about expanding the scope and we would be getting a space experience beyond the level of freelancer, I realized that's the game I always wanted. Was aware of Freelancer, gleefully unaware of what happened with Freelancer. And an innconcent writes... > Once it finally releases you won't need to upgrade with real money because you can complete the mission arcs or careers in-game to get new and improved ships. While a woke citizien writes... > It's probably people that have spent a lot of money already. Nobody likes to be told that the $800 they spent on a Kickstarter project may not pan out exactly as they envisioned it/was promised to them, but at the same time there's nothing to say to someone pointing it out if there's nothing to show for it. And this one gave me a chuckle > I’m at a couple hundred and feel utterly retarded. Not that I don’t enjoy the game or aren’t excited about the proposed features, mind you, but if I’d spent that much on any other game I would rightly be ridiculed as a monumental idiot yet here I am, having dropped $200 on a drat video game. Not only that, but one that probably won’t be finished for at least 3 more years, if ever.

Origin 890 Jump Drone Footage on Microtech From JorunnSC & Yacht Club https://i.imgur.com/oNQlxls.gifv  How much money spent is in this picture? Roughly 10k. Holy gently caress, does this now qualify as the most expensive screenshot of all time? We had 28 Jumps in a Yacht Club once and we're shooting for a bigger group this weekend. The Jump Club is over 700 owners currently... https://media.giphy.com/media/LqUOs4OcFJzmSLt5hw/giphy.gif Over 700 members and all of them own a 890J? If this is the case, then you're looking at around 700-800k worth of ships in that group alone. That's only factoring in the 890J's too. I'd bet that group has funded this game over $1mil alone. When you consider that the 890J tends to be just one of their large fleets it's many millions. This is just the combat capitals of about 80 of them

Note that citizens will claim that it was supposed to be an MMO from the start, but the Kickstarter clearly describes it as a single-player game with a persistent multiplayer universe you enter after you complete the main solo campaign, ala Freelancer, with future content that would primarily be more solo campaign missions. The whole focus on the MMO and PU pretty obviously came later after they realized selling ships was the real cash cow.
