Hmmm.....

Unless he's referring to some of the crazier members on the refundian/skeptical side of things, then i don't think most of what he is saying has been said. I certainly don't recall anyone calling Chris a racist. An incompetent twit or similar, but not racist. Sandi - he's confusing prostitute with tickle porn actress. Racist.... as i recall there was one incident/quote wasn't there? Not so much an accusation of racism but a racist comment that came out of her mouth according to someone who worked for CIG? The one in the middle is presumably Ben, and the archives of his website speak for themselves.

It all depends on where you live and who are you talking about. Are you Thai and you believe the King is an ridiculous clown? Well, keep it to yourself you loving idiot. In most countries there is a checklist of things that a comment has to pass before being considered potential slander/libel. But in general there has to be some damage caused by your slanderous comments for them to be considered as such, and let me tell you about how much damage you're creating by posting in this lovely dead gay forum.

:v: "it's on my radar... and if I remember correctly we're working on it" - Star Citizen development in a nutshell.
Also I don't think it's possible to simply port from lumberyard / cryengine to unreal 4 as the video suggests.
I dont know if the cultists would support this- the entire company is build around cryengine experienced employees - you would have to replace them while you don't have enough employees as is to begin with.
If they can't get an idris into the game 8 years from the kickstarter - it's gg.
Not sure why it's such an issue to begin with - they have game assets like space stations that are similar in size and complexity.
Everyone working on this drat swamp of a project looks so defeated its sad.

:( Man I feel so bad for the actual developers, like having to achieve something that you probably know is near impossible or could be done more efficiently must be so grueling. There's probably some talented people working there but with the kind of management they have I don't see it getting better.

(on the topic of remote startup of ship) SCTT: "Don't ask questions. Do what the backers want. We are the majority stakeholders!"

Erm... i don't think he understands that CIG have zero obligation to do anything what backers want, except from the point of view of future funding. The money already given entitles them to nothing. Even the faithful backers know this when they tell people that "its a pledge, not a purchase!"

What gets me most about the questions being asked is the trivial poo poo that is being asked for. "Can food be stored in the kitchen on ships?"

FFS! Ask real questions about real gameplay stuff. Ask the hard questions!

Either CIG are ensuring only silly questions are being asked or the backers are really wanting to know this poo poo. I don't even know which is more likely. Both are quite possible.

They cherry pick the softest and most indefinite questions they can find, the ones that they can just verbally waffle around and theorycraft.

Q: Will there be more pointless fidelity in the game?
A: Yes we hope someday to have more pointless fidelity but we require server duct taping V3.

Q: Will the scope increase more?
A: Yes, we hope someday to increase the scope, sometime before the universe reaches its next evolutionary epoch.

For months now the top question on Spectrum and every other platform has been “why is SQ42 an obvious dumpster fire of project that hasn’t progressed at all?” And they’ve just blatantly ignored it.

so it looks like there was a huge scam going around the gray market since late 2019 with a user (or multiple users) buying tons and tons of poo poo for inflated prices (like 1.2x or 1.3x what you can buy from CIG directly lol), then selling them off for half of what they bought it for (they would contest the PayPal transactions as well)

the scammers then turned around and reclaimed the accounts they sold or told CIG they were hacked to reverse the transactions, essentially leaving the buyers holding the bag (the buyers lost real money either through PayPal or other means and also had the ships/credits they purchased or traded removed from their accounts lol)

while investigating this poo poo, CIG locks you out of your account completely

A guy one day ago on Reddit posted:

So account was locked on 31st January. We are now 5-6 weeks later and still have received no word of communication from CIG despite numerous emails and replys to the support ticket they initiated. Still locked out of account. WTF is going on? What is the next step from here to force this to a resolution? This account has about $40,000 USD on it, and is locked due to receiving a $150 or so value ship from this fuckwit.

there's rumblings that almost all the major sales/trades for the last six months have been tainted using their hacked PayPals or stolen credit cards

You know why they do this? Because they thought that if they just called them racist enough times the people who generally deal with that would take issue. Didn't happen though because they were baseless accusations that had no other intention than to cause harm.

And you're defending them because you think they have a right to be complete asshats to other people.
