I’m a UI/UX designer and I enjoy learning about game design (to the point of reading books and attending talks and such). Basically, I know enough to know that they’re going about it rear end backwards. That was absolutely my experience of the game when I played it so it's possible this is some kind of high art long con

it was a very long time ago now but my favourite croberts moment was when he was showing the game off live on stream the first thing he did after having to be shown how to log in is point at the chat interface and say "what the hell is this? it sucks, change it" aside from how he had somehow never seen it before, apparently he has a habit of just telling people to redo stuff for no good reason which probably isn't good for employee morale, and he couldn't even suppress that reaction for the purpose of putting on a good stream

Chris! What if - *wheeze, cough* - what if, on top of fake ships, we sell fake Training Certificates!? You know, for those who want to give us money, but just can't afford a ship of their own? We market the ships to the rich, but what about all those people, those real people, who are going to crew them??? The space middle class!! Five dollars for a Bachelor's Degree in Shield Harmonics. Ten dollars for a Master's in Artisanal Mixology! For just a bit of cash you'll have easy proof of your character's aptitude that'll set you head and shoulders above the competition!

I think you’re on to something, but for the whales...in order to legally pilot each vesse you need a master’s license. You can buy them, but only people who have paid for the training can have a 20/50/100 ton license or, for $10,000 you can have the coveted unlimited master’s license!

It's the TBI test they give you in the military which sounds about right for someone that addicted to an unreleased game.

The whole thing sounds like something a totalitarian government would put out on a completely non-violent political malcontent. "What was his crime? None of your business. And don't you dare talk to him, just call us." He's not some badass antihero mercenary. He's a victim of the system. All he did was steal that CPAP machine because he was Wake Apnea (very common in the space future) and needed it to live.

Facebook Aunt posted:Probably did. Look at his filmography: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000616/ Some actors are like maybe Ian McKellen. They're doing it for the art, luvvie. That's not to be disparaging of them. They regard acting as an artform that deserves respect. They pick and choose roles that challenge them, allow them to express themselves, to make a statement. Other actors are like Eric Roberts, or Lance Henrikson. They're self-employed and acting is their job. If you've got the money and they've got the time, they'll take your job with very little regard for what it is. It's why you'll see Henrikson and Michael Caine turning up in Steven Seagal movies. It's their job, and you never know which job is going to be the last one.
