I hope this gets included in the OP, Derek. I don't think there's a more lucid or even-handed summary of semi-recent developments with Star Citizen. It really goes to great pains to avoiding biasing viewers for-or-against the project and its management...

Vire posted:Were these people so terrified that the game would cease to exist if they didn't spend their whole life savings on it (probably ensuring it actually never will exist now funny enough because now he can feature creep the game to death and have zero accountability.). Or do they think they are getting value from buying this ships with real cash because they think it will be pay to win? What you need to understand about the SC fan base is this: they are loving insane. They are happy chucking cash up Croberts nose because they honestly think it's going to be that revolutionary. Like a whole new experience that will trascend them to a new reality. Some of them believe it will be the last game they'll ever play because it will do everything. And yes many of them probably do think they are getting one up on everyone else by buying a fleet of JPEGs. If you ask them they'll claim they're just pledging and the ships are a reward, but then they start theory crafting and building organisations based around specific play styles, despite there being a distinct and noticeable lack of detail about how any of it will function. The buying of JPEGs is particularly amusing. Either CIG crash and burn and there's a huge shitstorm and maybe some of them go on a neckbeard rampage, or it actually comes out and CIG has to somehow balance a game where they've pre-sold all the ships and promised features like drink vending minigames. There's no way for it turn out that won't be funny for anyone watching.

Jegan Ace posted:Honestly, nothing I read in that article was particularly world-shattering. Sure, but Chris Roberts responded with the most unprofessional official letter from a CEO I've ever read. He basically confirms that nothing is run competently there, and that croberts has an temper that makes him do irrational things. Its been posted a few times already itt. But here https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14979-Chairmans-Response-To-The-Escapist Scroll past the bad c&d letter. It reads like he was on coke. Anyone who gives CIG the benefit of the doubt after scanning that letter is a loving idiot. Lord_NeckBeard fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Oct 26, 2015 |

I think he's laughing at us, it's always us, laughing at the Swedish money laundering connections to F42/CIG and the hair stuff is another example. It's nice that everyone can agree that Star Citizen is a big joke, mind you most of us don't actually have to work there.

I will be disappointed if the game doesn't have mgs/arma levels of posture and aiming.
