aleksendr posted:I agree its not the most likely scenario, but i think its one of the more plausible. No Western Dev will touch the IP, but China would come in with very little knowledge of Croberts and his grandstanding agaist publishers and the industry. But what, really, would they want to buy? Star Citizen as intellectual property is not a "fixer upper". It's unfit for habitat and marked "Condemned", like some lunatic mansion with a lead-pipe plumbing system, walls insulated with asbestos, all built on a fault line already tremoring and long overdue for "The Big One". Neither the structure itself not the property it's built on would be desirable to own or restore. What, then, would they see worthy of salvaging?

Was intrigued by the Emeco Navy Chair and knockoffs, so i was browsing around a bit and found this: https://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/blog/tag/navy-chair Turns out Restoration Hardware is known for making knockoffs of the real article and, i assume, selling them for the same or higher amount of dolares. What are the odds of Sandi buying the knockoffs for absurd amount of backer money just because Restoration Hardware?

Older gentleman in bowler hat sees your post over your shoulder on the bus* Older man: Son do you like puzzles? I've got a job for you if you are interested Goon: Does it have to do with Star Citizen? The game that doesn't exist and is totally loving up? Older man: What? Why no. You'd be serving your country. Goon: Doesn't seem like my cup of tea. Now excuse me, theres another code string in here I haven't solved yet and I just may finally find out how much those breakroom chairs cost. Older man: Uhh ok son Goon: Parp!

Not too long ago saying that Star Citizens claimed development only started 6 months ago was a joke. Turns out it was also a prediction. Unironically looking forward to the first backer claiming development started 2 weeks ago.

I think anyone with a realistic opinion would say that development began the moment that they started spending development money (regardless of where it came from or what it was actually spent on). Whether they hosed it up 1/2/3 or more times and started again from scratch is irrelevant IMO.

Gapey Joe Stalin posted:There was a UK company called Manga that distributed a lot of the Japanese crayon literature world-wide, and over time in America, much like with Kraft Dinner and Car the brand name came to be used as the umbrella term, and in this case became further corrupted by a shortening of "animation" to "anime". Basically, people who call it that are just ignorant westerners who don't know better. Is my little pony 'Manga' or 'Anime'? I don't want my daughter to appear ignorant to her friends in school when she's discussing this cartoon poo poo.

The Maris Piper is the best potato. Light, fluffy, floury, flavoursome. It needs no butter or cream, just a little salt and white pepper. It gives no fucks. It does not taste good with beer.

I believe that is a toy range from the mid-1980s produced by Hasbro, and is as such Plastic. This is however immaterial to the discussion at hand.
