This must be what they mean by emergent gameplay. "let's see how much money we can throw at CIG".

1.8M have given a poo poo about SC once during the last 5 years. For all we know 80% of them have decided its a garbage fire and never logged a second time. From Turbulent stats we know only about 550k have actually purchased anything from CIG, or roughly 25% of the "Citizen" are actually backers.

The lower left chart is pretty nonsensical and I had to look at it a few times to understand what it was trying to say. It takes the numerical value of salt levels 1-10 literally, and then plots those numbers (i.e. the numbers 1-10) on a pie chart. Even if the assignment of quantitative -- as opposed to merely ordinal -- salt levels made sense, this chart would not make sense because the whole point of the survey is that salt levels are not equally distributed in the population, and thus the breakdown of total salt by level is not provided by plotting 1-10 on a pie chart. To further confuse matters, the pie pieces are labeled with their observed frequency in the responses and the percentage of the pie taken up by that piece. Those two quantities do not go with each other in any way, and only one of them corresponds to the plotted size of the piece!

The other big problem is salt measurement was flawed from the get go.
How much are you upset by SC 3.0 delays:
0 was 'not bothered at all' or something and and 10 was "I refunded because of it" well how many citizens are going to poll anywhere near that dirty refund word? I'd wager even the saltiest backer wouldn't poll higher than a 5 or 6.



I'd be interested to see an age vs spending amount chart.

Many of the citizens i'm still in contact with have fallen back onto playing Magic: The Gathering. Lots of folks who refuse to refund are barely even following the game anymore.

the thing that kills me with this whole "FUD" crap is that you can go and play Star Citizen right now

you can go and play it and form your own opinions

this whole "but but but IN THE FUTURE DREAM it'll be amazing!" never worked for any video game ever

although to be fair, super empire strikes back pretty much fulfilled every dream I had as a kid who was deep into star wars

Another possibility is that we're just seeing a cascade. Once someone breaks, it becomes easier to break yourself.

"I'm too afraid to have an expectation"

His pedigree is blowing budgets while failing to release games.

I've seen hard line backers ask the question "just imagine if they never took freelancer away from roberts' control, think of how much better it could have been". The reality is it wouldn't of even been released due to CRoberts bankrupting the studio over unrealistic goals. It's good to be ambitious when developing a game but you have to build the tech bit by bit over a number of projects as apposed to trying to make everything from the word go.

CRoberts pedigree is no different than that of Molyneux, promise the world and then after years and a fuckload of money deliver a grain of sand.
