I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Imagine how these clowns react if the judge decides against CIG, if not dismissing everything outright alone makes them post like mentally disabled children.

The reality distortion field is on at full power regarding the CIG vs Crytek case. Couple of weeks ago the judge was a stellar professional whose relation to 'space' would indubitably make her dismiss all of Cryteks arguments. Now that she didn't she's 'too old' to understand technology and the reason why old people are failing America. Woe be me if there was another was another explanation. The sound of dissonance emanating from /r/starcitizen makes shatters windows on ArcCorp.

"You don't sue your clients"

Apparently all of commercial law is an illusion because no business would sue someone they had a contract with.

Backers seem to have a habit of stating things they have no knowledge of with full confidence that they're right. The thing is, I can play that game too. Example: "Star Citizen is poo poo." The difference is that I'm right and they're not.

Just wait five months and send him his own tweet back with a red x over everything they didn't get.

SC amazes me that way, been following the thread for nine or ten months and I'm not sure the game has actually added anything you'd put down as a game feature or meaningful content.

When you think about Gamescom or E3, you think of an industry event designed for everyone to get together and show off this or that. Blizzcon or the more recent Tennocon is on a smaller scale - Blizzard has a number of offerings, Tennocon has a dedicated fan base so it's smaller and more intimate, but just as energetic.

Enter "CitizenCon." Remember that Chris Roberts was turned down by every publisher he approached. We know the games industry is a small place. Nobody who ever worked with Chris had anything particularly good to say about him, just backhanded compliments through gritted teeth. Nobody would work with him. Nobody.

His opinion of himself is of a visionary mastermind. Now to those of us with the talent to spot missing chromosomes, this is laughable at best. But he believes it. Hence CitizenCon - an E3 dedicated solely to Chris Roberts.

CR thinks he's such an incredible game developer that he requires an E3 analogue dedicated to him alone. This is a man who is not considered a game developer by the games industry, nor is he considered a director by the movie industry. Both kicked him out. But he demands an E3 of his own. Dedicated not to his nonexistent "game" - despite the name - but to him. A monument to his genius. An annual event where he finds the most genetically damaged white males the internet can defraud, and charges them to fly to where he is and clap for him as he stutters and spits on stage, oblivious to every thought beyond "FIDELITY! IMMERSION!" despite having less idea what those terms mean than a below-average duck.

This is the man whose company is about to charge into a Federal court and lay waste to one of the most powerful legal behemoths on the planet.

If the original Star Wars movie had Chris Roberts as Luke Skywalker, the credits would have rolled minutes after the movie began, shortly after Chris turned on the lightsaber while it was pointing the wrong way.
The warframe devs where also turned away from every publisher they pitched WF to.

Some of it will happen. I've found that CIG constantly manages to surprise me by surpassing utter failure by a hair's breadth.

Like, maybe they'll add a new moon or two in orbit of Placeholder Gas Giant, or maybe they'll put in a extraordinarily glitchy female model that causes all new body horror. But CIG constantly surprises me by failing to utterly fail.

Kinda agree with this. They'll put out something, it will be completely underwhelming and a utter fraction of what they were saying was coming. And then we'll get to hear how all that is actually better than several released AAA games for the next three months.
