CIG is absolutely going to release the Carrack to the PTU on Valentine's because of the whole "Carrack is Love" community overhype thing Can we hope for another trespass into Hello Kitty again maybe? I'm sure Sanrio would be happy to have their likeness and trademark infringed upon again by Chris Roberts so it can help them be more popular. They probably just didn't notice the first time to give CIG a big kudos for being helpful! Try it again!

Sarsapariller posted:I really think this one may be shaping up to be the biggest collective disappointment in the last year or so. The community is banking a lot on this thing. Meanwhile, based on the leaks, it went from being a sleek and kind of greebly design to being another fat brick because they overcommitted on interior poo poo again and had to blob out the outside to fit everything, but were limited by their stupid landing pad designs to a certain maximum length, so the ship just got wider and wider. Looks bad.  Also you hit the nail on exactly why Star Citizen itself can never release. Once people see it and they can say "this is pretty much it... no more dreams and possibilities", it's going to sink like a brick. The only thing people still invest in is the hope it will eventually still become something. The Titanic fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Feb 13, 2020 |

Pretty sure this has already happened but he still shows up enough to destroy anything good that may happen and pretend to be in charge while knowing nothing. He's in "glory mode" at this point and preening around. He's already filthy rich from it.

Some of my former bosses were like "I don't know what I'd do if I'd retire, I'm a workaholic!" as they played golf most of the day with their buddies and then went to the yacht club afterwards. They didn't see this as ironic or anything...they were the "idea guys" who made it all happen, and not just rich assholes who had money to throw around to start a company.

the best is that all of them lie about having several degrees and all of them lie about having a disability and all of them lie about "having to start out with nothing" its like they don't see that having a family that has several hundred million dollars gave them any sort of advantage, no, see, they had some slight dyslexia or a cold or a foot rash or something and life was SO HARD at that one Ivy league school they went to and whose merch is displayed over their corner office and yeah they do have several degrees but mostly their degrees are in whatever the current subject is, and geez their family only paid for their college and they had to start out as a non executive for their father's company and BOY HOWDY was that tough only making $150k a year as upper management because Telsa's don't pay for themselves chortle chortle I guess the worst thing is that they are also cruel and petty and vindictive and will constantly make your life harder for no reason besides entertaining them for a few fleeting moments

WaltherFeng posted:How old is Chris anyway. At what point do you think he's just going retire with all this cash? He’s like 52 or 53. I think he wants clout and asspats just as much as cash. Many ambitious people that age (my age range) feel like they can still make their mark somehow on their industry (or community or hobby) and aren’t thinking about retiring for another 15 or 20 years. Chris seems like kind of an empty shell of a person who lives for micromanaging and swaggering and pushing people around and being thought of as a big shot. Just having financial comfort from his ill-gotten gains probably isn’t enough for him.

The only unprecendented things about this is the scale of the delusion by backers that this is all good.

I can never get over the ship pricing in Star Citizen. Thousands of dollars, for imaginary ships in half-finished game. I can't even get angry, I have to give them reluctant kudos. I'm just awestruck of the sheer brazeness of what they've gotten away with.

Dark Off posted:new filings. Also, definitly confirmed that Turbulent's administrators Marc Baudet et Benoit Beauséjour own personal shares in CI UK, and not Turbulent owning shares in Cloud Imperium UK Limited. It's a sidetrack but it's related. In that Turbulent/CIG cross buy announcement, it was announced that CIG had acquired shares in Turbulent, and that they would be controlling 2 seats at the board of administrators. To this day, on the Canadian Federal Business register, there has still not be a single change in the numbers of administrators: https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/scr/cc/CorporationsCanada/fdrlCrpDtls.html?lang=eng&corpId=4060652 Same on the local Quebec Business Register: https://www.registreentreprises.gou...Service=S00436. Wonder what to make of it.

I'm too wasted to do a deep read analysis of the agreement which is basically an update of their articles of associations, but here is some interesting tidbits: The directors are elected as the following:
The question I have here is, whom is represented by that "investor designee" seat. Is it a second seat for the Calders (first one being Eli Klein). Or is it a seat for another pool of unknown investors? Remuneration and expense:  Having a board of directors with fullblown autonomy to determine its own salaries and expenses is really the way to go with the most community oriented open crowdfunded project ever.
