The poo poo Nerds Care About So at the end of the last griefing story I said anytime I say one thing to a nerd, a dozen other nerds get mad for days. That's a bit of an understatement, I don;t even have to say poo poo, if loving Ben says some poo poo that even implies I approved of it, a small army of Best Buy hourly employees will be ready to write entire loving essays about how much they hate it while another small army of Target stockers will go to war on my behalf and scream that the other nerds are infact secret nazis or some poo poo. When this all started we were thinking the game (see possible DEA/SEC/FBI investigation team, I do whole-heartedly intend to make a game) we had the idea it would just be War Thunder meets EVE. Sounded really simple, just make it look pretty and they'd knock down the door. Ben then thinks that some people who played EVE were too mean and the best way to keep them from doing that in our game would be to make it so early backers would have their poo poo replaced for free when they inevitably got it blown up by wandering in to the wrong area to trade someone for space-gold or whatever and then have the other guy's friends pump their ship so full of holes you'd think it was my wife at a casting call. We call this poo poo something like Space-GEICO (I forget what they decided to go with, but I think Space GEICO could have been a really good marketing/advertisement tie-in. But I'd rather go Space-Progressive cause Flo has that weird-lookin-chick-you-still-wanna-gently caress vibe going on) and the idea is it replaces all your poo poo if you die so you don't have to worry about losing something you paid $500 real-world-cash for. But it turns out that doing this after a few months really pissed a ton of nerds off. Our website was over-flowing with slapfights and everytime one of my employees made a statement about it there was practically an e-riot about said statement. So then loving Ben (Turtle) starts making posts and videos and other poo poo about it and all it does is get the peasantry to continue to revolt. Like I'm pretty sure I could go on tumblr and detail all the VDs I gave to booth-chicks at E3 with confirmation pictures/medical bills circa 2001-03 and still not get even a modicum of the bitching these nerds were doing. So I come up with a plan to fix that poo poo, I tell them we'll stop selling it as a lifetime add on for ships that already exist in the game, and only offer it for ships that we've only scrawled pictures of on mysteriously powder-covered napkins. Not only does this poo poo enrage half the mouth breathers, it also makes sales on imaginary internet spaceships triple. I'm the smartest man to ever live.

bathroomrage posted:I get the feeling I would care more if I was in on the Star Citizen/EVE shitfest. There's not much to be in on, all that you need to know is that Star Citizen raised unheard of amounts of money during its Kickstarter because the name Chris Roberts was attached to it, and these nerds lost their minds so badly that they started paying thousands of dollars in exchange for "ownership" of digital spaceships in a game that was years away from having so much as a tech demo. And when I say "thousands of dollars" I mean per person in some cases. Selling the promise of a fake spaceship over and over brought in millions of dollars in total revenue

Worth mentioning whenever Star Citizen comes up that the last video game that Chris Roberts did anything more than a little writing for was released before the original Doom, and the last game he had anything to do with was over a decade ago and went vaporware within a year. But no, dude, he totally knows what he's doing with forty million dollars on a AAA game with Molyneux-level promises behind it.

Lemniscate Blue posted:Not having followed his career, which was this? The Freelancer sequel? It was freelancer. It was under development for like 2 years, then Mirkosoft removed CR as project lead and then he ragequit games and buggered off to hollywood. Freelancer released 2 more years later, with a couple major features scrapped that were later on found and implemented by modders. Kinda like with kotor 2. What would happen if he stayed project lead? I guess we'll soon find out, end of 2016 is the 4 year time limit freelancer had.

Hell, I was talking about the original Freelancer. Three years in pre-production, announced in 1999, the company's bought out in 2001 after no word whatsoever and finally the game is demo'd with massively reduced features just to prove it's not vaporware (even though within the company Roberts had already left the project entirely) and because Microsoft didn't want the whole thing to be a waste. Then it takes two more years to salvage someone worth releasing and when it finally comes out everyone lines up to give it a B+ and say it lived up to Roberts' "vision." Then Microsoft keeps the servers up for the contractual minimum (five years) and buries it.

I remember a couple of years ago purchasing Dead Island and decided to engage in a bit of co-op for a change of pace. I thought I'd be helping people out in a time of need, doing my bit to help people out. What it turned into was a little bit of progression and then a lot of afk. A lot! After a few days of what felt like my time being wasted I thought I'd make things a little more fun, I got bored of people going afk for ten minutes after five minutes of movement. It got pretty drat boring, so it got me thinking creatively, I could move freely and I could trigger the undead into following me. So any time anyone went afk without warning for more than a couple of minutes I'd find an NPC undead friend and lead them straight to this person. There was one person in particular who was wanting co-op help and went afk frequently, yet still accepted my "help" regularly. I couldn't help myself every drat time!

Ugly In The Morning posted:If anyone has any good griefing stories from it, I'd love to hear them. It had a pretty great multiplayer. The modding scene for it still lives on. The most popular one, Discovery, adds capital ships, bombers with which to swarm and gank bad capship pilots, cloaking devices, and recently jump drives. I was a programmer for their anti-cheat for a while before internal bullshit made me quit. My favourite part about that mod and its diseased community and role-playing server was getting a whole shitload of Nomads (alien ships only allowed to be flown by a single exclusive faction, super OP and allowed within the server's hugbox rules to engage people silently, unlike everyone else) together, getting on a Teamspeak or the like, going into a heavily populated system and just silently wrecking loving everyone we saw. People would get real loving mad, and every time someone broke the hugbox "no swearing" rules, we would silently screenshot them and submit them to the admins. They'd usually get a week ban for swearing, and we'd get literally zero retribution for ruining someone's gameplay because we were completely within the rules. While I miss some of the less stupid poo poo in that mod (and the griefing) I'll never go back because the people who run it were complete dicks to anyone who wasn't part of their group of friends. But by god, Freelancer was incredible for griefing.

Last time I checked sometime last year, SC had raised something like 56 million. I can only wonder how much it has raised right now, and to me, that's the true grief. Me not caring enough to know how much nerds have been scammed.
