Irrational Man posted:this was probably more of an innocent mistake whereby she just wanted to look smart and copied what she saw one time on the history channel, without realizing the difference. If it even happened at all. Although there's (almost) no doubt that it was an innocent mistake, this really did happen, there was even an apology afterwards that I'm sure I could find.

http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1075574 neogaf has quite a lot of SC faithful. the title of that thread alone is loving hilarious "Derek Smart just had his manhood taken by RSI's lawyers". I wonder what their mental state must be like right at this moment.

CrazyLoon posted:There is a significant difference between speculation, based on what some goons can see from the outside, and 7-9 employees coming from different e-mail addresses of people, that were confirmed to have worked for CIG, being able to confirm all of SA's speculation and add some additional poo poo waffles on top to boot. I thought that we had a glassdoor review stating that racism was a thing in their hiring policies, which was brought up by AP in the last thread, I think somewhere between the burger threads - IIRC. If this article was published by the guardian I would trust their claim to have sources, however we are talking about gaming journalism. GAMING JOURNALISM. Did we really forget how bad they are? And IMHO there was nothing in their article that they couldn't have constructed out of reading the last SA thread together with Derek S. Twitter.

Not that I care about space games, but I am really curious what would have been possible with that kind of money surrounded by competence. DS keeps saying "it's not possible", but he spent $10 million on his current garbage game where players still fall through floors, and the lighting is all sorts of hosed, so I question his understanding of tech limitations a bit. A whale like this may never happen again, so it's sad it was squandered.

Soothing Vapors posted:Can't wait to read Croberts' angry email about this guy Response to the Forbes Article Recently, Forbes decided to run a scathing, rumor-filled article about Star Citizens and problems within our own offices. I want to address those concerns and let our backers know that we're making the greatest space sim ever scene. In last season's AFC Championship game, Tom Brady led the Patriots to a 45 - 7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. How can he have managed such a thing? What were his intentions? Before we go further I think you should know about Tom Brady and his part in InflateGate... edit*seen not scene ruff Madcosby fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Oct 1, 2015 |

I like how the Forbes writer seems to have had barely any idea how to react to Roberts' letter. Anyways, this snowball has barely started to roll. CiG's best chance to stop it is to release a financial statement that doesn't look like poo poo, then provide a realistic outline of how they plan on finishing the game with the money they have left. Laffo.

The Kins posted:$89 million has been spent on this game. Using that number and comparing the development budgets of other games... you'd get The Witcher 3 or Metal Gear Solid V. Wow, didn't think Witcher 3 was that high. drat good game though. Still, it's a different beast. I was wondering more about the transition tech between landing on planets and taking back off into space, if that were fully fleshed out with a competent team.

CrazyLoon posted:Yea! It sure doesn't exist! That news item, that pops up top of the game launcher?! Nope! That doesn't exist at all! Indeed, nine ex-employees and their concerted email exchange isn't digging up new information instead re-enforcing what we we already knew? This just underlines how bad Gaming Journalism is... and they wanted to be quoted as CS1 etc. I don't know, this sounds really constructed, there's a clear procedure how you quote sources in Journalism, but yeah Gaming Journalism. Anyways, Star Citizen is going Supernova, let's see if we get a hollywood movie out of it, it definitly feels like the face-off between Chris R and Derek S is close, I am intruiged to see what happens on Citizencon. Is Chris R delivering, or is Derek S burning it down. The Pitchforks are on-site and Hyper News Network is crowdfunded to report live from the hot zone. ... and what is Dick Wulfe doing now?

A Neurotic Jew posted:I would like to cordially invite anyone who will not be asking for a refund at this point to explain why. I can't promise anything from the other participants in the thread but I, at least, will keep an open mind and I am not asking in order to ridicule you. I'm genuinely curious. I am staying in with my 2012 $35 in the hopes that this ends up in a class action lawsuit. With the Washington state kickstarter case ending at $1K in restitution damages per violation -- for not delivering playing cards -- a similar suit vs CIG will be a blast. Also I am barred in NY and NJ so if it does go to (non-space)court maybe dsmart will let me join his elite cabal of east coast attorneys. PS: I had stopped following this game between May 2013 and July 2015, when I suddenly thought one day "oh that spiritual successor to Wing commander should be out by now, let me go download it." Did a bit of research, almost bought a Redeemer and Vanguard, but reading Beer's/Eowne's threads here gave me pause. Just wanted to thank all of you (not just those two) for the posts that made me think twice.

quote:Thing you have to understand about this article on the escapist, is that everything from these supposed ‘sources’ (which are completely anonymous btw) are all saying the same exact thing derek smart claimed on his blog, except in the first person, not the third. quote:So, when CIG is still operating in a few months (which you push forward the BS claim that they can’t afford to do), will you retract this joke of an “article”? This is disgusting, and only reflects on your poor skills as a journalist. I’m embarrassed for Forbes. quote:My judgement made me go and donate another $1000 to the SC development because of all you so called “journalists”.
