It's easy for us to step back and look at the situation and be like, 'WHAT THE gently caress, WHY DON'T YOU RUN" but they still need income. I wouldn't fault someone staying at a paying job utilizing their abilities while looking for a new place of employment. I think it would make for an interesting interview though. It was a joke, but good post nonetheless.

Yes, i think it's just the employees taking advantage of knowing that their boss has 43 million in paycheck money to hand out. They are just doing business till something else comes along that can be a bit more long term because this project is reaching the halfway/end mark.

The whales who've put tens of thousands in are paralysed by the sunk cost fallacy while the true believers are still refusing to accept any evidence that this won't be the greatest event in human history. Probably 6-9 months from critical mass, there's a lot of popcorn to get through yet.

Granted, I've been away from the thread since last Friday so I may have missed something.

We don't have any information on how much backer money is left, however they have raised over 90 million from the kickstarter and ship jpegs. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tMAP0fg-AKScI3S3VjrDW3OaLO4zgBA1RSYoQOQoNSI/edit quote:LIVE STATUS

I did it! I'm out! Refunded today (CIG says). Perhaps you should all hold applause until the money actually hits my account. I'm going to use the money to buy actual games that exist and are fun (or buy some new bearings/wheels for my daughters derby skates).

Eonwe posted:okay that makes sense "Developer" is a pretty broad term that doesn't have much meaning beyond "Works on a game in some capacity." Star Citizen's most obvious faults are all in the game director and designer's department: Every dumbass thing like drink mixing minigames, the whole choice about maximum immersion at all times over "fun", poor balance in AC, etc. Technical achievements have all been pretty impressive, even though some of them are of the "Well holy poo poo that was a lot of work instead of just doing X, but it's pretty impressive that you got Y to work" variety. Others like the damage modeling on ships is cool as hell.

Derek Smart has had zero contact with my friend or her husband about DickWulf so either he is talking to ANOTHER married woman who received pics or his communications with "my friend" has been a long standing troll of Dr. Derek Smart Phd. In her words: "We never asked Derek to help us get justice. [Husband] got his refund. It's done. Wulf's life is it's own reward. Period. Why kick a dwarf?" I just wanted to make sure this is clear for the ladies and gentlesirs of Space Court.

Eonwe posted:im not sure, but Kimsemus and thatguy have played a major role in space court and it is too bad those in Goonrathi never gave them their day in space court before this game fell apart completely It would actually be anti-climactic if Goonrathi let him in at this point, since it would mean the joke was over. A lifetime ban from a gaming clan (founded to play a failed non-game), based on some incident involving fishing that happened in a Korean grind-fest MMO, is way funnier if it just never gets reversed forever.
