I believe Karl just emails her things that concern him, like the screenshot of that radio guy who's been flipping out about it ever since. This would be the moreso rational explanation (and that's a sad statement in itself). If I've learned anything of CIG by this point, it is never to assume the rational.

Amun Khonsu posted:Id like to see proof that Sandi does indeed have 5 educational degrees and speaks 5 languages beyond being able to say , "hello", "how are you" and "taxi please". It's sarcastic and deflective hyperbole on Crobert's part. And mostly a jab at me (having multiple degrees). She doesn't have a single degree that we know of. Not one. So instead of actually stating the facts and addressing my blogs about her bogus qualifications, he didn't. Instead, he did precisely what they do (have you see Ortwin's letters?) by deflecting and ignoring the issue entirely. Depositions are fun. I can't wait.

I think what Karl Arsch is wanting to say is that any company with reserve funds/cash would be well advised to not store it in It is rather reasonable to assume that they use Company Credit Cards / PayPal etc. to cover small expenses and use a mixture of the above mentioned "money lying around" to cover bigger expenses. In combination with credits/loans. I doubt anyone assumed CIG had briefcases full of  lying around in their offices.

The Saddest Robot posted:What you have to realize is that just because Chris Roberts promises a feature doesn't mean that they will develop it. No, that's how "game development" works when you work for Molyneux. Roberts, or other 'visionaries' with pathological inclinations towards scope runaway and over-promising. And it's a formula for generating maximum short-term hype and the expense of long-term credibility, and their legacies are built on one success in the distant past, followed by a string of failures. Well run gaming studios don't have histories of talking up all the feature-sets before they've even locked basic mechanics of play. Well run studios don't talk about their games before they've moved past internal alpha stage development and are well-into beta. Some don't even talk about them until they're in QA stage doing the bugsmashing on a game they've not yet announced and have previously refused to confirm is in development. Like these guys. And crowdfunding is no excuse. Harebrained demonstrated exactly the kind of discipline and restraint that Chris has always lacked in their latest Battletech kickstarter. No stretch goals, promises NOT to expand scope beyond what they were pitching. Their project was in fact a passive-aggressive rebuke of Chris Roberts, and the digs made at Star Citizen are hardly subtle, because Harebrained knows the damage that folks like Chris Roberts and Peter Molyneux cause for the reputation of the industry at large.

Hav posted:I believe that Austin was around 50? if their numbers dipped below that, they wouldn't have to give notice. They'd also be excluded on the basis of consolidating or changing the places of business. As I said back on Sept 24, it looks like they are doing it selectively in order to avoid having to issue a WARN notice. But the location is definitely closing down. And I already heard and posted that they've already signed a lease and moving to a small satellite location at The Arboretum off of the 183 highway. But yeah, the Austin location as we once knew it, and which had 50+ people at one time, is no more.

Their project was in fact a passive-aggressive rebuke of Chris Roberts, and the digs made at Star Citizen are hardly subtle, because Harebrained knows the damage that folks like Chris Roberts and Peter Molyneux cause for the reputation of the industry at large. What makes it even more fun is to look at the history of how HBS arrived at this point. SR:R was following in the over-promising footsteps of that first wave of kickstarters, and about half-way through, they realised this and started cutting back on ideas they had presented during the original campaign. However, they were always very clear about what they were doing and why, so while there was some grumbling, it was almost always of the “…but I suppose that makes sense… fine *mumble-pout*” kind. Even then, they were fairly clear that SR:R would be a first attempt, with all that entailed, and that SR:DF would be more of the same, possibly improved. And that's exactly what happened. They created an engine and a first attempt at a game, took the lessons and put them into the second game they had promised. Then they repaired pretty much any lingering ill will by handing out SR:DF-DC to pretty much everyone as a final example of “this is what we actually managed to make.” Then they moved on to SR:HK and took all those lessons to heart to promise a more focused and less experimental high-quality product, only ever promising more polish, and maybe ever so slightly more of the same, rather than piling on more and more features that people were asking for. Then again, by then, people weren't asking that much any more — the backers had learned a similar lesson too.

A gift from Lesnick for making sure he was comfortable and welcome in Austin. poo poo I still have his wife's desert plants she game me too. I asked CR about his movie industry credentials at the GDC reveal. Somehow, that seems pertinent. I was there all day and night at the 24 hour "end-of-funding" (hahaha) livestream. I provided the champagne, CR's milk for his espresso, and several other food runs to keep everyone going. I'm in the picture of "The Pledge". You remember this thing?  I did the stage management at the first CitCon in Austin alongside Viewmaster. I was on Wingman's Hangar. And I did a lot of production assistance whenever they needed it. Dr. Hawk interviewed me long long long ago, ID'ed as one of THE INVESTORS. It was no big deal back then. I AM THE ONE WHO LAMPS. I was, and still am to a certain extent, one of the spergiest Wing Commander spergs. I kinda consider myself Patient Zero to this whole Star Citizen thing. And yet I feel something is wrong. Something wrong enough to warrant action.

Tank Boy Ken posted:I think what Karl Arsch is wanting to say is that any company with reserve funds/cash would be well advised to not store it in All business should be budgeting a percentage of their monthly income for what is basically emergency money or money easily accessible for projects or unexpected large expenses. It would be it's own line on a P&L, not included in the regular monthly expenses. For example you might have $1000 budgeted every month for general computer hardware, but then someone decides to hang their dry cleaning on a sprinkler head in the office and it floods. You need $100,000 in equipment replaced immediately and can't wait for an insurance payout. Luckily 3% if your monthly income goes to a PIP account or whatever your industry calls it, so you're good. That's essentially what having cash reserves mean. You shouldn't expect to make money off it in a bank. It's there when you need it. In large companies this could be tens of millions of dollars just chillin in an account waiting to be used. I don't like serious posting.
