For some reason the name "James Brand" sounds oddly familiar. Isn't he supposed to be some kind of 'somebody' in the gaming drama sphere or something?

"I have quite a few tabs open in chrome at the moment" doesn't sound intimidating enough I guess.

In Blacklight: Retribution female characters have notably smaller models and less distinctive silhouettes than the male characters, which is advantageous in that game even if the hitboxes are identical

In Runescape, female characters can get rune armor at level 1+, simply for a few minutes of awkward cybering.

Somehow, my awkward bout with pedophilia on runescape at age 12 never messed me up.

This.

I find it difficult to comprehend the levels of head-up-rear end required to think like this dude does. Sure, ok, maybe Elite isn't his cup of tea, that's fine. Talking up SC as a "working prototype" versus AN ACTUAL, PLAYABLE, RELEASED GAME is an entirely different tier of willful ignorance. Elite ain't perfect, but it's still a game that is an actual game (not a buggy, barely playable mess of a tech demo) that's being developed by a team of competent professionals with realistic goals and experienced management.

I mean, how does the brown sea look at St. Christ of Roberts not only failing to play his own loving game, but failing to UNDERSTAND his own loving game and think "yeah, I am confident that this project is lead by someone who knows what they're doing and totally is not using all this free money to make a lovely mo-cap movie because his lovely live action movie was awful and bombed right alongside his career in film. I shall buy seventeen Idrises now."

I mean, he has absolutely no loving interest in the progress of his own loving game. None. He spent the entirety of citcon jerking off over his script and atrocious mo-cap. He trotted out Gary loving Oldman. He can't even figure out how to run the game, which is what he was handed 100 million loving dollars to do... and people still look at him as if he's competent?

Clearly not a cult.

It's yet another day in the wasteland.


Excerpt from The Oxford SC Dictionary:

deliver |dɪˈlɪvə|
     verb [with obj.]
• delay, postpone, make late — this game was first delivered 14 months ago
• abandon, leave unfulfilled, give up — an alpha really delivers what you expect from a release candidate
• retain, amass, hoard — look at all the money the project has delivered

How are these people not getting that other companies with publishers don't need to reveal their business practices, and typically don't reveal development to anyone besides the publisher. Because it's the publisher's money invested into the game. That's how they avoid controversy.

With Star Citizen, it's the whales' monies. People are treating CIG like they're incredible for having an open development, when CIG has to have an open development, otherwise they'd get crucified for not delivering the game back in 2014. If CIG didn't have an open development, if kickstarters didn't have open development, nobody would loving crowdfund them, because how would you know if ben lesnick is eating your money or not? But they're so loving blind, that ben lesnick is eating their money right in front of them, and the only thing that prevents them from seeing the truth is the building that hides the money being funneled out into Lesnick's jaws.

CIGs financials are the only thing they're not being open about purely because they know they've wasted their money. And these shitizens don't want to see the financials despite totally being entitled to it, because they don't want to discover the truth about their Best drat Space Sim Ever.
