The existence of a drink mixing minigame isn't what bothers me.

What bothers me is that the drink mixing minigame was implemented before the base game even existed. That just screams bad project management, a needless focus on minutiae while ignoring the big picture.

Star Citizen has currently what, almost a million customers? If we make the assumption that the game will both release and be good, it's not outlandish to also assume that it could sell another million copies. Croberts and friends will only tolerate the whales as long as they are necessary. If the game ever manages to sell at least an additional million copies CIG is going to drop the big backers in an instant. Arma 3 has sold over 2 million copies and it's a far more niche product than the theoretical great game SQ42/SC combination.

Yes let's put this guy who doesn't work on the game on the show about the game.

Oh wait now I remember why he's on the show. Remember when sandis racism allegations were not completely believable cause we thought nobody would be that crazy at work? Lol

Now I definitely think those racist and pubeist allegations are true.

One of these does not belong.

Update: Cloud Imperium's head of communications David Swofford got in touch to clarify a few points. As various readers have pointed out, the reason for the higher prices is because of VAT laws within the EU:

"Euro laws mandate that VAT is included in the price. If Phil had his monitor turned on to US$ currency, then it will show up just as he depicted in his screen capture (assuming he had UK listed as his country). In the US, you aren’t mandated to include sales tax in the selling price, but you can bet that when you get to check-out, that tax will be added (depending on the state where you are purchasing)."

In response to our comments that gift cards having VAT included on them meant that buyers were paying double VAT if they used the gift card - once for the gift card, then again on the items they purchased with the gift card - David explained CIG's fix:

"The system is engineered explicitly so that you don’t pay double tax. If you apply store credit to an item in your shopping cart, we decrease the base price of the package by that amount.

"If I buy a $100 gift card and my country is in the EU then I will be charged VAT. It is the law that we must display all prices inclusive of VAT.

"If I go back to the storefront and my country is in the EU I will see ships with VAT values displayed (as per the law). If I put a $100 ship in my cart (which is displayed as $120 inclusive of VAT), then go to checkout and apply $100 in store credit from my gift card, then you are done, you don’t owe anything. If you put $50 in store credit then you’d owe $50+$10 in this example, and so forth.

"In short, we don’t double charge VAT. And you’re not going to be taxed on anything but new money."

That's the guy, I thought I recognised his name. Wikipedia credits him as director and programmer, if that's accurate then this is a sad turn of events because I liked those games. Why did you throw your lot in with this dumpster fire, Tony, when you could have been kickstarting a new crusader game?

Not as clear as the first one, but yeah, it is very odd (SC is super janky so it is hard to tell what is jank and cuts)

Isn't the team that creates TES/Fallout games ~100 people?

while Fallout 3 had around 70 people working on it, Skyrim saw the team increase to roughly 100.

Is it any good? It's getting hammered in Steam reviews.

And as mentioned, they are developing 2 games simultaneously... trying to unify systems, features, tech, and assets between them. two moving targets. that's a lot of logistical overhead *no* other studios have ever faced. as a new studio without any established pipelines.

@the titanic - take a look at the responses - this is how i know they don't have anything to say when faced with facts, or won't acknowledge when i highlight potential problems. they just make noises


is there anything wrong with that, actually? if those years get them to the finish line?

Yeah, no. KoA actually came out and was playable (and actually fun for the most part). It also had amazingly good graphics given it's high potato compatibility.
