ShredsYouSay posted:Remastered Wing Commander? Why? It would be like producing a 4k print of troll 2. Or a monastically excellent calligraphic version of William Rees McGonagall's poems. Hey, a goon just released a remastering of Manos, so I guess it's not unheard of.

G0RF posted:What is, to me, really interesting is that Sandi-- marketing and business genius Sandi-- seems to believe they'll have up to half a million new backers in the next 6 months. Either she is lying thru her teeth (always possible with her) or she is deluded in the extreme. That is an insanely bullish projection and doesn't seem grounded in trend data. A marketing professional worth their weight usually avoids making conspicuously aggressive revenue projections -- even if they have reason to hope for a breakaway success-- as it is always better for your surprises to be upside, not downside. One has others applauding your genius, the other has you apologizing for your myopia. The strategy is probably to keep anyone on the fence from bailing by convincing them that there will be more than enough new-blood to make up for those that are fleeing. LastCaress posted:Wouldn't it be normal for people to spend less just before a big sale? I think someone said that it's quicker to buy with store credit. So the whales: 1) buy ships before the sale 2) return them for store credit 3) use the credit during the sale to quickly get "limited" ships.

A Neurotic Jew posted:wrt to the escape pod question: Chris says the repercussion of not using an escape pod is that you "will lose a life", like it's an arcade game. What does losing a life mean in an MMO? lmao, Chris-R wants this to have permadeath?!? Does he have any clue- Beet Wagon posted:A long time ago they wrote up an insane and confusing thing about how death is going to "work" in Star Citizen. Something about you die but there's a chance you can be revived with some negative side effects but if you can't then your 'next of kin' inherits all your poo poo and you play as that guy or something. I'd wager that's what he's referring to. Oh, so it's not permadeath at all, just a convoluted re-spawn mechanic. ![]()

EDIT: ^^Screw that. Others here have been getting much larger refunds for purchases made at the very start. These jerks don't deserve the time of day; go right to your bank and start the chargeback process. You'll probably see your money much sooner^^^D_Smart posted:As I posted a few weeks back, my sources tell me that it probably will, if Chris has his way. This despite the fact that none of it is "production" ready. If they DO release "something", two things to remember related to the quality: When you say that none of it's production ready, how bad do you mean?

It's also just as likely that Chris is being willfully delusional (or just plain ol' delusional) and is just elated he no longer has to share any of the profits with a nasty goon naysayer.

Loiosh posted:That'll be entertaining in AC 2. They haven't clarified if they have the ships 'locked' to the player. I saw during the Bugsmashers episode that there's a security computer listed in the pipe debug* which would indicate that they made have some form of hacking computer control planned for the future. For AC 2, who knows what'll make it. Oh god, now I'm thinking that someone at CIG loved the PipeDream minigame from Bioshock and wants that to be how hacking works in this not-game. ![]() SirPhoebos fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Nov 19, 2015 |

I just realized something: Like the 2.0 limited release, could Chris-R be straight up lying about the availability of $30 dollar packages as a way to hide the fact that no new players are buying in from the whales? EDIT: More likely that Whales are buying them for sweet referral points, I'll admit.

I remember following Master of Orion 3 when it was in development and when it finally came out, I somehow convinced myself that it was the best thing ever for a few weeks before I finally realized it was poo poo. Looking back, I'm pretty grateful that Kickstarter didn't exist when I was in college.

Between the anniversary flowers tweet and suddenly wearing a ring that she hasn't ever worn in public appearances, including her CitCon reveal speech, it seems REALLY odd. From what I understand, they tried to cover up the fact they were married for reasons we can only speculate, Derek called them out at some point, and her response has been " ![]()

Lord_NeckBeard posted:I bet the reason that Lord Smart is going all "it ain't coming out" is that they took out a bunch of loans and have actually spent around $90 million, but without much of anything to show, and a fuckton of debt. If they have loans to pay off, then the inevitable slide in revenue = bankruptcy. They CAN'T just reduce staff as they need to if they also have a mortgage to pay off. It's been speculated that the reason people have been getting refunds from multiple sources is because they need to maintain certain account minimums as a condition of their loans.

How likely is it that the 10-hours of cutscenes for SQ42 ultimately sees the light of day as a Scy-Fy Channel mini-series?
