Given that they've been making GBS threads out faces lately (albeit captured) I'm going to guess that we're going to see a prototype of their revolutionary person maker. But you're probably correct.

Also TIL AMD and other hardware manufacturer advertising campaigns are word of mouth advertising.

Faces? Are you saying that we might see more of this?

I'm not going to try to pretend like I care about Octopode's lovely posts any more than that, and especially not going to pretend like my statements about how bad they are make any difference weighed against him actually ceasing to make the posts.

That said, as a functioning human being, I can at least ask him to stop and hope he does so.

Shut up Octopode.

If you read your link, deep missions usually ended up with high casualties until they ran with a fighter escort;

"Such high losses of air crews could not be sustained, and the USAAF, recognizing the vulnerability of heavy bombers to interceptors when operating alone, suspended daylight bomber raids deep into Germany until the development of an escort fighter that could protect the bombers all the way from the United Kingdom to Germany and back."

Really dumb arguments in a space game, though.

So once this all finally collapses, what's Chris going to be doing? Some people were saying that he could use those mocap studios, but Star Citizen is just going to be more proof that you can't give the guy any money or authority without spelling the doom of your project. Is it all just going to be small vanity film projects for Sandi, or is he going to try another video game scam?

And this clearly isn't enough to stop those dastardly griefers. I think in cases of EXTREME GRIEFING such as attending 890 Jump parties sans invitation CIG should use backer funds to hire professional assassins and terminate these monsters

Obviously anything at or below 125k is probably too low (nobody is spending over a grand a month on this poo poo. At least I hope not). I suspect the actual range is between 500k - 250k. Any lower than that and the amount spent per person just goes up too high for it to be rational

an amount of spending too high to be rational is $1

In the wonderful world of Chris Roberts' Star Citizen, there will be no warlords, griefers will be banned before they can even log in, and the only PvP encounters will be meeting gamer girls who want to gently caress you

The thing that seemed super weird to me was the way Chris was CONSTANTLY complaining about his game. Sandi needs to teach him how marketing works.

He was REALLY MAD about the chat UI for some reason. I haven't played 2.0, but it looks like it has a perfectly serviceable little chat window. But apparently it's the most horrible, ugly chat interface ever and must be scrapped and redone immediately

So given all the red flags that CIG have been eagerly waving at backers who have completely ignored them, an interesting question is raised:

What would CIG have to do to get the backers to turn against them, and not just just doublethink it away as being part of the original plan/good for the game/inspired game design?

Cancel interstellar travel? Murder one of the whales? Remove birds from the game?

I want to see one of the turbowhales order something at McDonalds.

"I bought two burgers, and I paid $2,000 for them to show my support to the organisation! So far I've only been given one of the burgers, and it doesn't have any meat or any other fillings. This is normal, however, and if you knew anything about food production, you would know that things change during the development process. Personally, I am extremely impressed with McDonalds' progress so far!

Some people might tell you that this is unacceptable, and that I should have had both of my burgers by now, but those people are in league with the evil Burger King! In fact, I'm going to go on twitter and tell the Burger King to kill himself or die of cancer, brb"
