Your credibility is 0.

Actually, Derek is batting over .500 on detailed predictions regarding CIG's future-- which is considerably better than CIG's record.

As amazing as this is to type (I honestly can't believe my brain is letting my fingers type it), "Derek Smart is one of the most credible authorities rendering judgment on Cloud imperium at this time."

I know this has proven a very difficult thing for Star Citizen backers to accept. It runs counter to the triumphalist "I've come to save PC Gaming and create the Best drat Space Sim Ever!" narrative of Chris Roberts and to the "destroyer of Coke Machines and producer of much derided games" reputation of Derek Smart. Yet the narratives are irrelevant to the facts since July, and the fact is, Derek has predicted CIG's steps with eerie accuracy.

We do not yet have confirmation as to their financial standing. Derek's claims that CIG was down to an 7 figure cash reserve as of late summer is perhaps his most outrageous claim of all-- yet it seems telling that Ortwin and Chris ignored this particular whopper in their detailed replies to the Escapist article. Nothing would have been easier to refute-- and no other claim The Escapist (and formerly Derek Smart) was more dire about the state of things at Cloud Imperium.

But even if Derek is proven wrong on this point, he's still batting over .500. His credibility is unfortunately higher than you estimate.

You're supposed a grown up man, but you're nothing more than a bully.

Well, I'd agree Derek can be a bully, but in ways both good and bad, he's considerably more than that.

quote:

At this point this 'threat assessment' was a compliment.

I can think of no individual on this planet who has proven a greater threat to CIG than Derek Smart, save for Chris Roberts and Sandi Gardiner.

Assuming this train manages to keep going for a good while longer, I still think saying "the graphics look a bit dated to me" will be both true and result in amazing levels of denial.

There is one simple thing for me.

If it turns out CIG executives have been buying first class plane tickets using backer funds I would be very disappointed.

I can understand flying business class or premium economy and then upgrading with their own money to first class.

On "Reverse the Verse" after Citcon, there was an interesting exchange.

Thomas Hennessy was addressed by the crew - he was behind the camera, and Sandi mentioned flying with him back from the UK. The camera was turned by Jared to face Thomas and ask benign questions about the trip, to which he replied something like, "Yeah, Sandi and I flew back together. She was in the upstairs area--"

Which prompted a quick reply from Sandi off-camera, "Don't worry folks it was still Economy."

I went and dug around on double decker planes flying international routes. It seems like the majority reserve upstairs for Business Class and First Class.

I'm not saying it's impossible Sandi was telling the truth. Just that I was already laughing when Thomad made his comment and before Sandi finished her retort, simply because the first thing that popped into my mind was "Well of course she flew first class!"

(I'm sorry, Sandi, if I'm judging you unfairly...)

Just want to point out, to be completely fair, that A380 used by most British Airways UK bound flights from US have a lot of economy seats upstairs.

I'm glad you posted this --- because as much as the cynic in my would like to believe the worst at all times, I know that doing so isn't really fair or reasonable... I've only flown on a double-decker plane once in my life-- and on that flight, I did fly upstairs in the swanky business class seats. That certainly colored my perception, and perhaps unfairly.

So let it be noted that I'd amend my prior anecdote, and acknowledge that the possibility exists that Sandi was telling the honest truth about that particular issue.

We won't get any detailed information about their financial standing if they don't want to. Forget about that it's just Smart's wet dream. And I strongly hope they don't have millions just lying around.

We likely won't. Save for Bootcha, who has a right as an investor to require that disclosure. I wouldn't expect him to share that here, but the fact that he's already completely lost hope in the management team, based on his own research, should give you pause, as should the fact that you sincerely hope they DON'T have millions just lying around. (Cash is their lifeblood, and the less of it they have, the greater the likelihood they will fail to deliver 'The Best drat Space Sim Ever'. Just FYI.)

Star Marine was/is a fiasco. They are rebuilding it from scratch, but this isn't the end of days. As long as they have enough money they continue to produce these games and either they succeed or they don't, we certainly can't change that.

Hey, we agree on a second thing. Yet you don't seem to agree with yourself, since only sentences ago you said you hoped they don't have millions lying around. Unless you are rooting for it to fail, which you obviously aren't, then you should consider doing the work of reconciling your contradictory opinions. Cognitive dissonance is a burden to those afflicted with it, and you deserve better than to suffer from it unnecessarily.

Karl_Ramseier posted:

(Derek) is a human being desperately seeking attention.

When has he ever not been? Yet here again, we agree. Unfortunately, in his lifelong quixotic quest for attention, he finally seems to have struck Spindletop. He has the attention of hundreds of thousands, thanks in no small part to the inability of the Star Citizen zealots to ignore him. In so doing, they elevated the gadfly into a SuperVillain, helped turn media spotlights on him in the process, and ultimately prompted embarrassing and legally ill-considered overreactions from both Roberts AND Ortwin. Sandi, too, even-- between repeated tweeted 'discoveries' of dubious proofs of her educational credentials, laughingly disingenuous claims at Citcon that "Chris is my husband, it's no secret!", and the emotional resignation-that-wasn't speech she gave the same day.

You guys are exaggerating everything bad and the Redditors everything good.

Unfortunately, history seems to be conforming more to the perceptions of goons than spacenerds. If it wasn't, we'd have a Best drat Space Sim Ever by now, right? Instead we have a few modules, a vanishing FPS, a ship production backlog of over 70% against sold inventory, perpetually missed release dates, a miserable flight mechanic (along with promises to improve it), a Retaliator that can't stay visible in a highly managed "tour" of the PU that looked more like a bad ragdoll flyover and an only slightly updated version of the ending of Carpenter's "Dark Star".

Aren't travel expenses for business trips tax deductible? If it's really no big deal, why would she even get defensive about it?

She was concerned with the public image issue that would arise from perceptions that she chose to upgrade and enjoy the more expensive and luxurious seats in Business Class and First Class. This particular issue-- of reckless misuse of funds to afford luxurious indulgence-- is one that she's grown more eager to avoid, in the face of accusations of CIG-subsidized Porsche leases and rental property in Pacific Palisades...

We already discussed that. But I am curious, given your enthusiasm, if you can clarify what "Full product in a year" specifically refers to?

1 - Squadron 42 (If this- is it the commercial release? If yes, is it the first chapter of missions? All missions?)
2 - The Persistent Universe (If this, will it include all ships thusfar sold, 100 Star Systems, 4 alien languages, space pets, and everything else listed in Stretch Goals? How many players will be supported per instance?)
3 - The full commercial release of Star Citizen (Both of the above?)

If you know, please confirm. If you don't, that's okay-- but then what exactly are you excited about?

The craziest part about this mixing minigame is that so much of the full version of the game is required in place for it to serve any purpose

-They have to build the ship that basically a passenger plane (it's just a jpg right now)
-They have to make the ship flyable
-They have to have multi-crew in for the many seats inside
-They have to program NPCs that actually want a place to go
-They have to program NPCs to have individual demands
-They have to program ability to travel from star system to star system
-They have to program places to land
-They have to program a way to drop off and load NPCs
-They have to have a working economy to insert pricing

I think it's even crazier that that jpeg-- and all it represents-- made it through multiple parties inside CIG without someone actually saying "Hell no we're not releasing that! We're making the Best drat Space Sim Even, not some dumbed-down remake of BarSim!

Who made this? You're fired. Go. The devs have enough real crap to worry about without having to deal with some flash mini-game for the dumbasses who bought the Spacebus."

An artist designed it. Ben approved it. Sandi approved it. Chris approved it.

That is all that anyone need know about the future of Star Citizen.

What you have to realize is that just because Chris Roberts promises a feature doesn't mean that they will develop it.

This is how game development works.

If you're being ironic, ignore the following correction.

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.

"Let me go ahead and give this blanket answer for everything that you hear about in 10 for the Chairman and ATV and everything. These are - they're intentions. There's the things we would like to do. There's the things that we sign our people to explore, to figure out - you know, go and see about making this happen. Then there's the challenge. Then there's - going through and figuring out how to make all this happen. Not everything's going to become a reality exactly the way we spoke about it; not everything's going to work with every other system; it's an exploration - that's what development is. So that's probably why I don't know anything about it because we haven't actually done any work on it yet."

Yes, that's exactly what defenders of a pathologically overpromising, under delivering, scope-creeping once successful repeatedly unsuccessful game developer have to say. They know (NOW) they have to start deflating the expectations bubble that Chris Roberts has, once again, overinflated.

If you think is standard operating procedure at well-run game dev studios, I encourage you to play more games than Freelancer, Fable, and Daikatana.

Hey Karl. Let me vette.

I got a WC FMV helmet prop. 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.

So glad you posted that. I was going to go back and paste that pic in earlier but figured if you were dealing with CIG bullcrap and they were watching your actions here it might cause problems.

Listened to the Hawk interview and watched the Wingmans with Bootcha on it. So low key about everything and such a generous supporter of the early CIG crew.

CIG doesn't deserve to have classy investors, Bootcha. But it does buoy the soul to know you've got the legal right to cause trouble- and that Chris and Sandi just can't fire, ban, or ignore you. I guess once you're out we can root for its failure without reservation.

I nominate you to make the "Citizen Con" documentary the world desperately needs right now. Crowdfund it and I'm down for a donation. You throw Beer, Wingman, James, the Days, and the rest of the inside witnesses in (with Derek serving as the colorful outside provocateur), and you are only a couple of years away from taking the Audience Prize at Sundance.

People saying it's going to come out soon- what are you basing that on? Seems like all they've done is show some more demo vids, but I mean... they showed demo vids of a fully working FPS game last year, so we know that's not a real indication of anything. All I've seen other than that is that "Ten days" CS ticket (which is an odd loving way to leak the information).

Yeah, it didn't have a name attached to it, which seems slightly fishy. Though there was that earlier refund request response which seemed to suggest the user might want to wait until they saw what CIG had coming soon, so I don't know what to think.

How old is she? Given she claims she's 22 In this 2005 article. So was she born in 1980 (as she claims on imdb) or 1983?

Derek will probably chime in with info. I personally have a guess but I just don't like speculating too much without solid data, and really, her potential misrepresenting of her age is a pretty minor offense in the grand scheme. It's probably the most sympathetic lie she would tell (because we all know Hollywood has no use for unknown female properties in their 30s or above.)

I will say that Sandi herself has created a biography so full of contradictions that, if nothing else, we should know better than to trust her as a reliable source. She lies about herself-- a lot-- and brags about herself just as much. How she reached this age-- whatever it is-- without learning that true confidence in self doesn't require perpetual acts of self-congratulation ("I'm currently reading LotR in French", "I train in MMO twice a week with a Six Dan Blackbelt", etc.), attention seeking (like dressing way too provacatively for work), misrepresentation of self (educational credentials / age / professional accomplishments) and alleged humiliation of subordinates (The Escapist accounts) is the bigger mystery to me.

That's crap. He's been making songs and videos about Star Citizen the whole time. Back when he was showing up at CIG Austin with gifts of free beer for the crew and volunteering stage work for CIG events.

The symbolic of a bittersweet goodbye to Star Citizen is priceless. It's sad only inasmuch as its sad to see how badly CIG has gone off course.

Let's talk Swedish Mafia.

quote:

"Indeed, Sweden has been pretty good at exporting its own, home-grown gangsters.

One of the first home-grown criminal networks to use mafia techniques such as threats and violence as a business concept was the Uppsala Mafia. Having started out by selling steroids at the gym, the gang eventually achieved worldwide notoriety after luring international companies into investing in Gizmondo, a company that built on the back of a handheld gaming console that barely reached the market.

In total, Gizmondo was drained of 1.6 billion kronor. The scam got international attention last year after Stefan Eriksson, one of the crew's top dogs, split his seven million kronor Ferrari Enzo in half, crashing into a telephone pole in Malibu, California while driving at 250 kilometres per hour."

Serious question: Is Derek dead or kidnapped? He was on the trail of new information in the hours leading up to his silencing. Promising to crack open the story with even more new information than we could handle...

This is all starting to get a little Dorothy Kilgallenish... Right when she was going to crack the big story...
