I have been trying to wrap my head around some of the posts ive read on the RSI forums and the only thing ive come out of it with is a headache. They somehow think their Space Immersion(TM) will last a minimum of 10 years. Some are even claiming it will be The ONLY game they will play for DECADES!

^This. Elite at least tries to get it right with the glowing heat vents, but realistically all space ships should have huge heat radiator surfaces that fold out when the weapons are fired.

Trouble is if a woman gets more popular with cultists the lich queen would have her done away with. You'd cost an innocent person their job. If they're working at CIG they probably don't have many great options to hand.

Story of my loving life. In my stagehand days, I was one of only a small percentage of female stagehands. Then one day this young woman showed up at one of the venues on her first gig ever, and she wanted to get more work. She started sucking up to the stage manager until she managed to become the assistant stage manager despite not being remotely qualified for the job. She had even successfully ousted the (female) former assistant stage manager out of her job.

Next thing you know, no female stagehands—specifically, no young and/or reasonably attractive female stagehands—were receiving calls for work. It turned out that the new assistant stage manager was deliberately not calling any female stagehands for work, not because we were unqualified, but because she was so desperately insecure and threatened by the presence of other females in the male-dominated industry. She just wanted all their attention on herself.

The other female stagehands and I complained to HR, but since no one could prove anything, nothing came of it. I said gently caress it and got a real job.

Anyway, I thought of that story instantly when I heard about Sandi's alleged extreme jealousy. Given the cash, that little rear end kissing bitch of an assistant stage manager (who STILL isn't doing her job right, from what I hear) could be the next Sandi.

hypothetically, if sandi had zero involvement in this game, do you think it would it be finished (albeit closer to the original scope) by now?

My -100 comment karma confirms your statement, but to be fair, I didn't join Reddit to be a good poster.

fuctifino posted:

Check my post history. I often state that I don't follow Derek, don't play his games and just regard him as another poster in this thread (which is true). I also regularly remind the redditor cultists that I've been mocking SC since 2012, and Derek only started posting here last year.

I might seem like a DerekSmart lackey in that thread. I added the DerekSmart DerekSmart DerekSmart stuff to the OP after someone said a mod would delete it because it wasn't about Derek.

I assume Derek focuses on it because once the game is out (or not) and all the "I spent $1250 on this?" drama is over he thinks it might end up in court. If things do go badly wrong then that's a fairly safe bet and there's a difference between promising a feature that is later cut and saying you have certain qualifications to do something when you don't. The qualifications themselves don't always mean someone is better at a job but that's besides the point. In court proving dishonesty is hard, like say, someone having no intention of adding a feature when they promised it, while proving someone doesn't have a degree from somewhere is extremely easy.

Alright, we wrote something up. Let's see how the comments are on this one. http://www.informationredux.com/index.php/2016/01/25/star-citizens-star-marine-module-officially-cancelled/

B_of_InfoRedux posted:

Well thank you. Cause here's the thing I don't think people grasp, we are two people. We do this because it's something we are passionate about. We aren't making money. I mean seriously, we make like a dollar a month off of the site that cost $5 to host. That's the reality. We haven't even seen a cent of that yet, as we aren't even close to the payout we would need to even begin to monetize it. We aren't doing this for fame, or to be beloved, or any of that poo poo. We are just two people doing what we think is right and what we enjoy doing.

We've considered just giving up on it, but here's the thing it's our dream to do what we love and not be stuck under the boot of some other corporation/employer always having to answer to them. We in all honestly are barely getting by, but we keep going because once again, this is what we love to do. Not to mention, this is less then a year old. It's not like we have massive years of experience doing this.

And that's really the thing about it. We could sit there and be content to work bullshit jobs day in and day out answering to everyone but ourselves, but we're not. We're daring to follow our dream and do what we want to do. If it works, it works. If not, at least we can say we tried. So with that in mind, we would hire an editor, but we can't. Because we'er not that big nor are we that well known to even warrant such. At the end of the day, we don't advertise like everyone else. We aren't shills. We don't bombard people asking for money or followers, etc. We just don't. If you like it, cool. If not, that's cool too.

More then anything, my only interest, THE ONLY THING, that matters to me is this - is my wife happy and have I made her smile/laugh? If the answer is yes, then I could honestly give a gently caress less what anyone else has to say.

I will buy their assets and finish the game in my own vision

Honestly that would be great news for the game. That's like step 2 of getting this thing on track with step 1 being Chris Roberts leaving.

Octopode posted:

One hypothesis requires you to assume that the engineers who built and are intimately familiar with the engine at hand were incapable of integrating gameplay systems changes made to that engine with their own modifications, while the other requires some evidence that the current network implementation is near its capacity, such as trying and failing to recently increase player counts (not even ships) by a small amount. The network and server stack has also traditionally been both CIG and CryTek's biggest problem area, engineering-wise.

She also mentions studying business law and marketing at one of these courses which is a bit odd for an MBA where you are usually expected to come in with a Bachelors in Business. Which is where you'd learn marketing and law basics in the first place.

Hey, your passive-aggressive "yeah nice mails lol I'm skeptic"/"dude I don't care really" response to Beer was lovely and cuntish. One day when Star Citizen has failed you and the community's burned to cinders you will come back here because there's nowhere else to go - and we'll all remember this. You can try to apologize then of course. Or you can choose the classy way of interacting with people by admitting you were wrong, and lo! waters be oiled. Up to you dude.

The thing I find so incomprehensible is Chris' belief that after launching his game(s) (parts) that his company's entire business model will be able to shift from revenue generated from space ship sales to revenue generated from sales of limited amounts of credits and sales of Game Packages. He has said multiple times that he doesn't want the game to be pay-to-win but if what Derek and others say about their money is true

…but then again, the idea of space fighters is in and of itself pretty stupid so it still makes very little sense.

EightAce posted:

Anyone that has ever made an actual game before knows its totally , completely and irredeemably hosed . Beyond hosed , ....fisted even .
But there is a sense of terror and fear beyond words, that if they talk or speak up about concerns they will not only be jettisoned but will never work in the industry again.
Even when they do leave and get another gig they stay silent and haunted ....

True
