Is that $100,000 a typo?

I would be tempted to fork out 100k if I could decide who lived and who died on the space court.

Amounts like that takes time to clear and get into the end bank account

Or Chris is still farting around in his motion capture suit to get to a table to sign things.

Just had a thought.

Have they ever mentioned any hardware requirements for hosting this all on their side?
As in server space, server specs, locations or anything to do with the physical nature of hosting the universe.

For the life of me I can't think of any.

An Enron type scandal with shell companies siphoning money all over the place / hiding losses and numerous other financial malfeasance would neither shock nor surprise me at this point in time. I also predict that the games press will be woefully under equipped to deal with it because they mostly have the business reporting skills of a stunned hedgehog and will run spend most of their energy running around asking 'how could this happen?' and stating the obvious.

This.
But with a release of a half finished product, and Peter Molyneux type speak from Chris claiming its finished and blaming the world for why its not better. But his NEXT project will be.
Then we hear nothing from him for several years, and then Star Colony is announced.

Definitely. And then he'll be laughed out of the room for carrying a form of media that no-one can use, because time travel or no, we're still talking CIG-level planning here.

But then a second time portal opens, and its Mecha-Chris.
He shoots the time traveler with his arm laser, takes the disk and says "I just had an idea....", and steps back into the portal.

I'm curious if the 1k limit thing is so they can "release it" without releasing it. I mean, maybe just nobody with a Twitch account gets an invite? It's like Schrodinger's video game.

Give 100-250 to the long term suckers highest backers so encourage them to give more money.
250 to streamers to show it off for free and encourage people who haven't access to give more.
499 given to sock accounts to fake post how great it is.

XK posted:

I saw someone get in a turret and operate it. The ships seem to have problems with more than one person on them at a time. I saw a guy phase out of his ship when someone else flew away with it. Then it hung there over the pad, he jet packed up into the bay, and when he tried to enter a crew door the center of the screen pinched like it was doing the warp drive, then the ship ejected itself from around him and appeared over the opposite side of the pad.

Someone had a description of this release last night that completely nailed it. It's an object viewer. You can "fly" around, there's hints of neat things hidden about, the individual assets look good, but it's almost all "look but don't touch". You could have nearly the same experience zooming around in a model viewer.

The engine is obviously designed for ship movement. It looks like they have just tried to scale that down for the characters. Problem with this is that it makes the characters movement too 'floaty'.
The characters move like unity character asset packs I have seen on one of Jim Sterling's piss take videos.

Seeing a lot of 'gently caress Elite Dangerous' on streams the last two days from the cult.
So just as a reminder, Elite Dangerous sent out their 100th news letter today celebrating how things have changed since 2013.
Including what you could do since the first public access long long ago.
And they are featuring their first 'expansion' to the game that is out soon.
And they have it on two platforms.
And cost less than $9 million.

So SC = lol.
