moveable shape posted:Great post, I think you lay out the options well. You make some interesting points, but I just don't see anyone touching this flaming pile from a buyout perspective. Crobberts and gang have spent the last few years deriding the traditional publishing model of video games and their development. They've sold the idea of being "renegades" to their sea of whales, so much so that they (the whales) use it to viciously defend this poo poo heap whenever they are faced with unpleasant facts and realities. Any publisher that would come in and buy this thing would have the whales breathing down their necks, blaming them for every little thing that was promised but never intended on being implemented in the first place by CIG. From a business perspective, this project is tainted in every which way possible. It doesn't make sense for anyone to come in and take the reins on this thing and have to deal with all of the baggage attached to it. It could end up sinking whomever took the risk.

Kilmers Elbow posted:Brittainian, here - we never see poo poo like that. A lot of the old guys (think WW2, Korea, and some Vietnam) wear them around and it's kind of a thing that a lot of the older Vets do to have some connection to others. My granddad was WW2 and Korea and while he never wore a hat like this, he always struck up conversation with guys that wore them whenever he was out. Met some really cool dudes with some great stories because of those hats. I don't knock these guys at all, because they've seen some poo poo and if they want to wear a hat that proclaims their service, then far be it from me to tell them otherwise.

G0RF posted:I'm just saying they're printing money here with those patches and demand is surely stratospheric. Everyone who is anyone is going to own one. I don't even like the game but I'm thinking of sewing Anvil Aerospace on a Calvin Klein polo and seeing if I command more respect amongst my peers. You'd get more respect with a Battlecruiser 3000AD or Line of Defense tattoo.

Plus, he has every right to defend himself, regardless of how he does it. That's the SA way. Dr. Derek Smart, using his powers for the betterment of mankind

AP posted:Yeah, they get one of those a month, $1,162,221, using the spreadsheet figures, 22nd April - 3rd May, so 12 days. Figure a low 40k average if nothing was happening means ~680k from the sale. It still just blows my mind that they have a somewhat steady stream of income after everything that has happened over the past year or so. Yes, whales and all that, but still it's just hard to grasp that much money *still* coming in. The burn rate has got to be astronomical at this point.

Mr.PayDay posted:I had a *really* lovely day at work and your "caught up with the thread"-gif collection made me laugh, thanks Beexoffel. And Sandi for beeing....on a cast list. The only "transparent" and open view in this Star Citizen project was her boob window imho. Will buy jpeg-ships now. Sadly, there are plenty of whales that have such a crush on Sandi that they buy JPEG's on the prospect that she might become their waifu.

BattleMaster posted:I actually don't know anything about the guy other than his SC-related appearances and his bank of terrible quotes but if it is true that his life is so terrible that the Wing Commander movie is a bright spot by comparison then I'll never say anything bad about him again. I don't know, that's a reason to say even more bad (yet true) poo poo about him.

This is so loving amateur. I shouldn't be surprised though, what with Lesnick still there and being the face of the company alongside Sandi. It's a loving clown show.

Colostomy Bag posted:Yep, instead of spending $1.40 to get a stock photo sans the watermark, pay the artist to remove it. Another bit of proof that their project management is completely non-existent or completely incompetent. How anyone could trust that these people would be able to manage $114 million and counting to deliver anything of functional substance is beyond me.

Palisader posted:Does Sandi have any other headshots? I know she's done modeling but I really get the impression that she did one photoshoot when she was like 25 and has been using it ever since. If you watched that clip that was posted earlier of her in some Roman/Comedy play/demo, it's obvious that she *really* thinks she's an actress with the looks that rival any of the AAA+++ stars. When you have a scam with thousands of whales dreams and masturbatory fantasies that tell you everything that you want to hear, it's easy to see she's buying into her own vanity.

Lemon King posted:The sad part is they're just going to brush this off and act like it never happened. They'll put out some kind of bullshit statement along the lines of "we are committed to delivering the BDSSE and the artist that produced these images was terminated" Or hell, they will probably promote them and put them out in front of the world like Lesnick.

Charles Get-Out posted:It's kind of depressing actually how much citizens try and make the game a 'thing.' There's all this effort and energy being put into a non-starter. And so many of those views come from Goons and other leavers. Of course, they won't acknowledge that. Streaming is fun with some of the SC faithful. Most are completely unhinged from reality, but there are a few that would be alright but they just can't let go of CIG and their SC dreams. Probably because they have spent so much money on it they can't give up the dream.
