wouldn't surprise me to see them limit the number of ships available in the first series of 3.0 releases

according to that one drinkin dude, there's thousands of hours worth of work refitting all the ships to the new "item 2.0" standard

Wow, it's almost as if producing all your assets before the gameplay is nailed down is a bad idea

I wonder how many thousands of hours of work it'll take to refit all the ships for item 3.0

Hey! I love reading the SC thread over here at Something awful and have came to the conclusion that even IF this game comes out it's so F'ing p2w that i probable wont even play it...Guildwars 2's cash store was enough to make me stop playing but i gave SC a pass as it really did seem awesome.
Things have gone too far and long now and I'd like to ask you fine fellows to direct me to any Information on obtaining a refund and will there be any complications that I'm from Norway...also I hear you can't get your subscription payments back but as i subscribed to see a game made and that's not happening maybe there is hope there too.

Having to keep offering new ships to fund the developement of already sold ships is a much better idea.

Hm... using funds from newer investors to pay off what's owed to previous investors. That sounds familiar for some reason

Wait did someone get an actual refund to troll the refunds subreddit or did they just pretend to.


In either case, what was any of this supposed to accomplish.

You should totally throw in another 40 grand so when you refund it no one will believe it, then you can claim a double inverse upside troll against the evil Derek Smark and Goons when you finally post your bank receipt and then we will all laugh at you anyway.

Ugh, I just found out the grossest thing about pedophile FuzzyModem. :(

But the good news is that from 13 counts he did indeed plead guilty to one consolidated charge as part of a plea deal and the penalty is 30-60 years, so.... what... is it 2037 is the next we could possibly see him again?

Touchdowntim55 is gonna right some wrongs.

quote:

Please read the whole thing before clicking the downvote button.
So the bug countdown to each point release is what's being given to the backers, Erin is in there telling his guys to work on these buglists and we're being shown it in a video, the backers will then be watching these buglists as a countdown to the next release - so Erin is removing himself from the equation and putting his devs right up against the backers and that's what this little piece of theatre was about and the change to the point release schedule.
Their job is stressful enough and putting them on blast like that publicly not only doesn't give the backer any additional information but makes for a more stressful work environment. I would not allow this to be done to my employees. It would come through me.
Leaders and project managers need to shield their employees from the customers/other leaders and act as the go between. The animation artist shouldn't have to be worrying how they look on camera and if they managed to fix the bug they were called out publicly to work on to tens of thousands of people.
What do you guys think?

Great responses already to this serious ethical issue

Despite that none of these things are like scientific discoveries, what does 1:1 scale mean in a computer game? If they're tracking locations down to planck length, I'll give them 1:1, otherwise, it's completely meaningless.

Every place in the USA that is not New York needs to stop making pizza. You are all bad at it. Pumpkin spice does not belong on pizza. Neither does pineapple. If you can't make a slice that's good enough without piling gimmicky poo poo onto it, you shouldn't be making pizza. It's loving disgusting. Not all toppings are bad, but for gently caress's sake, you don't see people cramming random fruits and vegetables into other food items, stop doing it to pizza!

This would actually be a relatively smooth exit strategy for the Roberts bros.

Erin fakes heart attack and steps down as F42 head. Crobblers steps down as CEO to "take care of his beloved brother" and hands the CIG reigns over to the capable hands of [insert scapegoat here] who will make sure the BDSSE gets finished as promised.

That's the spinning ice tunnel at Universal Studios Hollywood, but with a tarp over the roadway portion the tram drives on. It's a mindfuck to be a passenger on it, though driving is probably a bit easier because you can focus on the road in front of you with your forward facing view but I bet it still takes a bit of training not to gently caress up
