"Great scam, Star Citizen stole mgławicę from EVE Online."

A subtle title.

A little fail, the game that holds the account for more than half a billion zlotys ($ 142,210,526) recorded such wtopy. Yet people think that Cloud Imperium Games for saving graphics, or worse, stolen from other games

It's okay, CIG won't sue because being called a scam by an online presence is no big deal and CIG is being really benevolent right now and they should get on their knees and kiss the hand of Roberts.

UPDATE: It turned out that the station with photos of Star Citizen is also stolen. But this time not with EVE Online, but Destiny

Have any commandos reacted to the new Mass Effect?

quote:
Development of Mass Effect: Andromeda began in 2012. In total, the project featured a team of over 200 developers working out of BioWare's Austin, Edmonton, and Montreal studios. It was built using the Frostbite 3 engine, which required that BioWare construct all systems, tools, and assets from scratch. By April 2014, the game was considered to be in the "middle" of the development process by BioWare studio director Yanick Roy. The game's release date was originally planned for Q4 2016, but was eventually delayed to March 21, 2017.

It doesn't matter that they'll release a game in a shorter amount of time with less people. It won't hold a candle to the awesome that Star Citizen will be.

The programmers are hosed.

There's no way to build the dream game because their talent pool is devastated and the fuzzy, incomprehensible and inadequate designs that fail to work together just don't. It's a broken concept with no thought outside of "oh I have this idea!" from the CEO.

The ONLY people they have left who can produce content is artists.

Now imagine you have to show fake progress, and pretend to be making headway, 5 years into a hopeless project. Now also imagine you are addicted to drugs and money and care nothing about the actual game or your workers. You just want to feel like Scarface 24/7.

You try leaning on your programmers but they can't help you. Programming is actually hard.

So you have your art department. They can whip up poo poo fast, they can build a new model or a new movie to showcase "features" still in "production". They can make art that feigns progress.

Now imagine you are the artists. The whole work load of the company is on your shoulders. There's no game to show, there's no fun gameplay to make things better. There's art. Your art. And the boss is making demands 24/7. From "build me a loving sandworm for my video!" to "we need a loving space motorcycle!" to "I want a Jupiter mining base!" and "concept ships! Concept ships!"

You're going to get burned the gently caress out. I imagine it started off good, where they made stuff and cared. They may have GISd stuff, but they'd put effort into masking it, and it'd never be something from the first 20 results of "moon base" or "nebula".

The art backbone of CIG is showing cracks. Once that's gone, CIG will have literally nothing to fall back on. Every rushed, anger-inspired art piece is one more straw closer to the whole mess coming down. The artists are getting frustrated and I bet they are hugely overwhelmed and overworked, and frankly probably just a little bit upset with how they are treated.

So yeah, gonna use pick #4 in the GIS search for "nebula". Is it ripped off from another game? Don't care, that's what the crop tool is for.

Keep on doing what you're doing, CIG! Continue to be gamings biggest embarrassment for the next couple decades!

Wait. So you're on the record as saying that there were no departures on Friday?

Derek you are saying they are going to have half the employees they do now by March?

TrustmeImLegit posted:

Contractors get paid more right? Like a lot more? But they can be axed fairly quickly I think too.

Smart long term thinking.
