Opening Interior Airplane Adorned Conference Room More than a dozen people comprising the lead programmers, designers, producers and writers for Star Citizen sit around B-52 bomber wing Producer: "Alright, everyone welcome Chris Roberts to the meeting via video call. Chris we've all spent the past couple of months in the lead up to gamescom brainstorming and working on the persistent universe. We are a few months out so we really need a unified vision though, so we have some topics we would like to run by you. Stop us when you wish to discuss something and we can talk about the direction and focus of production going forward. Ready?" Chris: "Yes" Producer: "Okay, We have.... Mission running Bounty hunting populating the landscapes and environments finishing more ships scripting for the AI working on the network code fixing the graphical glitches and hangs working on the patcher streamlining combat persistence player stats and inventories community outreach ......I see you nodding Chris. Which area would you like to focus on" Chris: "Facial Tracking of Course." Producer: ".....What?" Chris: "We need to get a third party branded webcam to better track faces"

Rad Russian posted:At least the positive spin on this conman wasting away backer money is that he's obviously living way beyond his means while banking on getting "Star Citizen money" for the next 10+ years. He'll be back to broke in a couple years because he's an idiot and hopefully no one will give him money ever again. Yeah when people say he has to have siphoned off enough money to live comfortably the rest of his life once the dreams die must not see how he is spending it. The guy buying $16,000 watches, his and hers limited edition porsche, yachtside access to the monaco grand prix, yachting trips to italy, trips to maui and literally countless international first class flights isn't exactly being frugal. Once that kind of person loses access to the people they are scamming and their money then they might reconsider the $20,000 monthly rent on their mansion as being an unnecessary expense.

Only when the cell towers have crumbled to dust will he look toward the sky and think "I have print outs of my blog to show people back at my house!"

Sabreseven posted:I think you miss the point, how high was it during the cretaceous period? Estimates were about 1000-1400ppm if I remember my history lessons, yet the world kept on spinning, life was abundant and diverse. I don't think the various lifeforms around at that point had much in the way of heavy industry. I think I understand why you were a backer that held on until september 2017 before getting a refund now

Sabreseven posted:Firstly, gently caress right off. Secondly, only a dopey oval office would link backing a bad computer game and putting off a refund to views on climate change that don't agree with your own. I did actually make it very clear why I held off refunding, and it had nothing to do with carbon monoxide. Actually the link was between two incredibly stupid things that no rational person would actually do. It isn't so much as an opinion that doesn't agree with my own as it is an opinion that has been widely, repeatedly, laboriously, expansively and completely torn down to it's individual molecules as being intuition based idiocy and ignorant of a consensus of all of science. Which is eerily similar to holding onto your star citizen ships this long in the face of everything you've read or said in this thread for more than a year now. Sabreseven posted:Oh gosh, my views on something completely irrelevant to gaming must mean I'm eager to back scams. If someone repeatedly gets scammed by lies sold to them by people with ulterior motives we call that a trend.

ManofManyAliases posted:I'm not trolling anybody. I'm here to offer a differing opinion than one of group think over a person legitimately trying to make a game of his dreams. You guys libelously pile on, making up poo poo about Roberts being a used car salesman, getting a divorce, or leading people on in a fraudulent venture that anyone offering said dissent is driven down to talk about his/her recipes or digital ship ownership. This is the reason I've gone from talking less about CR's legal rights to do what he does, accounting for a crowd funded project, etc. to just toiling about as a goon on a forum about gay poo poo. So now I just go about my daily job, pop in ever so often and ask if the ELE happened (it appears as though it hasn't even though an ELE is a sudden and mass event and it was "called" a year ago). I think the reason you stopped talking about the law and accounting is you were constantly 100% objectively wrong and turned this into an endless line of the wide array of people who visit this thread taking numbers to brutally own you every time you tried to make a concrete statement so you only recourse is to toil about as a goon on a forum about gay poo poo otherwise your downright insane optimistic takes are swamped under so much real talk that even you feel bad for your dumb opinions.

Sarsapariller posted:I got scammed once when I was 18 (and didn't get a refund). I was trying to put together a little touch screen computer for my car. This was back in 2002 when they weren't quite so ubiquitous and I was building my own. I lost an eBay bid on a perfect little touch screen and then the seller contacted me afterward saying he'd sell me a second one, just send money order to xxx. Well I was stupid and I sent it, and lost three hundred dollars. What you did do was go to Star Citizen and buy in Then get a refund Then buy in again

Derek's cult of personality will last about as long as everyone's patience when this poo poo finally collapses. Two completely different motivations. People here from a wide variety of backgrounds for various reasons have joined together to watch the worlds slowest train crash and will want every bit of information and backer meltdown they can find in the ultimate conclusion to the biggest disaster in gaming history. Derek will be completely focused on telling everyone exactly how he knew every possible detail at every point in space and time until he folds up his own rear end in a top hat into a quantum singularity

Warhawk109 posted:So it just occurred to me, that one of the reasons for constantly shifting development resources between SC and SQ42, and delaying SQ42 in particular, is the UK video games tax relief. If they actually finish SQ42, no more tax credits, correct? Also, could they potentially get in trouble for having F42 work on things related to SC, which hasn't met the sufficiently "British" cultural test, instead of dutifully meeting their obligations to complete the game that falls under the tax relief? I think this is uncharted territory since most game companies are just...you know....making a game? The tax credits aren't usually dealing with an incestuous hydra of scams involving worldwide facilities tied up in over a dozen shell corporations working on what is apparently a quantum superposition of all games at all times

Beet Wagon posted:Has anybody pointed out the almost parody levels of goonfear in this thread yet? I love that goons are basically a myth passed down in song by bards at this point to these people. Almost all of the time it was just someone defecting to goons with information or like a 1 month assignment because nothing was ever secured by pubbies. Mittani was always a long-winded gently caress but boy did his propaganda really actually permanently imprint on some people. Goons are now these lizard creatures that will crawl inside your skeleton and lay in wait for decades. The same concept as Black Ops being this feared, whispered about group that gangs 5x the size would avoid when really we were just fat guys talking about anime while cloaked.

I really want to stress this point, since it addresses the backer vs goon culture war that the cultists will never shut up about. In this hive of goon villainy that game developers tweet was linked and we laughed at it and it was quickly forgotten From r/derekstalkers to r/starcitizen they have been waging a nonstop fight about her tweet with pages and pages of hateful messages, going so far as to attack her on twitter and anywhere they have a voice. Questioning her motives, her gender and attacking her in a multitude of ways constantly for days now. This is a perfect representation of "The Community" of Star Citizen and everything we make fun of here. We aren't even that mean to Derek and we make fun of him constantly.
