Dear sir or madam,

I am deeply interested in this investment opportunity. However, I believe your last sentence got cut off, unfortunately. I await your reply with bated breath.

No Man's Sky has a Sandworm and its Star Citizen as gently caress. I saw it twice yesterday and thought I was just too slow to scan it or shoot it down. Turns out there's no way to interact with it at all. Just something that every once in a while shakes your screen and shows up on desert planets.

Yeah that one is absolutely genius. Literally, without exaggeration 100% free money. And no chance of being sued because they are pretty clear about what they are selling (which is nothing).

With the level of complexity that the community seems to want for Star Citizen, i can't WAIT to see how CI-G 'handles' bugs like Dwarf Fortress has had with it's dead-drunk cats.

It's funny how they are always massaging the community:

"One of the reasons we wanted to do this event again is because we've always known our community is FANTASTIC..."

Yet they still fail to tell this fantastic community when this 50 player arena game will turn into a proper MMO.

Let's be fair, the fact is that - right now - selling fake useless artificially limited bullshit is a great business model and its all over the place. I have so many extremely capable and smart friends doing research in the area of cryptocurrency/blockchain that is not even funny.

From Pokemon cards (at least it's real cardboard) to NFTs there is so much money slushing around looking for anything to invest into that Earth 2 or something similar makes a shitload of sense. Rare=valuable even if (or maybe specially if) the rarity is artificial and arbitrary.

I'm laughing at how long it's taken them to iterate on the first one, I mean, there are what, two things that are different about this re-release and it's taken them six four months to push it over the finishing line.

Prey and Diablo 3 spent about 11 years from conception to release but Prey also got bumped from studio to studio for a while then completely rebooted a few times

Oh there's a whole new wave of them now, and they've come out swinging, with lawyers ready to hand out defamation lawsuits against people who dare question the project. The lawyers are on staff before they even design the game, I wonder why that would be?

Chris has paved the way for a new kind of PC gaming - just not the kind his backers wanted or expected.

I'm 100% sure that Star Citizen will come out with some CitizenCoin / StarCoin where backers can trade real money for them. They'll be used to regulate the internal game market, where prices will only go up! CIG will get revenue from all trades because they'll primarily be the exchange.

Buy an Idris now before its too late!

Matt McMuscles just did a Wha Happun on Final Fantasy 7 remake which I guess came out okay. But as a general rule development Hell does not lead to good games.

Today's wander through the garden of mass delusion over at Spectrum sees them discussing life insurance and taxes - apparently these 2 exciting features are coming soon to this its-a-spacegame-honest.

Nothing screams Star Wars fantasy more than life insurance premiums. I can only imagine the emergent gameplay.

The first one could be a sensible post, because there are a lot of people these days who have not visited their workplace in months, maybe even a year. Although I think most top level executives usually stop by the office at some points.

But the follow-up makes it seem that Sandi really has not given SC a single thought in ages.

they're not very interactive at all. CDPR promised tons of stuff for their NPCs (just like a certain other developer):

The big difference is that when you buy 2077 you know all this. You get the game and it is what it is. With Star Citizen there’s no game, just dreams, dreams you’ve paid $400 to have.

I hope all those clouds will have sentient AI that makes them indistinguishable from real clouds. Flying through a cloud in game should have emotional impact to that cloud. Does it get more dense? Did you separate it from a part of its cloud it liked most? Will it have anger towards that player and remember them next time they encounter each other?
