"$90 million for what he's pitching, even with a competent leadership, you couldn't do," CS1 wrote. "The thing you have to remember about Chris Roberts is that, before this, he hadn't made a game in twelve years. He has no concept of what can and can't be done today with that amount of money, or for a game like this. Chris Roberts hadn't made a game in twelve years, and he was actively ignoring the input of people who have been in and a part of the industry that entire time."

awesome.

the whole thing is gold, what a pro click

Other sources expressed concern over what they call "irresponsible spending." Complete portions of the game have been stripped down and entirely redone, utilizing extra time and resources, and often with minimal or no reward. The company also allegedly hired "big-name Hollywood actors" to do voice-overs for commercials. "This isn't going to make the game better. This is throwing away money because, deep down, Chris Roberts wants to make movies," CS5 stated. "He failed in Hollywood, but he never made peace with that."

"Like, I felt like we should have gone to their homes and made sure their kids were eating and dressed. It starts to feel like a gambling addiction after a certain point. It was hard not to feel guilty."

they simply have a healthy self-esteem, because shovel knight is a very good game. there's also the assload of free dlc coming so if you really can't spend thirty dollars on a great game, well, maybe you should get a job, or set up a gofundme, or something.

several women were. I'm actually suddenly curious how the SC subreddit is responding given that it went hard pro-GG when Polygon did their last expose

at any rate this is goddamn insane and not how a reasonable PR move should happen.

Such a weird world where the trolls can attack other people from the corners of the internet and try to gain notoriety or prop themselves up. I pay them no heed. I can see what is going on, I can read between lines, and I can see what is going on without turning into a troll to get information.
So.. I really don't care who says what on what web page from what obscure person the source was. I don't think having to openly respond to trolls as something CIG should do or worry about nor waste time bothering themselves over.

I still don't understand why these smear campaign ever gain traction. It's completely without evidence. Let's be clear about evidence: you need it to say something with certainty, whether its good or bad.. People concerned the game may not finish are entitled to be concerned; I cannot, nor can anyone. say with 100% certainty the game will finish or by when. I can say I THINK it will finish, I BELIEVE it will be good, but these are also not certainties.
When it comes to evidence in full public view, there is a huge amount of work accomplished by CIG: take that as you will, but at least its a verifiable, playable fact. What is in the future, even if you are supporting CIG, is speculation. But so is Derek Smart's bullshit, and it seems clear to me that CIG has awfully more in the "work done" category than DS makes it out to be.
