Because I've been actually following the development, I've seen all the videos, read all the articles and seen how enthusiastic CIG are to make this game. I've met Chris Roberts in person in Melbourne last year. To those who follow development at the source rather than take the word of anonymous goons and trolls on the Internet, it's pretty clear the progress SC has made.

Hi. gently caress you.

Everything you've done? So have I. I've read the articles. I've watched the drat videos, to the point where I even summarize the 104TC ones so other people don't have to. I met Chris, visited Santa Monica and had wonderful chats with both the community and development staff, and have had more than a few arguments with Ben about the ways thing go. I have followed development, at the source, since the Kickstarter. And you know what? CIG's progress is a loving joke. We are nearing two years since the original timeline said the Dogfighting Module would be out, when CIG first delayed things in the name of polish. We are 15 months past when Arena Commander was first released and the core gameplay experience remains a buggy, un-fun, poorly balanced mess missing massive portions of the mechanics that they continue to promise are right around the corner. We are 18 months past the original release date of the FPS (March 2014), six months past the second release date (March 2015), and the THIRD release date (end of September) has come and gone with still no FPS. This is in spite of an entire studio, with extensive CryEngine experience, being dedicated to developing two loving maps.

Star Citizen has been in development for over four years (since you've followed development "at the source" I'm sure you are well aware of this). They are two million dollars away from receiving four times the originally requested amount of $23 million. For that we have a lovely spaceflight tech demo, a glorified lobby full of guys ripped off from Call of Duty: Future War Porn, and a company that can't go Two Weeks without yet another bullshit controversy. The scope of this game, which was never terribly concrete to begin with, is utterly incomprehensible and yet continues to expand. There is no timeline, no accountability, and everything CIG has done in response to every controversy and criticism leveled at them has only damaged their standing. Anyone giving CIG more money at this stage is either delusional or retarded, and should not be considered mentally competent to handle their own finances.

So yes, it's very clear how much progress CIG has made. Not nearly enough.


If taking over this thread means we get you back in full force, I'm all for it.

Beer, I hipe you are okay with hero worship.

Or fallen hero worship. I have lost Christ Roberts as a personal savior, and my heart is reaching for something, anything, to believe in.
