Good Dumplings posted:Isn't that how preorders work? Though I guess they're not usually what fuels a AAA game's sales. Publishers like pre-orders because they have guaranteed money up front. I'm no business scientist but I imagine this is good for sales projections and garbage like that. They don't tend to actually fund game development with them.

I can't imagine anyone would be able to look back on their life and think 'yes, that was time well spent'. Remember these are the same group of people who have spent thousands on gaming rigs, green screens, professional lighting setups, microphones etc, to stream themselves talking about a game that doesn't exist

Anything beyond those two things is quite minor to a good driving experience. Edit: Assuming you can drive the car and just not stare at a jpeg of said car.

Preorders generally only go for 6 months before a game release, at which point there's a definite product there (poo poo or not). AAA games also don't require preorders to fund the development. SC's model has been basically collecting preorders/P2W cash to fund the development the entire way, with the exception of some venture capital at the beginning (which they've bought most out with backer funding).

AAA games also don't require preorders to fund the development. What I find hilarious and tragic about the model is the never ending fundraising prohibits "open development". They have to maintain a positive and consumer pleasing message at all times or risk their revenue stream, which they are completely dependent on to deliver anything resembling their bloated sales pitch. I can only imagine how different their community and product would be if they stopped fundraising at 23m

I'm actually surprised they're releasing something. I thought 2.0 would never see the light of day as CIG would put all their focus on SQ42.

We all know and respect that an important hahaha part of your life has ended. Getting a refunded account banned from a vidya game forum. I get it, you're mad. Just realize: I wasn't asking about your troubled relationship with SC. I was trying to get you to think about your statement. Because unironically calling Mrs. Sandi Gardiners looks "disgusting" is as far away from reality as SC is from being a finished game. Could it be that you're the one, who does not wanting to hear the "truth" at this moment in time. PSA And everyone in similar situations please do not kill yourself. It's just and a video game. P.S. You do not need to censor your words here. Just be prepared for the fact that nobody else has to censor their words either.

I'm just a filthy console gamer, but I think most pre-release sales come within two months of the release date. Like, nobody at GameStop asked if I wanted to pre-order Fallout 4 last January.

Concierge weighs in on complainers. Response was to a backer (now banned) who complained he had gotten less, not more than he was promised. https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/290440/thank-you-chris-roberts-for-the-uec/p2 Tokomi Tokomi AggressorBacker TOKOMI Posted: October 17 To our beloved Complainers: perhaps you backed for the wrong reasons and now, since that is revealed, you are naturally disappointed. .. who knows? But had you gone in for other reasons you wouldn't be here griping. Again, who knows? In any case, you could do yourselves a favor and simply stop cluttering up threads and forums, be silent, or go away - for the short or long or permanent term. Removing ypurself fropm the source of pain may ease it. There are options of recourse for you. But it seems to me that you probably know that, adults that you are, yet whining about abput it here simply reveals your either immaturity, inability to cope, desire to tear the project down, or a combination of all those. What it doesn't do is change absolute facts or give you your passive agressive demands. With respect, I pity you. :/ --- Moving on... Instead of a CS ticket simply saying thanks. I'll say it here. Thanks, CIG and CR. Jolly capital of you. You didn't have to do that. Permalink FlagQuote

If you count the languages in which she can ask "Are you shaved down there?" it's actually 25 languages. This includes sign language and three languages, spoken by tribes as of jet undiscovered by science!
