Its in my best interest that Star Citizen doesn't come to an end, and doesn't launch.

The status quo is far too entertaining for CIG to implode and/or for CR to release the game.

I believe so since the lawsuit is based on the TOS, which have been held up in civil court. The product is the game as promised, which hasn't been released. I think they have a responsibility to show where the money has gone. $90 Million+ for a tech demo is unacceptable.

Also CIG will prevent this lawsuit from going forward with every breath, they'll collapse before this even goes to court.

Jesus Christ when will you retards realize it's not 90million spent, it's 96million raised for development.

The amount spent is probably higher.

No it's far far more than 90 million spent considering the yearly cost of 500 employees is well over 30mil alone. Fortunately that's what bank loans are for.

4 Mocap studios. New offices twice.

20 million in casting fees.

I'd wager they're well past 90 million spent.

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

People there will look out the windows and see their own reflections behind bars.
The tables are welded pipes on wheels on what looks like street tiles. They can be shoved aside to free space for yard activities.

Can somebody make this place in Prison Architect?

People are still getting frequent crashes, but the option to go straight from the menu to the Crusader station without needing to go through the hangar speeds things up at least.

That's the 1st thing i was thinking, pretty sure that video with the guy giving the tour of the new building entered a similiar room with identical windows with identical bars on said windows.

Only difference is the room in the video had a huuge roller type door on the wall..

Last time I thought it was suicide prevention, but now I see.

It's either suicide encouragment (you can hang yourself with a necktie pretty easily) or capitol punishment (didn't fix the crashes? Hanged and kept there for a bit as a deterent to remind people what happens when you not working THE GRAND VISION fast enough)

It was peak GIG when they spent more time showing off their swanky whale pen than anything gameplay related. So obviously trying to recruit new sea mammals.

I'm waiting to see if he comes back after the astonishing revelation that it's actually far more than 90 million spent to see if he tries to argue the toss about how much it costs to employ 500 people for 3 years or if he's going to just slink away quietly.

:allears: Remember that time they spent millions on Gary Oldman?
:eng101: Actually I think you'll find that money paid for a whole load of actors
:v: Oh yeah it was 10 million to pay a whole load of actors including Chris' wife who some how got top billing despite being a D list actress. What a sensible use of funds.

They've already blown their loads with the newest jpegs. They might have to fall back on selling question marks again.

They'll be hoping for a million from the phoenix sale, they might do something extra for the weekend in addition to selling everything from the daily sales again.

It's me, I'm the idiot who is going to spend $200 on a membrane keyboard from Madcatz.

Also gonna buy that War Pack. With VAT it comes in at only $6,000 and I think you'll agree that is a steal for all those jpegs.
