Young Freud posted:What the gently caress is this "not backer funded, but subscriber funded"? It's all the same pot of money. There are extra-dumb dummies who pay 15bux a month to help meet Sandi's minimum "front-of-camera-time" quotas. They get literally nothing for it other than some jpegs of jpegs to hang in their hangar and access to a special forum. Supposedly this money is kept separate from regular retards' money, but I doubt it.

A Typical Star Citizen posted:In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Question for the history buffs: Although 38 Studios collapse was kind of a big deal, it didn't have a community quite like whatever the gently caress the Star Citizen community is. Are there any historical examples of a project of this size, and with this many emotionally invested potential customers, failing?

You had super serious ROLE PLAYERS who always had loving HEAVY HEARTS for some reason and they got shafted good and proper in the early days by getting tea bagged over and over again by normal people PVPing. The forums were amazing and very similar to Star Citizens. It is with a heavy heart that I, King Grogheart clasp my hand to my heavy heart along side my wife Queen Gwynnytits and her heavy heart as we heavy heartedly take another heavy teabagging while trying to use the walk command at all times

peter gabriel posted:Age Of Conan was pretty bad back in the day. Age of Conan did release, though. Even though it''s mostly poo poo. I was thinking about a time a project just died in the cradle. I know Jumpgate Evolution died. The forums were similar to SC's, but nobody had money invested, and the customer count was not as high. I suspect Everquest Next will never come to light, but I'm not sure about their community. I doubt it's stellar, but I've never seen anything quite like the star cultists. This collapse is going to be the must-see-TV of 2016.

Same here, sort of, it was poo poo but OK poo poo, if you know what I mean. Tabula Rasa was odd, it had all the role playing dudes getting very serious then one day it was pretty much 'Going to space brb' and everything was gone

Now that's a good one. This is playing out so similarly it boggles the mind. Chis Roberts has already made his customers his bitch, though, so he made good on Romero's promises all those years ago.

Banshee: Introduction & Prologuequote:However, the captain was dead. The captain, in his light marine suit, was electrocuted by parts of the ship's wiring. The other two assistant pilots were locked in their seats, which was malfunctioning and turning around and back at high speeds. They were unable to escape, and as the turning force increased, they were flung off the seats, ripping them fresh from their arms and legs. They were left at the back of the bridge room, screaming. The other pilot was given the luxury of being decapitated by a malfunctioning door after only a few seconds, but the other one was subjected to brutal and miraculous reconstruction methods by the ship. The wires also malfunctioned, and the sparks were able to stem the bleeding. Without any arms or legs, the crewman was unable to move. If decapitation and infection wouldn't kill him, the eventual black hole would.

At the SQ company meeting On their hands - a dead star And ooh, the plans that they weave And ooh, the sickening greed At the SC company party On their hands - a dead star The sycophantic slags all say: "I called it first, it's all Derek's fault!" Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package! Re-evaluate the physics and ui Double pack with a photograph Extra Track (and a tacky badge) A-list, whale list "Scam them, Scam them!" "Scam them, Scam them!" (sadly, THIS was your life) But you could have said no If you'd wanted to... SC, SQ, RSI "Fleece them!, Fleece them!" (sadly, this was your life) But you could have said no If you'd wanted to You could have walked away ...couldn't you? I touched you at the mocap You had no real way of knowing In my heart I begged "please, take me with you... I don't care where you're going..." But to you I was faceless I was fawning, I was boring Just a child from those ugly new houses Who could never begin to know Who could never really know Best of! Most of! Satiate the need Slip them into different sleeves! Buy both, and be deceived Climber - new entry, re-entry World tour! ("media whore") "Please the Press and bribe the rest (THIS was your life...) And when it fails to recoup? Well, maybe: You just haven't earned it yet, baby I walked a pace behind you at the mocap You're just the same as I am What makes most people feel happy Leads us headlong into harm So, in my bedroom in those 'expensive new houses' I danced my legs down to the knees But me and my 'true love' Will never meet again ...

Sandi Gardiner posted:And I think there is enough of the game out and its being optimized. I see a lot of games and try them and I am just plain and simply Bored. For $45 we are a steal! There's plenty to do for that amount and tell me which game out there in the world hasn't been late??? You want a s**** game or do you want to wait? Thing is companies aren't showing it as they go. If GTAV had been open development or Fallout 4 or Witcher 3 people probably would have been doing the same thing they are to us and they've certainly taken more than 3 years for their game! Everyone voted for more, no-one wanted a $10Million game. That doesn't buy you much. There aren't more talented people out there for the CryEngine - we have the best. Want to ask the German team or Paul Reindell or Mark Abent or Sean Tracy or a genius at CryEngine what they think of Chris' coding? He re-wrote a bunch of the code to make it do what it does now that hasn't been done before! Like I said, I am one of the best in the world at what I do and I know something great when I see it. The pupil to planet video is absolutely mind-blowing and I haven't seen any other game out there that appeals to me more than that did when I saw it. 2.0 as the bugs are fixed is also amazing and I've had more fun playing that than I've ever had playing Elite. RSI Refund Denial posted:The development of the game is proceeding steadily, and a substantial part of the promised game offering dozens of gameplay hours has been made available to the backers in early release versions (see further detail below). RSI Refund Denial posted:While a substantive part of the promised gameplay is now available, we acknowledge that delivery of some game elements has been delayed due to expansion of Star Citizen’s scope.
