this is cool how much does it cost $800? $1000?
$20 or $30 with all the DLC.

At that price, it just can't be worth it.

Sandi, while being a total nightmare in relations to SC is a model and has kids so I don't think her modelling for "Expecting Models" is that big of a deal. Not entirely sure how her bust size figures into her hilariously bad CS emails.

There is enough to poke fun at without doing this, goons. Be better.

Why is making fun of her tits a problem for you? I don't see you making a stand over us making fun of Ben being fat or Chris having a muffin top.

I'm not really making a stand, it was one post. I've also got no issue with the posts about her being an evil succubus with a paralysed face - I just thought "Look at this model that has had children modelling for a maternity clothes line!" posts a bit weird when she is currently having a far more entertaining meltdown. Fair point on the tits though, I guess if we can laugh at Bens we can laugh at hers.

I don't think anyone is talking about their kids, or their parenting.

But when a skeletal woman is described as having a large bust we're going to laugh.

Yeah I can't really fault them for not going. It's no secret that preparing demos for trade shows is a huge hassle.

Plus we already know that if like one person isn't able to do their job, whether it's programming or customer service, the whole studio grinds to a halt!

To be honest, I genuinely don't know why they go all out at those trade shows when they don't have what their community even says is a stable game yet.

A Manhattan if you like dark liquors. And old-fashioned, in the same vein. If they somehow have mint infused bourbons, ask for a Moscow Mule but with that instead (a Kentucky Mule)

So if CIG's accusation that Beer conducted corporate espionage is true, wouldn't they get in contact with the FBI to file suit against both Derek Smart (the actor of said espionage), the CIG employee (for leaking the information), and Beer?

Of course this would assume this isn't just posturing by CIG's legal department akin to what they did after The Escapist article when analyzed by Popehat.

It's bullshit.

Do you really think that if they had any case they wouldn't have done it by now? They wouldn't dare.

Plus, corporate espionage is criminal, not civil. And they'd have to file a complaint. If it ends up being false, they're in even bigger trouble both with the Feds AND also subject to civil lawsuit from myself and whoever they are accusing of that.

Any legal case stemming from this, brings us right back to the money of Star Citizen since this whole campaign has been specifically about money, management and misdeeds.

I read players will only be able to affect the prices of things by 20%. So there is no worry about devalue... or value. Or interesting things in the economy since it will be all fixed. Everything will either be full positive value capped or full negative value capped always. Will there even be scarcity?

If it's 20% I volunteer to lead the first exploitation of the market. You do realize a 20% increase or decrease in production of something like food or oil could cause the entire commodity crash.

Dolvak should do a Star Citizen roundtable with Beer, Alken Stroud, and Scott Manley. Topics including the state of the game, the management of CIG, the fanbase, the business model, whatever.

These are some of the best informed and even handed critics-- and it would be an amazing thing to watch. Derek is radioactive by choice and is almost universally despised by the Faith Militant-- Beer still has his defenders amongst them.

That would make for a fantastic discussion. Even in spite of Dolvak.
