Of all the people who've claimed to interact with Sandi Gardiner, there's the open and patient former investor Bootcha and there's the mysterious and cagey Fuzzy Modem.

Hmm, who to believe.

Oh, also Beer, whose emails CIG refuses to help verify and who backers and CIG supporters cast aspersions on but who refuse to actually verify their suspicions lest they be proven wrong.

What games are you basing this comparison on specifically? What makes the current playable version of Star Citizen better than them, specifically?

And yes, Sandi is my friend, and I don't like to hear people talk poo poo about my friends, even my friends who are less than perfect people, which is... let's see... yeah, all of them.

It's because people have actually played other space combat sims and therefore have a baseline to compare against. SC is at the very bottom of that spectrum. For starters, it is not a sim…

Oh, and like everyone else, I would like to hear you actually answer the questions you responded to. Can you do that?

this guy is absolutely the very definition of a citizen. it isn't like he even gets to be a notch above the 'you don't know about game development' / 'you must be derek smart' crowd. he immediately avoids any and all lines of conversation that makes his dissonance uncomfortable. gently caress you you weirdo.

Shotgun is CIG's development and feedback platform.

TNGS is "The Next Great Starship" a reality TV style contest I participated in a while back, which is when I got to know Sandi and the rest of the team leads, and when I was given access to Shotgun.

So nothing done in the last decade, and including stuff that isn't even space combat sims, and only one of which has any real multiplayer… Right-o.

SC doesn't have a flight model – it has FPS controls with auto-run. And what other areas are you referring to here where it's better than those fully-featured games?
