Realizing how appallingly talentless Sandi is, and the fact that she's probably the reason the entire enterprise has retooled to become a jpg hawking exercise, makes me feel more comfortable with the fact that I'm banned from Twitch for asking whether the in-game cash shop would be powered by regular electricity or the worst kind of electricity.

E: CIG is so much worse than all the evil publishers that I don't mind paying cash for in-game items, or forking over $400 for the next "concept sale." In fact, I'm glad to support Game Development by any means available. After all, you won't be able to purchase ships or items with cash once the game is released (only UEC), Star Marine is not cancelled (it's in the game) and if you don't get it you don't understand Game Development.

Correction: spending thousands on concept ships for a non-existent game that will have paid expansions, and that will have to continue to rely on such paid content to survive.

I don't see how you could have known Patrick was leaving without inside information. Leaking stuff here is funny and informative but please be extra careful they can't track you down, we'll eventually find out all that's been going on anyway so no point being one of the casualties involved in all this if you can avoid it.

Is the "The Commanders" expansion going to be the big multiplayer thing or did that already happen? I kinda want to fly around with friends and explore space, find hostiles, and blow them the gently caress up while making money.

I think its upcomming but you might need the hideously overpriced rippy-offy expansion (25 bucks in sales) to get it.
Dont fall for this, better buy a 2500 ship that crews 50 people in 16-player instances somehow.
In a game that doesnt exist.

so what the gently caress have I been playing, then?

have you ever logged in to it?

because making an argument as if you were pretty certain of what you're saying, without really being certain, is a bit demented

I wonder how many goons in this forum will be diagnosed with schizophrenia five years from now

Is playing really the right word? You wake up, wait for animation to finish, leave room, walk down a corridor and some stairs, walk into a larger room. Use a terminal to spawn a ship, endure two airlock animations, walk to the ship, get in after the animations finish and hopefully take off (assuming you don't get a bug and clip through something).

Then you can do one of three missions that take maybe 30 minutes each at most. Then you can maybe shoot a few things or repair your ship or go and find a rifle and have a terrible fps experience if you're lucky enough to find someone to shoot in your max 16 player 'verse.

That's your content, so you feel free to go do it all again if you like.

If you're going to talk about how much fun you're having in this broken demo, I suggest you put more effort in as people here just think you're trolling and can't possibly be serious.

Also why'd you go and wipe the vast majority of your comment history from RSI last year?

Without people having concerns, complaints or (constructive) criticism this game YOU enjoy would not be half as good as what it already is, and it won't be even close to how awesome it will be because of these people.

You should send them a mail asking exactly why you were banned and if it followed their warnings>probations>bans stated policy. The terrible moderation is why the community is the pile of poo poo it is and they should be called out on it at every opportunity.

I've never been able to get that far, to be honest I think you're giving them too much credit. My ship seems to have a 50% chance of exploding whenever I try to totally-not-frameshift-drive/quantum travel, so I've never even come close to finishing a mission.
