Guess which backer photo will make it to your local TV news! "Main hurdles are server storage space and the need for an automatic tagging system in order to assign a value to photos." Yes, those are just the two main hurdles.

There was a photo minigame in MGS2. Are you trying to imply that CRobber is a worse game designer than Kojima by doubting that he can create one too?  Obviously, everyone wants to play Fatal Citizen Frame.

Who the hell looks at a game promising ship-to-ship combat, first person shooter combat and a universe to explore but thinks "I want to be a photographer"? That's like going into the latest Madden title and saying "This football stuff is all well and good, but where's my option to design ballet costumes?" I just want to be a peg legged pirate in space, these people are retarded

That's like going into the latest Madden title and saying "This football stuff is all well and good, but where's my option to design ballet costumes?" I've said from the start, these people do not want a game or gameplay, they are actively opposed to people playing games. They want a safe place to log into at night and forget their lovely lives. They want to stand around a virtual bar looking at each others uniforms, saluting and tossing each other off while saying poo poo like 'Space is harsh Commando' and 'Yes I agree Commando space is harsh that is why I am drinking a whisky in this bar with you by the way I like your uniform'

That's like going into the latest Madden title and saying "This football stuff is all well and good, but where's my option to design ballet costumes?" Star Citizen is a game that's promised both everything and nothing simultaneously. Their publicly-released "design plans" boil down to vague notions (of flying around in space, of trading, of setting up companies, of teledildonics, etc.). They provide just enough tactility to make it seem plausible: the ship JPEGs, the pre-rendered "gameplay," the developer updates, and so on. It's a backdrop for people to project their fantasies on to and, like in the video I posted above, endlessly desire. Even if Chris Roberts somehow managed to shovel this turd out the door, it would flop massively, because there is no way he could even approach the fantasy that people have of this game.

Elijah, man that takes me back... Back when CIG Austin was in the house basement. So CR was in town, and took the whole team out to Perry's for the lunch pork special and a pep talk. Folks grouped up for car pools, and all except one were ready to go: Elijah. He was finishing up some art and wanted to get to a proper stopping point. I volunteered to stay behind, wait for him, and give him a ride to the lunch. I didn't pay attention to what he was working on, I spent the time wandering around the office, looking at the white boards and the planning. The whiteboard in the art office was at the time littered with fungal dicks and a Swanson'ed version of Skelton stating "Dicks": Skelton was fond of saying "Dicks" a lot at the time. Anyway, Elijah finished up and we hopped into my pickup and drove downtown. We chatted a little, and he had a call from home. As far as I remember from my not-listening listening of the convo, his wife was expecting, don't remember how far along. Elijah struck me as an angry artist. I could respect that, I too was an angry man at some point in my life. We talked about the office and how it was small and cramped, that as I understood it there were plans to move into a proper office. But it was mostly a quiet ride, I think he didn't understand I was an investor instead of a crazy backer. Or maybe he did. He got a ride back with someone else. At some point after the Khartu concept art went live/public, and I *belive* around the Arena Commander launch, Elijah was fired, and having known the man I wondered why. From what I remember, CR sent out a company wide email thanking the programmers for crunching to make the launch of something big, which is why I think it was the Arena Commander launch. Elijah had reply'ed all angerly stating that Chris should also thank the artists for their work too during that time. All accounts stopped after that but I could surmise what happened, that Elijah and CR got into a public spat that gave Peterson little chance to protect/shield Elijah from dismissal. The general consensus was that Elijah painted a target on his back. I don't disagree with that assessment, but looking back on it I wonder if it wasn't a symptom of something else going on.

I used to feel sorry for them but CIG really is the company they deserve and SC will be exactly what they have coming to them.

Six Signs You’re a Dictator The Company Revolves Around You — Employees are able to describe you in one word: self-centered. Without your brilliant guidance, they all would be lost. Your inferiors are merely there to carry out orders that further your personal objectives. When success comes your way, you gladly take all of the credit and reward yourself with a little extra cash in your pocket, just like Mubarak did. You Obsessively Control Employees — You enjoy wasting time by micromanaging every employee task; you make people work precisely when, where, and how you want them to. You think of your office as an elementary school classroom where you need to monitor every movement, action, and breathe your students make. You “Inspire” with Fear — You like people to know that any mistake can be punishable by unemployment. You think the best way to motivate people is to make them feel like their job is something they must do to survive rather than something they want to do. All the emails you send out are typed in ALL CAPS and flagged as urgent to maximize employee panic. Priorities Start and End with Work — There is no room for excuses like “my kid is in the hospital” or “I’m not feeling well” when there’s work to do. To you, having a “work/life balance” and “personal time” don’t exist. You feel entitled to employees weekend time just as much as their work time and expect them to cater to your needs 24/7. Respect Doesn’t Matter — Your ideal image of a leader-follower relationship is to give as little as possible and get a lot back. Whenever you’re stressed or an employee has done something wrong, you don’t hesitate to “chew-out” a person in classic Jack Griffin style. After all, why waste the chance to make an example of one person and motivate the others to do their job right? You are Never Wrong — Why would you ever admit to being wrong when you have a line of scapegoats outside your office just waiting to take the blame? You’re the leader of the company, your image is its most important asset, and being wrong is not an option. You take credit for all the company successes and pass off failures on to your employees
