This is probably a dumb idea, I am a dumb, but if they're really running low on funds could this NDA testing be a way of cutting off their data costs? The client is what, 20, 30 gigs per user per patch? Obviously this is in addition to being a way to obfuscate the complete lack of actual work they'll be doing on it if SC really has been unofficially cancelled. Tell the backers that they'll have to wait for the current closed test to bear fruit before they get an update, meanwhile the closed testers are under NDA and can't tell anyone that they're not testing anything.

One thing to keep remembering about Star Citizen: CIG is still raising money on a totally broken game, a game whose actually state is completely hidden from backers. This is moral fraud and, when CIG collapses, I hope the FTC finds this as legal fraud. The company should die tonight, but it won't. Each day that it doesn't die is another day when more money disappears in some cocaine fueled dream of Roberts. As for the employees, from what we've heard, CIG abuses it's workforce. Atxsperg said that some former employees have near PTSD and alcoholism. CIG is not a good company and it has bad management. Ok, enough about realizing how awful this whole thing is. Did I hear correctly that CIG has one of the top five gaming budgets of all time?

Great point. The majority of players must download the each PU build, tool about for an hour, then forget it. Those people carry as much server cost as the one commando that plays the PU, our very own  .By going to NDA system, cut down on number of server costs and hide the true state of the game. I could see the new build system as a way of allowing for approximating a stable build.

It might be useful for testing but they know their audience, the NDA signers will see themselves as a select group and be more faithful, they'll also hint on the forums about amazing stuff just over the horizon. It buys CIG time, they always want more time.

Yes, our bot army that tooterfish set up to continuously download the game might have finally made them change how they handle updates etc. They have spent A LOT on bandwidth

G0RF posted:4th largest development budget in history. Might overtake GTA V by year end if this year resembled last year. Is the list corrected for inflation? In either case, a top level gaming budget and it has released as much tangible progress as a CryEngine mod. CIG hasn't put out enough for a tech-demo, just a failed game mod. A $111 million game mod.

The client is what, 20, 30 gigs per user per patch?... One server instance runs on two cores, and the servers run on 16-core machines in the cloud. If each instance handles 24 players, they need 24x8=192 testers to test server performance every time they make a change. It's a lot cheaper to push 20GB patches to a few hundred testers than to hire 192 QA testers.

Because I swear that's just a thread rumor, I know he got another package but I think the $2500 number was made up because I never remember him actually putting that number out.

Loxbourne posted:There may be very very good legal reasons for not giving us encrypted hints. If there genuinely is an investigation by law enforcement agencies - whatever their provenance or origin - and Derek knows about it, then potentially even hinting about any such investigation could be a criminal offence. In the UK this is called "tipping off", and it would be a bitch to defend since it's very hard to prove that someone (say, at CIG) didn't crack Derek's encryption early and alter data or evidence ahead of time. This strikes me as an exercise in whaleism. Chris Roberts makes a few "sure we'll think of a way to include it" and they create all these "what if I hide in a crate to hijack their ship" scenarios. Derek makes a few vague statements about impending doom and you're creating these raid at dawn scenarios. Let's be clear here no one has actually made any such claims.

I guess my question is is did he have an Armada pack before or after the fact. He's still an idiot for having that much in it in the first place but I just wanna know if he is truly a double-idiot.

I still say the best revenge against all shitizens would be if SC came out, exactly as promised, with all planned features. Because it would never live up to their dreams and they would feel grief. It's kind of like all the people who talked about their highly in-character hopes and dreams for games like The Old Republic or gently caress even Everquest. Giant videogames never accurately translate into a virtual second life and it's hilarious when they don't. Games get mined for the most important gameable bits. They get dissected and are played like games, not enormous RP chatrooms. I mean, sure you can find little pockets of people in LotRO or WoW who insist on only typing IC but for the most part it's just an environment to grind poo poo in. SC - even feature complete - would be little different.
