I say this knowing full well that AP will quote this post with a picture or video of a model missing feet, eyes or genitalia (albeit, a model from a game in alpha, pre-alpha, or whatever you guys want to call it). I don't believe that even you believe that. Here's what I think, and let me know if I'm hitting close to home: I think you see the writing on the wall. I think you know how this poo poo is going to go down and you know that while some people do mean for the best for SC, upper management is less than competent and that the odds of CIG delivering anything even close to what they are suggesting they deliver is about zero. But I also think you don't want to give up your position in the community, whether it be for 'prestige' or simply because you want to see the fireworks from a closer seat. I think the second the project no longer is obviously viable to even the densest of SC backer, you'll jump ship and tell a story or three -- A day which I look forward to a great deal by the way!

LMAO, clearly not helpdesk-competent like I said  This guy fails all criteria. He doesn't get that you don't put that in writing, much less make it part of the classification system.

This is a quote from the video from November last year when reporter Christian Schneider of the german gaming magazine Gamestar visited Foundry 42 Translation: Gamestar video 11/19/2015 posted:"You have seen it? Touched it?" But yea, the reporter was doubtful to see a release in 2016. No surprises there.

I'm sure that all the businesses I frequent often enough to be remembered at have a nickname for me. For example, at the liquor store I'm "that guy who pays our lease" The thing is, they don't put this in a fuckin' database and then show it to me

Perhaps they're not classifications in the way we think. "Goons" could be their code word for the Evocati. "High Maintenance" could be those who are submitting so many bug reports that the bugsmashers are having to do extra high code maintenance to fix them. "Snowflake" could be the super-super-sekrit test group assigned to receive the first alphas of the procedural generation - after all, next to birds, what better thing to procedurally generate than snowflakes? You're seeing it all wrong!

Canine Blues Arooo posted:I don't believe that even you believe that. So - no: you are nowhere close to home. You have absolutely no clue what's going on behind the scenes and are just projecting sentiment in this forum because that's what is expected of you. Want to be upset that you're not fed more screenshots of a working game? Want to feed on the childish, impatient emotions of entitled redditors that want what they want and need everything yesterday? Do it. This is as effective an echo-chamber as is that loving subreddit, as are the CIG forums, etc. In other words: not effective at all. What you perceive as effecting change when DS or another goon or a rouge redditor or whomever else makes a prediction is nothing but coincidence or speculation of a forced puzzle-piece when CIG is not even playing withe same puzzle. Are CIG's methods towards game development unorthodox? Yeah. Could this whole process be more streamlined, industry-norm and cleaner? Yes. But again, this is not a project like others out there. That said, two things I want to note: 1) Some here, on reddit and CIG forums (or could just be the same people on all three) are quick to claim SCAM or FRAUD. The FBI, FTC, State AGs and other authorities are not idiots. I know from experience that when something with this much steam and attention becomes more public daily, people and authorities will take an interest in it. And such, if the notion of a scam or fraud ever became anything more, authorities would not wait for four years to effect an investigation (even just to start one). They most especially wouldn't allow a company to continue to accept donations/pledges/etc, to the tune of 100+ million dollars. 2) Aside from just a very small handful of lesser-known gaming media outlets, and perhaps one-three better known outlets, this forum (which represented, at one time, what, 300-400k worth of pledges?) and perhaps some discontent people on CIG forums and reddit, where else do you see people screaming SCAM and FRAUD? No, what I think is happening is a lot of frustrated, impatient people want to see stuff NOW, and when they see items broken in testing - in alpha - they can't stand having shelled out real cash (which they were never forced to do - mind you) and not immediately seeing the benefits. There have no doubt been setbacks, missed deadlines, poor management decisions, etc, but I never believed there to be malcontent, intention to deceive or defraud, or the like. So, think what you want: this is forum for discussion, no? I am still under the belief that CIG has a lot under wraps and we will get to see the fruits of that hard work and development while the naysayers remain silent.

I'd actually appreciate it if they did make an attempt at creating such a piece of software. All I've seen is glossy marketting vids that amount to hollow ideas, a CEO who seems to be made of nothing but hot air, staff incapable of treating money or members of the public with respect, and some easily manipulated cultists defending it with excuses and vitriol. Impressive scope and ambition mean nothing without equally impressive levels of progress and delivery, anyone can dream big, very few can deliver them. I can't even bring myself to post anything, good or bad on their site these days, they have expertly failed at every step apart from fundraising, they deserve public humiliation and ridicule as they go out of their way by their own actions to demand nothing less. If I had them paint a wall they would step in the paint tin, they are nothing more than a joke, a bunch of cowboys, fly by night crooks, and their project is nothing more than broken disjointed ideas and a showcase of dire planning and awful leadership.

It is disposable - I stand by what I said and screw you for trying to get me to think otherwise. If you plop down 4k on a video game, a car, toys, items for a hobby - whatever - you had better also understand that nothing in life is certain or guaranteed and that you are at risk of losing whatever you spend. And, in that regard, it is disposable. Someone who spends 4k on radio controlled aircraft, just to have said aircraft encounter rough wind forcing it to come crashing down - just disposed of 4k. Same goes for someone who bought a beater car that then popped a head-gasket. Etc., etc.

Does it mean engaging in a back and forth discussion with someone else? Does it mean providing a counter-opinion on a topic? Or does it mean reading a blog or twitter post about impending legal action on a company and wanting to jump of a bridge? Two of those are the correct answers.

I don't think that's the case, you've got to have a little admiration for any company that can scam individual people out of thousands and have such an impact on their lives that they'll register on a dead comedy forum to defend them.

Etc., etc. dude, it's a video game, you don't even get any big special dicksucking for it either at least when you pledge a few hundred dollars for Kingdom Come: Deliverance they mail you a real handmade sword C'mon man, you know better, don't try to convince yourself spending $4000 on a video game is something you're comfortable with and isn't just the natural outcome of getting swept up by the hype and trickle over time. I'm sure there are a lot of people who play F2P games who, if you showed them how much they have spent over the years on tokens, they would probably justify it too but secretly know they have a problem. Any normal person would think a car or cool airplane or TV would be neat, but you tell them you spent $4,000 on a video game, they are going to file you in their brain as "person with issues".
