This has never been done before who can blame them. There adjust aren't any games out there that track basic inventory and cash balance (and nothing else) for a few thousand players in one tiny map.

There are two groups on people working on the pu.

One are people panicing trying to get this poo poo into some semblence of order before they jmp ship and the other half think its funny as gently caress and dont give a poo poo anymore. No one thinks this poo poo is ever gonna be a real game.

If life is lile a box of chocolate, which chocolate would Squadron 42 be?

Right now, it's like one of those expensive sampler boxes that has every different type of chocolate that you could ever want. However, after you've bought it and opened it up at home, you discover that due to a packing error there's only half a mashed up chocolate in the box . Also there's something that looks suspiciously like mouse turds in some of the empty spaces. And then you discover you've lost the receipt and won't be able to return it to the store.

You just do not know anything about database development. Never underestimate potential problems with database schmeg.

Chris coded the database server himself

The devs tried to port it to 32bit CPUs for months, then they gave up and simply let it run on DOSBox

Yup. And if that's coming out this fall, which they suggested (?) then coupled with the new Call of Duty, these will be the death knell of this non-existent game.

ME's already been confirmed to be a 2017 game.

That said it was nice to see some actual in-engine/gameplay footage of it instead of just CGI teasers.

To be fair a 2017 release will probably still be enough to help kill Squadron 42, unless CIG decides to rush the game so it actually comes out in 2016.

In which case it'll be death knell via suicide.

I suppose I might as well post it here too, for any EUers who want to take CIG to task for labelgate.

http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/individuals/rights/index_en.htm

Check how your national jurisdiction has implemented these rules. In particular:

What are the obligations of people who control your data?

The Directive creates obligations for the persons or entities which collect your personal data ("data controllers") who must respect your rights while processing personal data entrusted to them.

What can you ask of data controllers?

Under EU rules, you have the following rights vis � vis data controllers:

Data controllers are required to inform you when they collect personal data about you;
You have the right to know the name of the controller, what the processing is going to be used for, to whom your data may be transferred;
You have the right to receive this information whether the data was obtained directly or indirectly, unless this information proves impossible or too difficult to obtain, or is legally protected;
You are entitled to ask the data controller if he or she is processing personal data about you;
You have the right to receive a copy of this data in intelligible form;
You have the right to ask for the deletion, blocking or erasing of the data.

Decisions about you based on automated processing

Decisions that can significantly affect your life, such as granting loans or insurance, are sometimes taken on the sole basis of automated data processing.

For this reason, data controllers must adopt suitable safeguards, such as giving you the opportunity to discuss the thinking behind the processing of the data or to contest decisions based on inaccurate data.

'The scooter bugs out a lot when backers use it.'

So I didn't mean the scooter would actually work properly, but just give the impression that RSI/CIG were now able to take a design from concept to in-game quickly, via their new-and-improved fidelitous pipeline.

The only thing they reproduce with full fidelity is failure. :colbert:

This is why working for CIG is going to sink resumes... Well, at least some sperg thinks the game is still coming out. I feel bad for the programmers trying to save their careers. Gotta suck being in that climate..

She's ridiculously emotionally invested, or a CIG plant, either way, she has the intellectual capacity of a pinhead.

People are begining to wake up, they are opening their eyes and finding that they are not alone, that they should not fear speaking out against this travesty and mind/wallet rape fest of the gaming community.

This is just the begining, once the momentum picks up, the media will finally pull their heads out of the sand and start asking questions, painful questions. The day will come where we, the people who dared ask questions, we will stand together, united, shoudler to shoulder with a common reason, and that reason shall be...

I feel it in my bones, that CIG is hosed in a big way now. Like the events of the past week leading up to now, it's trainwreck after trainwreck and combined with that DSmart tweet about the Austin studio shuttering and the obvious grasping at straws by the new TOS/strange twitter shill account, everything is pointing towards acceleration to collapse. The state of the "game" speaks for itself, to any CIG employees lurking this thread: get out now, this stupid company isn't worth your career.

That's Star Citizen, right? Players exploring a massive new galaxy, filled with strange beasts, plants, and engaging emergent alien races?

Oh, it is made by another company. A competent company, with good leadership and a commitment to deliver goods to the customers.

I agree with Justin Thyme, this will be a very bad week for Star Citizen. If SurfaceDetail is right, CIG has no gameplay and videos to show for the next four months. CIG is hosed.

Question for SurfaceDetail, has there been a large loss of art talent recently? It looks like CIG art is falling down bad.
