Don't forget all the posts that were on the serious SA Star Citizen threads.

In the GBS thread days we would take posts from the Games thread and make fun of how goons were talking about how a size 5 turret becoming a size 4 had an impact with whatever power generator, or theory crafting how you could use High G maneuvers to mince up boarders in your cargo bay with the cargo flying around.

Like I said: I think they have a lot of this planned out behind the scenes and are not being open about it (nor have they implemented anything yet) because (possibly) they're saving it for bigger reveals this year and next. It does go against the 'open nature' of development that they have claimed though.

You don't know this. You're trying to convince yourself that it's true, and that your speculation is fact, but in reality you have nothing but wishful thinking behind you. Years of listening to Chris's bullshit have altered your brain to the point where hope and a suggestion are practically guarantees. Here are actual facts: Chris Roberts has hosed up every estimate he's provided except one, CIG has used this same line about saving for a bigger reveal more than once, and they skipped out on E3 even though they had a year to prepare for it.

ManofManyAliases posted:

Yes - I have, and I can't think that a person who is under such public scrutiny would be so blatant as to take 100+ mil and say 'gently caress all of you' without knowing there are going to be serious repercussions. But, I also don't believe that is the issue. I think he's passionate enough to know that he was loving up and took a step back, refocused energies and is keeping everything quiet and underwraps now so that he can just churn out actual resutls (which is why he's spending so much time in UK and is no longer providing hard dates or promises).

Let's go over the ways this is possible:
A) He's a scam artist and is willfully deceiving people to commit mass fraud. Not exactly a stretch.
B) He's so hopelessly lost in his own little world that the possibility of failure escapes him, so the money is justified.
C) People are leading him along and intentionally deceiving him about the status of things so he'll become the fall guy.

I'm sure there are others, but the idea that the public scrutiny is somehow a safeguard against malfeasance is pretty laughable.

None of these jerks know anything about journalism. Have they reviewed anything? Have they dealt with publishers in order to get early copies? Have any of them run a website?

Maybe these assholes should all keep their stupidity, and bad opinions, to themselves and stop creating all these clickbait threads that exacerbate the problem.

I mean poo poo, they're putting out test versions of the game so you can play and see what it's like. Go play it. Get your money's worth. Why the gently caress even post here, when you could be having the time of your life?

every failure of a game has had a secret build. that's how you know it's a failure.

Star Citizen is testing the patch the will fix everything right now! The next internal patch of DOOM Multiplayer is adding basic old-school deathmatch! The next secret update to Anarchy Online is going to fix all the problems! Internally, Bungie is working a patch to put multiplayer back into Oni!

If they were to release between 2017-2018, however, would that not fall into the estimated development times of practically every AAA title? If we count development from beginning of 2013 through end of 2017, we're talking about 5 solid years straddling the 6th.

Why 2013?

Ah man...that really was comedy gold back then, when there were still hopes abound even among goons that this would be a game that would actually happen one day and not be a total scam. That potential future is what made the PACT meltdown on the forums, the mods babysitting them, and them still imploding with BWC leaving and Blue Horizon *literally* destroying itself, because of the leader being paranoid about non-existent goon spies in his space guild, that made it all that much more hilarious.

Now tho, when it's obvious that a big fat nothing will happen of all this...I'm halfway ashamed myself TBH that I expended that much thought over it all, when I saw it. Even if it was funny.
