It's hardlocking them not bricking them. Which is major I guess just not quite the same. Edit: terrible new page. I just realised I'm talking about this poo poo game in at least 3 threads now. I need to fire up some actual good games to give me something better to do than follow rumours about a crappy game.

When the community manager releases even more cringeworthy stuff from his adolescence?

My friend was super hype for No man's sky then I saw someone post a link about it and it'd been delayed a couple months and there were death threats on twitter Looks to be a pretty game but ya know.

The one thing that I'm grateful for about Star Citizen is that it didn't promise a good single player campaign or I so would have backed at the minimum level. Now I can laugh at the mess without having lost money. Though I did throw the minimum at Unsung Story. And once again that's not even entertaining bad just a project that's clearly dead but the developers still pop up once and awhile to tell us everything is ok.....really......things are fine. Don't pay attention to the lack of updates or people quitting but we're totally on track with the multiplayer that wasn't in the kickstarter and nobody asked for ever.

Yeah, I did the minimum for that one, too. IIRC, they basically switched focus immediately from single-player to online multiplayer, and everything basically came crashing down after that. I always wonder what happens to the stuff for those $10k donors.

It's even dumber than that. The person they threatened was a writer for some game site reporting on the rumors of a delay, before its official announcement.

Aphrodite posted:It's even dumber than that. They threatened the game dev himself too once he confirmed it. The dumb thing is that it was a short delay (3 months) near the end of the game's development. MN9 had had somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 delays. And Star Citizen exists in some kind of nebulous quantum half-state where it's still being worked on but will never actually be released and it's your fault for caring about it.

And of course the delay for No Man's Sky was due to a secret lawsuit over the trademark of the work "sky", so all the death threats were just icing on that whole stupidity cake.

Gearbox was very lucky to pick up the Homeworld Franchise after they smeared themselves in poo poo with DN.Star Citizen is going to start generating massive piles of schadenfruede in the next 6 to 12 months. The cracks are starting to become glaring obvious, it won't be long before someone has to admit that it ain't gonna happen.

It's a constant source of pleasure for me to check with him every month to see how the scam is coming along. I bought into the original SC crowndfunding hype and had money to spare so shelled out some money, didn't really follow it all that much for a while until some incarnation of this thread talked about the issues and pointed me to the SC thread and how to sell ships on the grey market. Made a good profit and will wait and see. I want it to be great, but at this point I couldn't care less. I already have more than enough games on steam that I haven't played yet, plus new old stock sealed PS2 games I bought back when they were current that I have to find time to play aswell.

Debated putting this in the OSHA thread but I think it'll fit slightly better here *warning personal story incoming* I work on an industrial estate. A guy on the other side that's moving out has been having a lot of problems. I'll call him Wood. Anyway Wood is an rear end in a top hat that asks tons of favours from everyone and always acts like everyone he deals with is cheating him. He's one of the sourest most unhappy people I've met. Turns out he's been paying some shady company for years to get rid of his waste. They've been doing this by bundling it up and shoving it anywhere people didn't use. Empty units, fields around back you name it there's ton bundles of compressed trash there. Now that he's leaving these places are being opened up and he's being charged 80k for the cleanup. Now I guess you can argue he might not of known the company wasn't disposing correctly but I really doubt it. He either knew or flat didn't care. To add to the general misery all the sites are now covered in flies. My office is a cloud of chemical poison I've sprayed just to keep the flies down to reasonable levels. I hear a company that has a lot of frozen food across the way is going insane. tl:dr rear end in a top hat charged 80k to cleanup his trash and everyone is now fighting an army of flies. Edit: forgot to mention some of the poo poo caught fire a few days ago which is how we learned about all this. Darkhold has a new favorite as of 12:57 on Jun 23, 2016 |

I'm not sure if this counts as Schadenfreude on Walmart for their fireworks being set off, or on the people who set them off for what's going to happen to them when the police figure out who they are. http://cw33.com/2016/06/20/police-look-for-suspects-who-lit-fireworks-display-in-walmart/ quote:PHOENIX, Ariz. — Wow!

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but just in case it's clear he didn't hire actual licensed people but just paid whoever was willing to get rid of it for the cheapest. Considering how much of this stuff is spread around places he has access to it's very very doubtful he hadn't stumbled on the mess before this and had a chance to get it sorted before it came to this.
