what exactly was said that we didn't know? what exactly does the article change?

Which is it? Is CIG "forthcoming with that stuff finally" or is the article redundant because we already knew? Could you at least be consistent about what you're going to be wrong about?

you goons and your leader pile on this like fools because you think it validates you, when it just shows precisely why things are hard, why they take a long time and why they are no different than any game.

you change the headline of that article to a less sensational "star citizen development challenges take their toll as cig impresses" and it's a glowing pr piece showing resiliency in the face of adversity.

so no... you gently caress off.

The Chris Reberts was reed a letter he gots from the mail. His son wa sick but he read the lettar ovar the candle for the lights. It was dark night and he was in the house but the lettre ws afrom Sand Garden!.

Seh was from awayu and we was worry of her? "Kered is fear that we be trouble! I send the powarup fro yuo to combat the evil!"

So he takesd the power and the light turned to white all round him till it was so bright his eyes couldnt see the vision.
Crish gasp "It is teh powerful!"

Ten Derakula came and eated animals all over the forest. Word spred to the village where tRobers family was wrnead of it.

"It deradful! I am worry of my husband who lumbers in the forst all day"
"Donot worry i am safe the village from him" and Roebrts said goodbye to neibhour Wingman and ran off to fight the vampire.

First he foght the Koatku and porygon but a whole bunch of skeletons too until he found teh Derekula.

"Haha" Derekula laughered "you have fighting for very long house it is almost midnight and then i will be MOr powerful!"
"I can fight for few hourse more and " he whip the crystal out of Derekulas handd.
"That is lony crystal that is not source of power i am still powar"

So Rorbets whip again and derekula neck blooded. "Dont understand"
"tath crystal was a fakes i sent it to you to replce the reel one it is full of holy water which you are standing on so yuo lose all your power"
"No that is not make sense"
"Whip again" he commanded as he whipped at the head off. Derekula's head rolled down teh forest hill into the swamp by Tranvlsania Desert and his body turn to dust.

I W"ill never fight yuo again but my son will fight when he is older that is curst ofe the robertss"

but he came home and son was dead of the skick.
"NO IT IMPOSSIBLE"
Kris was sadly. But he knew that he could train of other Bertort. He wuld have nother child.

Why pick on Star Citizen specifically? Let's just air the dirty laundry of every drat game company. I'm sure none of them have ever had similar issues.

I'm 5000 bucks in at this point and I've followed the project from it's inception. I could probably do an AMA with all the things I know about this game. I'm not a dev at CIG but I've seen every second of content they've put out and I have a couple of sources close to the devs. The amount of misinformation is appalling and it still surprises me that anonymous sources are treated as gospel. How is it fair that Chris has to answer these anonymous accusations as if they're the absolute truth.

And do these journalists really believe that they can make us hate Chris by painting him as some kind of an incompetent monster? Excuse me, but everything Chris said in that interview just made me like him more. I paid for Chris Roberts' vision, not some lovely interns. If you can't handle working at a trailblazer company for a legendary visionary then there are other places you can go to, like those Lego guys. Get out if you can't handle the heat.

It still blows my mind that Chris Roberts thinks putting people on blast out in the open for daring to tell him he's wrong/mistaken is an appropriate response because he gets annoyed when his delusions can't become reality in a timely fashion.

It's delusions from the tip of the iceberg to the bottom of the pit where Lethality dumps all the games he's given the kiss of death.

I don't want to ruin the fun, but I'm actually a software developer and manager. Unfortunately we also count development during the prototyping phase.

We actually start the development timeline when we begin talking about a new product, and through design documentation before the first line of code is even written.

I could tell it was a Kotaku article the moment I started reading. Blatant lies masquerading as truths.

Here's the lies from just the first few paragraphs:

Funding didn't start with the kickstarter. Kickstarter only happened when CIG's own servers couldn't handle the massive amounts of people trying to check it out.

Development sure as hell didn't start in 2011. The kickstarter was at the end of 2012. Once it was done Chris started to build a development team. How can you claim development started before there was a team?

The 2014 release date was based on 2 million dollar budget. Bigger budget means longer dev time. This should be obvious.

"Feature creep" (lol at people even calling it this) ended at 60 million. Since then no new features have been added. How can you say scope is constantly growing when features were locked in ages ago?

SQ42 will release within 6 months, which gives it a dev time of about 4 years. Hardly an outrageous timeline for an AAA game. Actually quite impressive if we consider nothing like this has ever been done before.

it's known as throwaway prototyping, which is exactly what chris did with the seed funding. for demo and proof of concept purposes only.

development didn't start until late 2012, if you can even say that.
