Suddenly I started hearing a voice repeating in my head.


So... the "market" is already factoring in a 20% discount over all assets. That's 20% the whales have lost already that they are never going to recover outside of a refund. This game is going places. :grin:

Well, I'd say good for them to find friends over a mutual interest... if not for the massive trainwreck that brought them together.
Honestly though, if some of them stay friends when SC is officially buried, that's probably the only positive thing to come out of this besides stricter rules for crowd funding.

This is amazing. Not just because it's a sign that the grey market is dead, but that there are still people stupid enough to spunk the best part of $1k on this worthless poo poo.

What's the thought process here? You see that the grey market is finished, and rather than concluding it's because the bubble has burst and the game is never coming out, you use it as an opportunity to buy this crap at a reduced cost. What's your endgame, pal? Think you're gonna make a profit with this investment, or dumb enough to believe that Star Citizen is still going to be finished and this spend is going to give you a heads-up in the 'verse?

I think they used alpha in non-roberts terms

where that section of gameplay (3.0) is nearly feature complete and ready for external testing

anything you're seeing in SC right now would be a very, very early WIP build and nowhere near an actual alpha

That's every market collapse. When people SELL SELL SELL in a panic there's usually someone willing to BUY BUY BUY because they think they're savvy investors getting a great deal. My econ professor liked to point that on Black Monday, the day of the 1929 stock market crash that kicked off the Great Depression, more than 16 million shares were sold - and every one of those shares was bought by someone.

Heck, "buy on the dips" is often touted as a solid stock-picking strategy.

People don't all figure everything out simultaneously. Someone has to be the last person to leave the room, or be left holding the bag.

Yeah I remember hooking doors up to switches back in the original Duke Nukem level creator (Made a pretty cool airport level). Pretty sure Doom had it as well but I just don't recall making any.
Yeah, switches opening doors was a thing in Doom. It's a pretty common thing that is also nice to have. You could even make it so that you needed a keycard to press the switch! Strangely enough, this didn't result in the switch being called Switches 2.0. I guess Romero and Carmack didn't know anything about game development back then.

Wolf3D was tile-based, had no triggers outside of Doors and pushwalls, and the only switch ended the level. I don't think that changed in the "remake" done for SNES, Mac, Jaguar etc...

It happens more often than you can imagine due to banks hiring people who aren't very good at assessing risk. My partner's job is basically to handle loans that go sideways to either fix or get them out of the bank which after the 2007 recession has been a rather busy market.

This guy gets it, is distracted by the :spergin: but gets it.

We saw in todays AtV room tech for atmospheres that is just beginning, when we were shown a demo of windows being blown out and emergency shutters being closed what, a year or two ago now? And we have it confirmed that the current PU uses cheats - there is not an internal air volume, and separate external volume of space. No wonder CIG has kept Sound in Space - it's still using distance from origin, rather than checking whether the sound is made in a vaccuum, partially pressurized room, or normal atmosphere: they have sound in space because they have not even defined space as 'space' yet.

This game is literally years from completion.

And it only took official confirmation of the obvious, good job CIG.

…or to use the by now standard point of comparison for SC: when Enron was on its last legs and the former $80 stock was going for less than $20 and trending down, people bought it like crazy. In particular, Enron-insiders.
