CIG are publishing (and re-factoring) the roadmaps with so much information about the pass because they want people to think they are making great estimates - in a few months, with obfuscation, people will look at the dates and say "well they were off by a couple a days" forgetting these maps were published like two weeks before the events and not when the roadmap starts.

His response is not just being an old man. It was directly speaking against that ultra specific niche application of an idea that was grotesque and something that ran against people who are often seen as less than because of their disabilities. I'm pretty sure he wanted to stick up for people that don't have a typical range of movement, control, etc. The presenter's joy was misplaced. His initial question really cut to the heart of it, but what is it for? 2am care rant ^ nice meltdown Raskolnikov fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Dec 10, 2016 |

Inaccessible, products created for an over leveraged out of touch community with very specific, tastes. Agree. But also would like to know what context that presentation was in. I mean, if it was the kickoff meeting for project "Capcom asked Studio Ghibli to help in the next Resident Evil" it would make totally more sense than "what technical advances have we made that might improve our next Studio Ghibli movie". I struggle to understand why this tech was presented (or even developed) at Studio Ghibli (and to Miyazaki) in the first place.

Fake it before you can make it... except you'll never make it. CIG updating their roadmap on fridays is funny. Its well known that you dump info you dont want people to remember on fridays. Then you have tentative schedules that say that testing might start on a friday. Lets be real, no one is working on pushing 2.6 to the ptu during the weekend, you might as well say the range starts on monday. Also they have a week to release it on the ptu and on live? Looks like anything after the 16th is a no go. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Dec 10, 2016 |

lol, they have seriously gone through FOUR different versions of the project tracker, and they still haven't produced anything. "NETWORK Network Engineering is getting to the end of stripping out the old parts of CryLobby/CryMatchmaking" Oh, they're getting to the end of stripping out the legacy networking? That's great, then surely their new and improved version must be just around the corner.

POOL IS CLOSED posted:I don't know anything about UK financial statements standards -- they don't include a disclosure of the compensation to the top managers (CEO, CFO, etc.)? That's one of my favorite things about reading public companies' filings for the US. Chris Roberts is in breach of the law at the moment and not filing the accounts for most of his UK companies. He filed accounts for Foundry 42 though but there isn't much to see. Erin Roberts was paid a higher salary from Foundry 42 Ltd than David Braben earned from Frontier Developments PLC though. Of course Erin may have his fingers in more of the Star Citizen company pies in addition to this though. I'm sure that Chris' beak is well wetted but at best we might find out what he was paid for directing the motion capping. His salaries are probably drawn from companies outside the UK.

HycoCam posted:Hardy harhar--CIG never, ever planned a live release before Christmas. I'll bet you the 2.6 patch goes to the PTU--where anyone with a subscription can play. Where I'm sure it will sit for a month or so before the free, live release. Gotta get that $10 out everyone. That's actually a rather cunningly devious plan from CIG if that's their intention. Make 2.6 subscriber only over the holidays to ensure every backer feels the need to sub. In the new year, start pushing more exclusive subscriber content citing the large numbers of subs as justification. Gradually treat the non-subs worse and worse. Big (well.. bigger! lol) delays until they get any new release, gated off content on the Spectrum? Congratulations, you've basically e. I realise that CIG basically started down this road months ago with the sub/non-sub divide but it's the leaving 2.6 & SM access over Xmas which will really force peoples hand.

Enchanted Hat posted:lol, they have seriously gone through FOUR different versions of the project tracker, and they still haven't produced anything. I've been reading a lot of backer talk about the project tracker and it's just another one of the aspects of this that baffle me. Like the demos being fake, something so obviously stupid that I have trouble seeing where backers come from on it. CIG obviously dumped that out with vague things like "CONTENT" and "NETWORK" as things being worked on and from Minute 1 it was already wrong in terms of date. If you look at any real project tracker from an actual company you could also tell the items they were tracking were basically vague enough to be fake. So in terms of what it was even supposed to track, and the time it was supposed to track those things it's useless from the start. Backers rejoiced, the project tracker has been used hundreds(thousands?) of times in arguments now as an example of open development and what CIG is doing right. It is the ultimate weapon to silence critics and dissent. It probably pulled in at least a million itself by CIG doing the nice one two punch of starving people of real information for four years, and then feeding them fake bullshit at long last during a sale. It doesn't matter what the food is, if you've been hungry long enough it will be the best thing in the world. The tracker had the same type (but less severity) of effect as 2.0 or the gamescom demo. Now the tracker is just another thing that backers have to make up excuses and justifications to cover for CIG on. They are now going to great lengths to convince each other why "CONTENT" makes sense in a development checklist, and why the dates having been wrong from the start and constantly being adjusted are actually good for Star Citizen. It's like going dodecatuple down on being hopelessly stupid, and for some reason i can't explain I expected them to stop by now.

I'm still tickled by the parking sensor. So dumb, so star citizen. Elite provides a wireframe 3d display showing your alignment and proximity when docking. Star citizen uses a gun sized sensor bolted to your spaceship with the words "parking sensor" printed on it. Parking sensor. On a loving spaceship.

CIG trusts me enough to tell me nothing and let me imagine my own perfect justifications. They obviously trust my judgment and let me be an independent salesman selling things to myself. Subnautica just wants to move dates forward (suspicious much?!?!) and preach at me about hundreds of things they are working on. This only makes sense if they have something to hide. alphabettitouretti posted:I'm still tickled by the parking sensor. So dumb, so star citizen. Did you know that all you need is your imagination? The parking sensors are great because they stick out from the ship so obviously you will be able to use them to breach other ships hulls. Imagine all the fantastic things you could do with that. Literally any scenario you can imagine. Star Citizen is good.

There's a ship with a part marked parking sensor on it? I remember seeing some picture with a thing circled talking about parking sensor, but I guess I didn't look close enough. I thought people were just making fun of faked gun locations or something, and circling a tiny feature where the shots appear to come from.

Beer I'm extremely glad that you've came around, but lol at thinking cig has any sort of procedure or schedule of how fast they respond to refund emails besides 'did we make a couple mil from a sale one day ago - after salaries and paying loans and Sandi money.' I suspect they will drag their feet and reply to you and other leavers at the exact time of the next Xmas sale and not a day before.

One thing I've yet to see  realize is that the terrible and pointless launch sequence animation must either be integral to SQ42 or totally unrelated which means either A) Squadron 42 is nowhere near being ready for a preliminary rollout or B) the animation team is spending its time working on something totally pointless. Neither of these are good options.
