Has the Star Citizen twitter account tweeted "RedTube" or similar yet, or this level of (OUYA team) incompetence has not been matched?

So RSI UK filed their accounts today. There isn't much to see, for reasons that will become immediately apparent, but they confirm the money moves around needlessly. I made a flow chart in MS paint for 2015 of the information so far. The Star Citizen funding chart apparently showed $36m in 2015 with $3.3m of that coming in January, leaving $33m for February to December. Using an exchange rate of £1 : $1.55 for 2015 would put a total value of ~ £21m for February to December 2015 for the Star Citizen funding chart. That is clearly a material difference to the £15m that was shown in the accounts of Roberts Space Industries International Ltd. When the UK parent company files their accounts there should be some more information on inter-company relationships.

lazorexplosion posted:Try posting a troll that is cool and funny. For example, pretend to have secret evidence that Facts Are Useless is a Star Citizen backer, and then once you've worked everyone up with that, post a link to a picture of your balls as evidence. With a little creativity you can do so much better than obsessively posting grandma's first concern troll attempt every six hours, each more boring than the last. Let's do this together, friend. I'll supply the comical post, you supply the required balls. It will be super funny and the whole thread will slap their foreheads in unison and go "Aw man!"

Don't forget to gift a ship with your dick pic so the lady in question feels obligated to pay you back. Sexually. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

DapperDon posted:To be fair, he wasn't wrong. I believed in it too, that is why I bought my starter package. I know nothing about game development or anything of that nature to be able to see what you guys have shown me. It wasn't until I started seeing some really major production missteps and how they conducted themselves as a business entity that I started to see the red flags that this project was a scam. The "community" was what settled it for me. I worked on the $cientology Superpowers building in Clearwater, Fl and got to see first hand what a Cult backing a scam was really like. I just kept my mouth shut and collected my $$ as long as they threw it at me. Once you are around that level of crazy, you can see it when it pops up in other places. To be fair, you were both wrong. If you're going to pay $45 for a videogame, it's fair enough to say "This is from someone who's made games I liked in the past, I'll give it a shot." If you're looking at putting hundreds or thousands of dollars into a videogame... well, frankly you're in an idiot if you're not being treated like an actual investor with returns based on what you invest. Ignoring that, you still should do some due dilligence to see who's going to be spending your money. It doesn't take much research to find that Chris Roberts is someone who got lucky early in his career by getting his name plastered over other people's work and was a complete disaster whenever he had actual control over something. I avoided all this by being a cheap bastard who hasn't paid full price for a game since Metal Gear Solid 3 on the PS2, and who never preorders anything. I found this thread (well, the last one, but you know what I mean) because I'd been periodically checking up on Elite and SC for a few years. Found it curious that Elite was a released game while SC was still in pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha, started looking around and ended up here.

Lobus posted:But guys look at the fidelity of this helmet This is definitely an asset in a real time 3D game. I bet these can be rendered on 100s of characters simultaneously, which will also easily have over 2 million polys each, probably more. It's a good thing CIG nabbed the super versatile CryEngine before the company went out of business, because no other engine is capable of supplying the required level of fidelity. Star Citizen is #1 on my Christmas list.

I don't get the complexity of this helmet, it looks really silly. There are so many moving, mechanical parts, you can bet it will stop working one week after the warranty expires.

All I did was buy a starter package for $45. There is not a video game out there that is going to compel me to spend more than $60 for a new AAA game. In fact I only buy games that are on sale or used. The only exception to that if it is one that my son wants really bad and has earned it like he did when he made the Honor Roll, then I let him pick 2. Outside of that, no way. I am more than grateful to the spergs that buy a new game on release day, finish it in 2-3 days and then see it on Craigs list or Gamestop for sale because they are bored with it. E: I like savings the monies.

All those polygons and that helmet is still a complete wiff on fidelity, so very Star Citizen. Inexplicable articulation of a whole bunch of moving parts that serves no purpose whatsoever other than making the design implausible, baffling, fragile, and plain loving dumb. Animation for the sake of animation. It's reminds me of being high on psychedelics and there's always that one idiot at the party with no clue that starts waving his hands in front of your face going 'oooh' while convinced he's trippy, hip and clever. e: a dumb Thoatse fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Dec 13, 2016 |

They safeguard themselves first, run it into the ground second, and worry about employees somewhere between six and seven of that list. They don't worry about the employees at all. It barely occurs to them. Because why bother? Even if a few of them eventually report the delayed/unpaid wages to the labor authorities, only the insolvent, illiquid company will be held accountable, not the executive decision-makers who authorized such lovely behavior. A meaningful clawback of executive compensation in bankruptcy court doesn't seem likely, even if poo poo gets that far.  The Crytek brothers won't feel any pain besides bruised egos, and the people who were unpaid or paid very late over the span of however many months will have to scramble to pull together the parts of their lives disrupted by not receiving their rightfully owed wages for work done at Crytek's behest.

Sunswipe posted:Christ, what an rear end in a top hat. "Yeah, they were getting worked up just because we hadn't paid them for a couple of months! As if we owed them money or something! Crazy." I wonder if the brothers have ever personally had real money troubles? Because that attitude seems to indicate "no." What that guy seems most troubled by is failure, not unprofitability, and that's an ego concern, not a survival one. Thus it makes sense why he'd be bewildered about his employees being upset by nonpayment. He assumes they're all in this together -- and "this" is his success.
