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 transitioned to adopted the subscriber model for your buy-to-play game. Wait a few months, hike the price a bit more and continue to treat the non-sub customers like dogshit and you're there.

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.

You know what the right thing to do is

Ship a physical copy of it to CIG LA headquarters , Mark the package as 'food ! refrigerate immediately'

Wait for Ben to post on his Twitter about the discovery

Good, but I think we can improve a bit. Buy a copy of LOD and send it to Chris. Mark it "reference material".

It's no surprise, I brought this up in my July blog during bug smasher episodes when he was tossing out and deleting code to solve one particular issue.

But seriously, during those episodes you find hacked together fixes and code that probably manifest themselves down the line in ways they never anticipated.

Still waiting for the DX12 and Vulkan rendering pathways to be introduced into an outdated engine version. Along with the network code that will defy physics, I'm sure 3.0 will be out shortly.

You can pick them up, and connect them to just the rover wherever you go. And you only really need them underground, where you won't see them — bonus! :D

And I don't know — it seemed like umpteen bajillion connections between bases and storage slots killed my FPS more. I think this game may have a few optimisation issues to work out…

Indeed. It's kind of funny how this tiny little EA game manages to have a full game loop, including the foundation of a fairly complex action- and resource economy, multiple procgen planets, and all that, and it's still just on version 0 and available at a fair price for what it is.

These guys can't know anything about game development.

A couple of us goons were musing on the possible overlap of Citizen whales and Trump supporters yesterday. Today a whale tries to win the internet on the frontier thread with a Trump meme. QED.
That actually came from Mith, I just echo her ideas. I also think there's a ton of overlap between SC whales and r/incel too, though.

Clearly they are pure hacks. I can't even shoot anyone. What sad joke game is this?!?!


Why didn't I do this sooner? I was probably all into the spirit of the game. It only took me 19 hours to really want to start messing with it! Also gravity gets pretty funky near the center of the planet. :D

Couple of things--predicting CIG would do any dirty trick they could to milk their backers--not too hard. And wouldn't the predictor be the guy who's post wrecked replied too? :smuggo: But really the joke is more on the CIG employees--not so obvious if CIG is going to shutdown for two weeks over the holidays. What a crappy perk to loose if you work there.
