After it blows up, there will be commando's saying it was worth it and they had a great experience testing Star Citizen. Bummer it didn't work out. That's how the cookie crumbles sometimes though, we knew the risks. We'll see a lot of that, there is no doubt in my mind.

I mostly hope they don't vanish. I honestly think some of those people need to see their failures in the eyes and be forced to learn from them. Some will be smart and get out and get a refund. Others will chalk it up to a learning experience, a very expensive learning experience. Others still will blame Derek Smart and his legion of goons/alts for spreading FUD, and refund cascade, etc. etc.

I was what notorious closed game development studio Harebrained Schemes is working on with their limited scope game development? Oh. poo poo. I feel like there's some kind of allegory here. Okay, sure, GIFs are like a superior JPEG, but what about actual PROGRESS? quote:Production Update Actually I'm being a bit unfair to HBS. They don't have the countless videos that other, real open development studios have, but they do have a forum where developers give answers that supposedly aren't just their opinion at the time. So maybe quasi-open development? Pseudo-open development?

I think the amount of people involved come into play here. With hundreds of thousands of people involved you'll get a wide sampling of various reactions Some will treat it like humanity's greatest error that we just couldn't support the world's most visionary game developer to make dreams reality Some will pretend it never happened and try not to think about it Some will have legendary meltdowns which is what we are waiting to see Some will loudly rationalize the decision while trying to appear reasonable and addressing concerns while justifying the situation mostly to themselves Some will not be able to let go and devote themselves to a fan community trying to purchase the assets or create their own MMO The internet is pretty fun sometimes since this guy would have suffocated on his own tongue or something even 100 years ago. But now society has let him and thousands of people like him build a gigantic sandcastle of childish dreams for the world to watch it get kicked over in real time.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:People were stupid way back when too, it's just that the internet finally gave them a voice Yeah, I'm saying in less advanced times natural selection would probably have robbed us of this particular salt harvest. There hasn't really been this amount of people with infinite amounts of super-connected free time and disposable income to pay for someone to say "Yes" to their imaginations. Dick Wolf would have had to go till fields to keep his siblings from starving and probably would have walked off a cliff or sold the family cow for magic beans and starved to death or something. Now he can dream up his perfect reality in front of the entire world. DogonCrook posted:That name.. god drat. Its like he looked at some fetish drawing on deviant art and was like "the description of this abomination will totally make a great name and will add some real weight behind my speeches about videogames" Fun Fact: He legally changed his name to Wulf Knight. I want to make sure everyone remembers that.

TheAgent posted:hello, some of this is prob rehashed As much as they often surprise us with the depth of their incompetence, i think they can squirt a few more years of operation if they scale back and outsource more dev to 2nd world economy. The problem is cheap labor produce cheap game, something slightly at odd with the price tag they ask and the fidelity they want. If the missing payments are true then this is the first sing of real financial problems. Snacks and Ben are brobably the next thing to go. Delay for refunds are just basic industry practice. Its scummy but you should try to hold onto the money as long as possible. I guess the loss was mainly female models. Thank to the recent industry trend of short first player story mode, a single hour of story for a prelude (if its a good story) is not that bad. Many first player AAA story (TIF2, IW) are now roughly aroung 2.5 hours long. looks like Croberts write, administer and direct the same way he does everything, without focus. http://skinnyartist.com/9-warning-signs-of-an-amateur-artist/

Many first player AAA story (TIF2, IW) are now roughly aroung 2.5 hours long. Although that's true, SQ42 is a single player story driven game where as IW and similar games are multiplayer with a single player campaign as a side dish. If you look at play time with a game like IW, 95% of time spent in game will be spent in multiplayer regardless of how much single player content you include. Admittedly, it's just a prelude but I guarantee people will feel screwed over with a single hour of story and a bunch of filler because it's so obvious they're watering down their deliverables. It was meant to be that SQ42 was a single player campaign released to set the scene for the PU back in 2014. They've since had two more years to work on it and a poo poo load more funding, but the only visible differences appear to be a bunch of over paid and overblown Hollywood actors and the game itself being stretched out and watered down so much that it's basically transparent. I mean seriously, at what rate are people meant to be expecting content for this game? 1 hour of story per year starting in 2017?

Chalks posted:I mean seriously, at what rate are people meant to be expecting content for this game? 1 hour of story per year starting in 2017? If the Crobblers could scale down his vision they could easily do it like Hitman episodes. Release one every quater, 1 hour of story with 3-4 hour of mission. Every new content (ship, zone, profession, ect) debut in the SQ42 game as a kind of tutorial and then goes to PU once the next episode is released. You get to tease the players in the PU with the new ship they just enjoyed in the latest SQ42 mission (Buy now !) and instead of stupid demos and sizzle reels you are actually making usable assets for your game. Skellybones posted:I wonder why they had studios in Ukraine, Turkey, Hungary, Germany, South Korea, China, and Bulgaria all at once. I would say licensing and tech support in the region major language. Easier to outsource to locals once enough people in that region use your product instead of trying to find turkish or russian speaking tech support where your main office is. Also in the case of China, if you dont have a corporate foothold there and pay some bribes you get royally hosed over any intellectual property right. aleksendr fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Dec 20, 2016 |

Dont be so hasty to declare swan song over them. They can still pump a few M$ out of the most fanatical cultists, as long as they dont release anything they wont get reviewed by main press and as for jail this is strictly white collar crimes so mostly fines and maybe a civil suit for a miserable ammount (most of the money is already gone in furniture, salary and mocap fees. If this goes tits up they probably have very little assets.) The whole thing is starting to smell worse, but unless they get hit by something unforseen we have yet to see the end of Clown Stimperium.
