Sappo569 posted:hosed up if true. But after that one developer crowd funding his daughters hospital bill or whatever it is nothing would surprise me Tbf I think that was mostly due to him not understanding how insurance works and rather than read his policy he immediately ran to gofundme. Which makes sense when you consider who he works for.

Star Citizen dev says Crytek closures will have no impact on his game http://www.polygon.com/2016/12/20/14029448/star-citizen-crytek-closures-impact-squadron-42-star-marine quote:“Won’t impact us one bit,” Swofford said via email. He said that he personally checked with studio head and creative lead Chris Roberts. quote:[in regards to S42 delay]"We want to do it right," Roberts said at the time. "It’s really important to do it right. ... For all the polish we need to do, it still needs more time." Everything is fine.

Baxta posted:It's not about the money. I just want to play the stupid spaceship game but I can't see it happening because the more I look into it, the more amazingly stupid this company seems to be. It's not so much about getting your money back, it's about taking money out of the hands of these literal scammers. Are you familiar with the full list of promised features that this game has? The kickstarter list of features is about as reliable as its Nov 2014 delivery date. Is there actually a website with a full list of promised SC features? I feel like it's something someone must have put together by this point.

Play E:D or Astroneer, or Space Engineer, or Empyrion or Osiris or Everspace or plenty of other option, designed and delivered for less than 60$ USD (ok, maybe more for E:D if not on sale, but hey, Christmas sale coming soon) Plenty of good space game for all time and budget out there.

You can update them if you get the refund, but either way you still got hosed. Cig isnt a bank they misled you and held your money hostage for years. The only thing that got them to even consider refunding you is they are poo poo scared the lawsuits they would trigger if didnt. Hell they wouldnt win arbitration under the favorable circumstances of having chosen and paid for the mediation. The ceo's wife all but told you to go gently caress yourself. gently caress them beer.

Send all the letters. My case is more persuasive if I've demonstrated a willingness to work with the company and a polite, reasonable tone. I have no intention of issuing a complaint about how CIG didn't provide me with a refund unless they start to jerk me around, ignore me, or basically do all the various things that consumer protection agencies and attorneys consider to be poor behavior. That said if they continue to ignore me I'll follow through.

Gamasutra: Miyamoto: 'You can't just throw every good idea you have into a game'Shigeru Miyamoto posted:You can’t just throw every good idea you have into a game. The idea has to connect up with something else in the game, and there needs to be consistency between the ideas. Shigeru Miyamoto posted:“I believe that ideas are limitless. These days, the world is overflowing with them. It’s a game designer’s job to figure out how to compile and program them into a video game," said Miyamoto. "I think that the ability to collect and organize things is even more important to making games than the power of imagination and creativity."

Quite possible. Looking at the ammount of SM video this FPS is so dated in its idea and execution that if pitched outside of the SC 'laxy it would probably not even clear steam greenlight. Its your basic, run of the mill lshooter with short TTK and regenerating health on a space station. Thats it, thats all there is to it. If that thing dont get 2 new map and a new mode by February it will be so stale you could hammer nails with it.

Unfunny Poster posted:They actually recently moved the servers to Iceland. There was a plan to build some large scale data warehousing in Iceland at one point. They have decent conditions and renewable energy, but so far not many people are biting, mainly because of the links, I suspect. Also a fairly high cost of living for the engineers that inevitably end up working onsite.

You'll all be sorry when 3.0 surpasses all expectations and supplies procedural birds out the rear end.

'I'm just backing the MOST AMBITIOUS GAME EVER' is neither a good idea or relevant defense when the scope of your ambitious game is 'all the stuff'. That talk is cheap, but delivering on that, even for the an experienced and talented studio proves to be really hard. It just stuns me that is a nontrivial number of people can be promised absolutely everything and they don't have the introspection or sense to examine those claims and say, 'maybe I'm being lied to for money...'

That said if they continue to ignore me I'll follow through. Theres more to complain about than the refund process. They straight up lied to get your money, and used that to cynically bilk more people like you out of theirs. In a court proving fraud may be pretty hard without a source but do you for a second believe they ever honestly thought they could get 1000 people in an instance? That poo poo like nested instances is even a loving thing? That they did this poo poo with inexperienced devs making less than industry average? Do they even hold patents on any code whatsoever that would allow them to do any of this poo poo? That they have some magic network guru that can defy the laws of physics, yet cant make a loving patcher in 4 years time? I could go on and on. These are bold over the top claims that use magic technology they cant even loving explain the concept of. Of which no prototypes exist. Where in their company are the hiding this dev who is about to shatter everything we know about networking? I mean that tech would be worth enough money for a venture capital firm to buy out the company outright and shutter the project just to get the patent, and they would still make money. This is fraud. Complain about that.
