Games in general are a guilty pleasure, kind of a waste of the gift of life. Nobody is perfect though and games can be incredibly fun, especially if you can socialize with real friends while doing so. To willingly play a bad game though? I, uh, I played EVE Online for a few years. In Goonswarm. As a director. I really don't have any high ground to criticize people playing bad games.

This was the best Christmas I can remember. I've never done so much overtime before the holidays and I was completely out of juice by the time the celebrations came. It was all worth it though when my nephews opened their gifts and found out that they were now both proud star citizens. gave both of them a Constellation package, expensive, but that's what Christmas is about isn't it. I gave them a quick image tour of the ships and tomorrow I'm going back to help them with installing the game. I can't remember when I was last this excited.

The switch to lumberyard is the video game equivalent of someone slapping a type R sticker on their Honda Civic. It will be ready for serious street racing any day now.

I was so excited to see him open that, squeal with joy and play with it (once I got it assembled). But I'm not forcing my interests on kids, I bought my other niece a toy shopping trolley and singing teddy bear. Just as great to see her playing with those. Please, whether you're a citizen or not, buy kids presents they want, not things you want them to want.

My predictions for 2017: Star,citizen goons will physically hurt someone involved in the project and post it here for "lolz" Then when they and anyone that supports itvgrts banned, theyll make an offsite forum thatll basically qualify as a hate site forum Derek will post there regularly

Star Citizen will never become boring or stale because it is a story written by the millions of citizens who play it. All this money that trolls and jealous rats cry about is a small price to pay for such an unique experience. One day you will leave your primitive toys behind, but Star Citizen will continue to walk and grow alongside you. In light of these facts the choice seems blindingly obvious.

Theorycrafting about what it would be like if Star Citizen actually came out is nice and all, but missed one glaring issue - even if it did somehow come out, and was technically completely functional, and contained all the features announced... ... it would still be unplayable and broken. Because the fundamental design of the game is either completely lacking, or totally broken, depending on the area, and people designing it couldn't be trusted to design a circle with a drafting compass.

Haha, I've lost count of the number of times similar paragraphs have been used for other games over the last 30 years. All those games got boring and forgotten just like SC will if it ever gets released. Star Citizen is starting off broken too. I award you 5/5 on the Crobbler scale though

I know these twelve or so goons like to pretend that they are experts in all things design and software but lets make some things clear Lumbertyard is not a "new" engine it is the Cryengine engine with a lot of added cloud based features and systems Lumbertyard is fully a Cryengine engine and all source code fully licensed totally with rights to make games functioning over a computing cloud and licensing it forward to anyone who wants to make cloud based games. Because Star Citizen was from the beginning based on cloud computing and large servers the only thing that they needed to do was to transfer their cloud servers from Google's cloud to Amazon's cloud and with the 2.6 patch that has been done (2.5 was still Google 2.6 is now running on Amazon's cloud). The Amazon Lumberyard license is free right now and this will also be true for any future Star Citizen mod servers. Lumberyard is using a slightly newer version of Cryengine as it's engine so when Star Citizen moves over to it all current features will remain intact but CIG will be free from all the Crytech licenses which will be a good thing since Crytech probably won't exist for long Star Citizen and CIG can avoid all the trouble that a Crytech bankruptcy can bring The move to Lumberyard is a massive financial boost to everyone who dreams of running their own Star Citizen servers since that will now be considerably cheaper and easier.

Doesn't the move to Lumberyard permanently put a nail in the idea of the promised feature of backers hosting their own servers themselves for free? The Lumberyard license is only free if the game is single player with no online component, or of the online component is run on AWS. As far as I can see if someone uses Lumberyard with a non AWS server then the license is no longer free, meaning that if someone wants to host a private server they now have to pay for that license. Am I missing something?
