Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

So I will state this, as it is fairly obvious that you have no programming or development background. You see, when you develop code, you use a piece of software called a source control management system (SCM). The SCM keeps track of the original code from the very first version, and all the changes that have been made to it (not just the changes made, but the pieces, bits that are all needed to be changed at the same time, as well as comments and information about those changes such as why the change was made). You see, with all that information, you can easily roll-back and forward changes. You can branch the code into various independent systems which might have code conflicts (i.e. two teams working on the same function), and you can merge branches together to see what is truly conflicting code (i.e. a single line of code that has two different methods of operating).

Now, if you havn't already realized that with the functionality that all basic software developers have at their fingers for everyday work, you should have just realized that you can easily take another branch of an engine, (i.e. the lumberjack branch of CryEngine) and merge changes you have made to a different branch (i.e. StarEngine). Can there be conflicts? Sure. Will there be conflicts? Unknown. You and I don't have enough information about that unless we had the source code and tried to merge the branches together. It is exactly as has been stated, there doesn't appear to be any lost functionality so far in 2.6. And since the work has already been completed, it didn't take more than a couple months to have done (since it is obviously already been done).

I see no reason to nitpick or disbelieve their claims that the integration of their stuff from Cryengine to Lumberyard went smoothly. By all accounts Lumberyard is just Cryengine + Amazon's networking stuff. If the majority of the stuff that Amazon added or changed was in the networking and the core & rendering stuff was left alone then yes, it should be easy for CIG to keep their changes and get it working while still using CIG's existing networking code & servers. If they said it didn't take a ton of time and it demonstrably happened then I think that we can take their word for it in this instance. I don't believe the "2 guys did it in 2 hours on their lunchbreak" part of their claim, 1-2 days is probably more reasonable.

Yes, you are right. It would only take two days if they didn't actually integrate the core Lumberyard components into the game, which was pretty much what Erin was implying. But is a little disingenuous to say that it is lumberyard if the only thing you are including are the extensions for AWS, and none of the core networking/ui/etc changes. It also means if Amazon does something like Vulkan/DX12, they can't put it into Star Citizen without it becoming a nightmare. So it's a double edged sword.

I wouldn't be surprised if the change was more to do with the licensing than the technology. If they were only licensed to release one game, you can see Crytek coming after them for Squadron 42 (x3).

But... The critics don't understand how difficult and complex it is to create a game... Of course it would only take a couple of man days to change engines!

Hmmmm. I think that guy is still pushing off air. You shouldn't be able to turn around in a vacuum from a stationary position, and end up in the same posture, without pushing off something or throwing something out. Technically, pushing off or throwing off something twice. I can imagine scenarios where you have like a weighted hula hoop around you, and you rotate it one way while you turn the other, but it shouldn't be doable without movable counterweight objects like that.

I'm not totally convinced I'm right, as I'm imagining a cat folding itself in a "U", then turning inside out, but that still has unbalanced inertia. Either way, afterwords he keeps spinning and has to steady himself. He picked up angular momentum from somewhere. Pushing against air.

Yup, it's fairly similar to how you'd rotate yourself axially in water without using your flippers.
Except anyone who's ever done this under water would tell you that using your palms would be way more efficient (you move in one direction with the palm dead on, and the other with the palm in a "chopping" position - you get more thrust from one direction than the other and thus net a positive momentum in one direction).

Chris wasn't jumping ship at all, makes so much sense! Crytek figuratively smoldering days prior was just a coincidence!

Apparently, the fanboys reckon the whole gaming world is waiting with baited breath for star citizen, they have it in their heads that its some sort of superstar of a game.

Reality is most gamers couldn't give a single poo poo if it comes out or not. But don't tell them that as they seem to think their citizen tracker represents the entire gaming community.
