According to this, goons had spent 13% of the total in ships purchased, and were the largest org by :tenbux: spent? Is that true? And the community didn't see that group turning on the game and pulling out as a warning sign?

Hello fellow goon from last decade.

Has anyone mentioned that while developing an AAA game, they also had to build a company? I think this explains time spent.
Besides, most games take like three or four hardware- and/or human generations to develop, and that's just for the annual Call of Duty reskins.

That Twitch stream is hilarious. "Sure, the game seems terrible and buggy now, but maybe this Lumberyard thing will be great."

Twerk17 was so close. "The only reason 2019 would be a problem is because they originally said it was 2016."

Just a thought. If they DO a concept ship/sale based on Carrie Fisher's death, I will actually be actively wishing harm on them, which I currently am forborn against. As in nasty, bloody, fiery harm. All of them.

After making excuses for not delivering anything for 4 years now, it's become second nature to them. Hilarious to watch. Someone should make a list of top 100 CIG excuses. The one from last year: "oh sorry we forgot to mention, one of developers broke his arm last week so we're delaying the release of today's patch indefinitely" has to be in the top 5 all-time for sure.

So the new revised updated explanation is that they patched the ("legacy") 3.7 version of LY which in other words was the 3.7 CryEngine with the diff-patch from Star Engine which was forked off 3.7 CE. That was the 2 days work (why do that in the first place? for the license maybe? Does it count if you are not actually using the LY code though?)

New features of LY proper (fork off 3.8.x whatever) are not added and probably have not even been evaluated if they are worth adding or how much of a nightmare merging to that would be.

Does that sound pointless to anyone else, too? Or just me then?
I think this explanation gets better and better.

I believe the Star Engine was a modified version of Cryengine 3.7 + 4 years worth of CIG crap

Now Star Engine is Lumberyard (- changes amazon made to Cryengine 3.8 & - changes Crytek made 3.7 > 3.8) (+ 4 years worth of CIG crap)

+ A new lumberyard splash screen.

It's odd all the bugs are the same.
