As I understand it, they merged with TWC and Bright House, which is why all my bills have this on them:



My dad works for comcast (nothing evil) and when it looked like the Comcast TWCable merger was going through I was trying to get him to lobby superiors to unironically call the spin-off company Kabletown from 30 Rock. Of course, his voice wouldn't have mattered, they would have gone with Greatland Connections™ if the FCC didn't slam the door.

What's bullshit is that you promised me ground vehicles in the last long mile of 2016 and I still can't get around your lovely map-editor of a game. I'm also over 2 hours so Steam won't give me my money back. :negative:

1 - wrong. promised no such thing. unlike you CIG clowns, we actually have a roadmap that's never changing according to whims.

2 - wrong. if you actually owned/played the game, you'd know that you currently have so many ways to get around the game world (stations, space, planets), that you'd stop counting at 5

3 - wrong. if you actually owned the game, you'd know that you can get a full refund from Steam at any time within their guidelines (including Early Access)

None of this is going to make Star Citizen any less of a scam. And when all is said and done, like with all my games - unlike Star Citizen / Squadron 42, the game will be completed and released.

Your turn.

I predicted an engine change for last year. For 2017 I predict that CIG are going to announce a delay on SQ42 and that it won't ship with the first release of Star Citizen. They will also swap out the SQ42 package everyone owns with a "replacement ship of higher value" and say the initial release of SQ42 will be free.

The thinking being that SQ42 is a broken mess and if they dump it to "later", possibly with a shiny trailer they can call the Star Citizen game done released, wait out the resulting drama and the two week refund period. Then go bust only owing backers the value of SQ42 which is now "free".

First off, it doesn't count unless you put it in your blog.

Secondly, that will not work with the megawhales. They already have the best of JPeGs.

2016 might have been a horrible year for just about everything but shooters. Overwatch, BF1, DOOM, TF2 among others. Then SM released as CIGs year end capstone and its thoroughly mediocre to bad depending on what you compare it to and whether or not the server are making GBS threads themselves.

Slightly more seriously, there is a log progression of the number of clients that can connect to a single 'instance', and the latency curve looks a lot like that.
