AP posted:Moma lies a lot, like about his reddit account, I just hope he's not been lying about still having $8k in ships, because lol, it's 2017 and there's no game and no sign of one either. What does your heart tell you? And yeah, they're all progressively angry while trying to keep up appearances. They're pissed that CIG/RSI have been unable to prove my theory ("Star Citizen as pitched can never be built") wrong; even as they scamper off with $140 million in gamer money. It's a tough pill to swallow; and since July 2015, I've given them a whole bottle of pills. TheAgent posted:hello These are all immaterial because what's in the works completely eclipses all of the above (whether true or not).

Warframe isn't an MMO. If Warframe is an MMO, Diablo 2 is an MMO. Diablo 2 isn't an MMO. Warframe isn't an MMO.

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:The more I think about this, the more bullshit it sounds. I know it's hard to believe so many people working have produced so little, but if there'd been a mass exodus over the last year we'd know about it. Also I think lying about the number of employees you've got by a factor of 3 or 4 in order to make the company seem more financially stable (in order to continue to pull in money) would probably push them straight into criminal fraud territory and they're dumb but I don't think they're that dumb.

Its insane that a team of nearly 400 people have accomplished so very little to show for. I dont think its a case that there aren't 400 people working on the game right now, but rather that they have a bunch of people that are incapable of meeting Chris demands. This isn't a slight against the people working at CIG though, you could have the best engineers in there and they'd still struggle to push out Chris's turd.

The 300+ people doesn't include contractors. CIG has had hundreds of people working on the project for years. The last behind the scenes is a perfect example of how CR fucks it all up and makes people focus on superfluous bullshit like a sand worm when they have tons of other assets to work on.

Yeah, I'd think a little over 300 people are part of CIG proper. The rest are web design jockeys at turbulent and the guys literally making the enemies fleet for their single player game thats supposed to come out this year and that we've not actually seen hide or hair from. The guys that had to be contracted to do their work after saying that they didn't need any more contractors because they were doing everything in house now. The guys that had to be brought in because your staff is too busy redesigning every ship for the third time.

Star Citizen is definitely my GOTY 2016 in every category simply because of this thread. Its the greatest game I'll never play. Star Citizen is one hell of an emotional rollercoaster and I don't think any of that is going to change in 2017. This game might be my game of the decade if they keep going the way they are going (They will and its only going to get worse).
