All of the advanced tech that CIG has developed such as meshy instance, procedural planet generation, and sentient AI, is all being sold to other companies for a lot of money and it's the reason why CIG already has enough money to complete Star Citizen and will never have to charge a prescription fee to maintain the servers or develop Star Citizen 2 which will allow you to import your Star Citizen character and retain all of your stuff. *breathes in but passes out anyway*

Amazon has also invested big moneys on Star Citizen, since they need CIG's precious fidelity code and 64bit precision to enhance Lumberyard.

If you want to have passion it should be about something constructive. Like I'm passionate about RPGs and I can discuss these all day long. You seem to be passionate about(or against in this case)...someone being happy about the progress of videogame development. TrustmeImLegit fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Jan 15, 2017 |

Do you think CIG has a Squadron 42 commercial yet? I think they've probably made one (or more), but it's so bad that they scrapped it.

Like Dragon Age inquisition, although you do sort of do em in order.

Basically Witcher 3 has a few extremely large zones you travel within that aren't directly connected. It's still definitely a fun game world to ecolire.

No one is threatened by Star Citizen. Dreams are pleasant things, and are also non-refundable. Star Citizen is a cactus field, where delirious commandos hack at those prickly growths with blunted machetes, declaring that water lurked somewhere between the pain, agony and heatstroke.

TrustmeImLegit posted:I mean a lot of goons are heavy backers. Didn't one of the mods only just get a refund for hundreds of dollars? One of the reasons why the people in this thread are so resentful of the project is that pretty much everyone here believed in it in the past. There was a time where the goons had the largest "fleet" in the game. We believed in the game until it became clear that we were being lied to, tricked into giving money to fund an egotist's voyage of discovery to find out that actually he's not a genius or even particularly visionary. It's ironic that the continued support of a minority of backers makes us angry at their stupidity, because without them we wouldn't have been able to get almost all of our money refunded. $300,000+ has been refunded to just the people on this site. I guess it's only fair that we try our best to discourage people from spending more money on the game. Every time they do, they pay money directly into the pockets of people who are smart enough to get a refund. Eventually, probably within the next 12 months, the funding is going to stop and so will the refunds. When that happens, there are going to be a large group of backers left holding the bag - the least we can do is discourage everyone we encounter from being in that group.

There was a time where the goons had the largest "fleet" in the game. I can't change how people feel and its unfortunate many of you feel that way. I was just countering the assertion that "nobody here is threatened by the game". There clearly is some bad blood here. Some people feel like their decision to get a refund or the opinions they've made many posts on for years will be invalidated if anything even remotely positive comes out of the star citizen community. Its a classic sunk cost fallacy. Its why we get so many kneejerk posts. Like someone posts a tweet "Star Citizen is shaping up to be a great game" and like 3 people trip over themselves to say "its not a game smug"
