ManofManyAliases posted:Funny, [url= http://cd.textfiles.com/pcgamesexe/pcge199807/BC3KAD/BC3KPR11.TXT]in your own words[/url] your company was bleeding money (both yours and others that were given to you), enhancing just how desperate you were to sell off the rights to BC3000 and 2 other games. No wonder why - Take Two bled money and needed to recoup what they could. 618k is not chump change after all. Nice try. Explain, in very few words, how any of that amounts to "your company was bleeding money". TIP: There are 5 occurrences of "money" in that missive. And none of them amount to anything you just wrote. And since math is hard, you didn't actually read the SEC financials, or you'd know how the 15% revenue plays into their numbers. Because yeah, what a company filing to go public wants to do, is include a product that lost them money. Because, you know, that makes so much sense. Newsflash: I put all my money into something that I wanted to do. Not money from Spergs. Publisher pays for their end (marketing, publishing, store presence) ps: No matter how you try to distort facts, or continue your revisionist history - much like your iron-clad ToS, it will never be fact. You see, facts aren't hard. Lies are. Again, keep trying though. It's hilariously entertaining.

No, I think it's the fact that I've leaked their console aspiration plans today, coupled with the other beat down from the past days in which that lying scam artist croberts has gone on the record as saying that Star Citizen is in fact a Ponzi scheme.

MeLKoR posted:It shows the average backer spending $17 when the cheapest ship costs 3 times that. I don't know what it's showing but that can't be right. What it's showing is "if you take a particular set of assumptions about how much the average forum account with a given title on the RSI forums spends, then this is the average spending per forum account with an enlist date in Q1 2017". The actual numbers in the graph are not supposed to be taken literally (I don't have access to detailed spending information), but more indicative of a trend that emerges in the analysis. So it's really not something that should be considered devoid of the context of the wall of words that surround it. Also, since we are considering forum accounts, not paying backers, it is very possible for an account's spending to be $0, and thus for the average spending per account to be less than the cheapest ship.

boviscopophobic posted:So for instance, out of 103,589 accounts established between June 2016 and January 2017, 4 of them are now Wing Commanders, 19 are Space Marshals, etc. Backer investments generally isn't slowly incrementing though - I mean for the biggest whales it is, but for most backers they buy a package and that's what they get. When you're looking at the high end of pledges I imagine many of those are "level ups" but the majority of accounts will have been created at that level and will stay that way. If I'm reading the stats correctly, in the time period only 1-2% of the most common account levels upgraded at all. I'm not sure that the graph can be explained by having a constant sign up account value with 1-2% upgrading every 6 months. I think it's far more likely that older accounts started life as higher value accounts on average, and that the majority of the frequently upgrading whales are older which emphasises this pattern. As time goes on, accounts are lower value on average and they are less likely to upgrade.

So personal insults. That usually only happens when someone doesn't have an argument to make, let alone the ability to make one. So ahead and show me precisely where they "lost" $618K on my game. I'll wait right here. Also, are you willing to perma-toxx over it? Funny story. Their financials on my game, coupled with their PROFITS are what shaped our settlement agreement and determined my payout. But you know, those are just trivial details. Especially when you consider how much they sold and licensed (to third parties like GameTek) Enter Interplay who two years later after I fixed it on my own, and again with my own money, took at look at the numbers, saw that the game did poorly, lost another publisher $618K, but thought "Yeah, this is a good plan. Let's put over a million dollars into your v2.0 version re-release". <---- "compelled you to do so", you mean as in I said "no", then left, and they release it, got sued, and settled? you mean like that sort of compelling? You're gonna need more coffee. http://archive.li/65EGr quote:August 5,1998 D_Smart fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Jan 16, 2017 |

Not much, mind you, God knows they need the money, but at least some token gesture of good faith. Sure, your ironclad TOS is full of holes but what can they expect from an unpaid goon?

So we're at ad hominem attacks now to get people's attention away from the dumpster fire that is Star Citzen? Like, ok, DS hasn't had the most amazing game dev career (if you could even call them "games"), but that doesn't mean the poo poo Chris Roberts is pulling is right or that what Derek or anyone else in this thread has said is wrong.

I was gifted a package and then upgraded to the Flying Coffin LN (so I could access backer stuff, no joke, you are not a backer with a gifted package until you spend some of your own money). So I'm in for $10.

Yeah, and they get tax breaks for bad investments, as well as other adjustments individual people don't get. Not to mention, selecting, investing in and publishing games IS THEIR BUSINESS. That is what they do.

aleksendr posted:The Expanse is good (i loved the first books better then the last ones) but its 0.22 Nielsen rating (0.7 M viewer) is nothing, not even a glimpse, compared to Game of Thrones 4.3 with Bear in mind that scify itself was a wasteland for science fiction for the longest time, but I wouldn't entirely bank on it remaining niche forever. Accepted wisdom was there wasn't the demographic for an entirely black casted show on primetime and boom, 'Empire'. Don't count it out, these successes come out of left field.

D_Smart posted:Not to forget the fact that for them to even do a console port of anything, they would need to remain in business as a going concern because it's not going to fund itself to get on the console. They still need the money from backers. That reminds me of something you definitely expect to see in the accounts of a well-run company.

Just a reminder, it's absolutely not normal to spend all day every single day for months on end following people on twitter and reddit, compiling all their personal information to make injokes and callbacks. It is also morally hosed up to doxx or send death threats to people, especially if their heinous crime was liking a videogame. Thank you.

The Titanic posted:I'm just glad that despite everything, even when huge laughing stock idiots like Cymellion was discovered to be being harassed, the general consensus of the people in the thread was to leave the guy alone and let him have his opinion. Nobody was all "lol go reck him!" Unfortunately I'm sure the reddit guys (and probably Cymellion himself) will gleefully overlook those facts. This was very much to the point. I consider this to be nothing more than an interactive daytime soap opera for nerds. Which is cool and fun and at the end of the day, a pretty harmless form of entertainment.

I would love some high production value Sci-Fi, Something like BSG before the writer guild strike crippled it beyond repair ("33" being one of the best Tv i ever enjoyed). Maybe Blade Runner 2049 or the next Star-Treck will re-ignite the sci-fi interest in mainstream. GITS might surprise us, even if i dont have a lot of hope for it.

shrach posted:That reminds me of something you definitely expect to see in the accounts of a well-run company. You're reading it backwards. The assumption is that the business will continue to exist in the next year, and that the financials have been prepared and signed to reflect this (without any material misstatements or uncertainties that would cast doubt on this premise). In this case, the auditor agrees with the directors' assessment and offers the opinion as "unqualified," meaning no modifications to this decision in the auditor's report. If you do not make this assessment, then why even continue to present financials? That's what this means.
