BadOptics posted: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. Ad homs are THE standard Citizenry go to. I have yet to see a Citizen argue a point, past, say 5 interchanges without calling someone a name.

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:Every single drat time one of these videos pops up with a dev talking it's always : we're planning to, considering to, thinking about, working on" The real key to understanding all of the bullshit that CIG flings out is to pay close attention to the operating language that they use just like this. In politics those are considered weasel words and used as a lubricant to slide non answers past the audience before they can be called on it before moving on to touch on another subject that will obfuscate the subject even more. There is a simple quote that I use from Star Wars that I play in my head whenever someone tries to fast talk me with non answers.

For a well-run company there is no material uncertainty related to going concern and your directors do not have to make such statements. That is what this means. This is right. If you owe $200K but don't have a revenue stream to speak of, they require you to make a personal guarantee to avoid winding up proceedings to try and make good on the amount that you owe. The personal guarantee removes the outstanding liability from the judgement of it being a 'going concern' and avoids messy discussions about 'how are you going to pay this money back' with Her Majesty's Excise men. Submission of accounts usually requires proving that you're not just some shell company acruing liabilities to walk away under the limited liability statutes; no, you have to prove that you're an ongoing shell company acruing some liabilities to eventually walk away under limited liability statues.

I have finally decided that I am done with this game. As of now, four years in, this community still gets by on wishes, rainbows, and fairy dust. This "game" only exists in our minds as we envision swooping over a planet in our massive idrisses and picture epic corridor to corridor gunfights, capital ships blasting away at each other with swarms of fighters buzzing in between and engineers making emergency repairs. All of that is our imagination at work. Look at what we actually have. A bunch of small tech demos that still break frequently and haven't been significantly advanced in over a year. We have a substandard FPS module that, while a great first attempt, is not indicative of mechanics that should be pretty much wrapped up at this point for the single player game. Some of the wins that have been celebrated are tiny. Glass that breaks? Flashy glowing pickup icons in arena commander? Wow, color me impressed! The ship sales have led to bait and switch after bait and switch as ships are nerfed or redesigned before they ever come out. We have marketing tactics that would make EA' blush with embarrassment and we've had some of the worst live streams I have ever seen over the past few months. We have what is basically hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of DLC ships that are going to jack up game balance to all hell when this thing finally comes out. At this point, who knows if SQ42 even exists? Why is it so difficult to show us the game? 4 years into development the project shouldn't even remotely feel like it may be a sham but this game continues to have an off putting stink to it. When delays happen for the PU it's because they were working on SQ42, when they happen for SQ42 it's because of the PU. I hope that this game winds up being great but I think it's a pipe dream. For everyone here who pumped at least a thousand dollars into this dream I hope it comes out and you feel like you've gotten your money's worth but I'm done with this sham.

Foundry 42 Derby Office self.starcitizen submitted an hour ago by Upsilznew user/low karma I was looking at the Cloud Imperium Gales website (https://cloudimperiumgames.com/jobs) when I saw 3 new job positions available for the "Animation" category in UK Derby Office. Anybody knows what is exactly the purpose of the Foundry 42 Derby Office, I never heard about it ? https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/5odelb/foundry_42_derby_office/

Chalks posted:It shows that new backers are spending substantially less than their predecessors did. This shows that no matter what CIG does to try to attract new backers they're not finding new whales. Free fly weekends may increase the exposure of the game, but it they do very little to increase funding. I sense a better strategy in releasing "Star Citizen" and "SQ42" for mobile phones, not much needed except flashy videos, tasty jpgs and empty promises by uncle ben, every phone can run that - but please in landscape format only. Seeing the outrageous amounts spent on f2p titles, it also gives you easy access to recruit naggers and teach them easy ways to max out daddies credit card for the 'verse.

ManofManyAliases posted:You know what, yeah - kind of. Microshit bought out Freelancer so that could be released, but at least kept him on to consult. What exactly did Crobber do in his consulting role? What did he actually contribute to the development? Because his credits according to moby are "concept" and "special thanks". Doesn't suggest he had a lot of input. Traditionally the title of consultant in this context is code for "we booted them out and wanted nothing more to do with them but didn't want to just come out and say it because it might look bad and we still need to make a profit".
