Wait just a minute! A CIG developer that doesn't understand game development? Why is the Citizenry not up in arms over this?

The most visible example of just how dumb CIG was at the time is probably the smug pretense post. Years later it's still amazing to me that :lesnick: thought that was a good idea, but then that's a guy that 18 months later decided to call out Derek Smart on the interweb and get him to shut the gently caress up with an epic putdown.

Whoa, wait, so MoMA was banning people in their forums and we have not returned the favor. Derek, tell your puppet mods to make me one too and I'll take care of the issue.

Their planned MVP has been pretty clear. Star Citizen is just a 'game mode' launcher.

"Look, it's both a space simulator and FPS. *loads AC and SM*
But it's also an open world game. *loads Baby PU*
There are full sized planets you can seamlessly visit *brings up that key pad screen* *types in 4 digit code* *2 seconds later is MegaMapped from wank pod to a totally empty NMS planet*
Plus it's a MMO *loads Social Module; buys pants*
Finally, there's a triple AAA singleplayer with celebrities and exciting missions. *loads Morrow Tour 2.0, featuring Gary Oldman(as performed by Chris Roberts) in hours of unskipable cutscenes* *missions are all singleplayer versions of the previously mentioned modules*
What more do you people want?! No refunds."

It's just sad even that's almost 2 years behind schedule now.

No, wait, that's actually sound logic because who else would gently caress a thumb? (Please no link to the thumb-fucker reddit)

Ammonium chloride is a salt. :colbert:



Also this chat made me remember I was at the supermarket that sells salted licorice the other week and forgot to get any.

Elite Dangerous is over 2 years old, with 2 complete DLC and at least one more on the way.

At what point do you stop caring that people may not be buying a game; or that most people who were going to buy it probably already did >3 years ago when it was also in alpha/beta?

This is like being afraid that the release of Horizons: New Dawn might take players away from playing Skyrim, and all the people playing Skyrim right now are fearful of this fact.

The peak ED purchase window is long gone, friends. It's all Steam sales and squeezing out the last drops of money from DLC before putting the whole mess in maintenance mode until the number of players playing it can warrant a shutdown.

Unfortunately for Star Citizen they're already in maintenance mode, and already barely have enough concurrent players to warrant any kind of server support. So I guess this is a sore subject. Maybe someday Star Citizen can go beyond the numbers that Farming Simulator 2015 brings in. But maybe not. :jerry:
