Whenever the confidence scam finally dissolves supply will explode by 100x while demand hits 0 and all past prices are immediately invalidated. The only sales at that point will be like the Star Citizen equivalent of those guys that went around buying Mt Gox bitcoin holdings from people at reduced rates because they thought they were taking advantage of other people and would profit for buying $10,000 Mt Gox dollars for $2,000, when really they are just throwing away $2,000 to cut the loss of someone else from $10,000 to $8,000. The people who have huge stockpiles of ships that run stores on the star citizen ship trading reddit are probably already hosed

Last time I checked the grey market already looked hosed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of accounts and ships out there at 70~80% of cost and no one buying. The "I'll just sell my ships on the grey market if things start looking too bad" line is loving retarded and is just another lie that backers tell themselves to justify their continued involvement in this shitshow.

The Titanic posted:This is exactly the kind of stuff you want to hear from people claiming to be making breakthrough new technology in the MMO market. You know why we couldn't deliver SC? It wasn't the Goons. It wasn't Derek. The Internet isn't built right to accommodate it's majesty. So we are launching a new KickStater for CitizeNet .01. This will accommodate all your CIG gaming needs. Our first stretch goal is to help you find housing, so, when you inevitably move to one of the cities where our Space Data Centers are located, since a CitizeNet cable can only go so far from a Space Data Center. Our second stretch goal is our WankPod class CIG apartments. Each one will be comfortingly womb-like in size and guarantee you a max speed CitizeNet connection AND a SLIDING SPACE DOOR! Each hallway will feature an authentic replica Big Benny's machine, all of which are sadly non-functional due to the agonizing costs of the Vanduul War.

Daztek posted:http://weekender.pcgamer.com/whats-on/developer-stage I think the gaming industry IS highly anticipating the 'release' of these two products, but not for the reasons SC backers think. I think the gaming industry will enjoy making/reading the scathing reviews of the janky, bug-ridden, grossly mismanaged mess that is 'SC release 1.0' - it will serve as a very good example of what can happen when a project doesn't have any competent oversight, like you get when a publisher has control, or indeed anybody that actually knows what they're doing. SC release 1.0 will probably* have very nice graphics though. *If RSI aren't forced to sacrifice 'fidelity' in order to obtain reasonable performance

The Titanic posted:They're gonna bake as much of their goals into the FPS portion as possible I'm going to bet. I generally agree with you on most topics, but not this one. At this point, with the management mess and the close to breaking coding team, I figure we would only get something relatively comparable to Space Bunnies Must Die. I have played some truly horrible games in my years of gaming, and that holds, in my pantheon, the title for the worst game I have ever seen or played. And, yes, before you ask, I did purchase at full retail (hoping for the sort of stupid but fun game action given by things like Redneck Rampage). It didn't even come close. At this point, I am completely unable to underestimate the power of CIG to make a buggy, derivative crapfest, no matter what genre they shoot for.

What... the gently caress... is wrong with these people??!? 'I know it looks as though CIG has been repeatedly trying and failing to make a game for the past 5 years but that's just because our puny little brains can't comprehend the true complexity of what's happening. Basically, Chris Roberts and all at CIG exist in a higher plane of being than we can ever aspire to. You need to ignore what your brain is telling you and throw your full belief behind the dream. These people are scientists and pioneers and will one day be remembered alongside the greats... Archimedes, Newton, Roberts.' I don't know why I took the time to parody the post when his may well be crazier than mine.

Although we've all had a laugh following the Star Citizen thread, let's remember that mental illness is a mental, behavioral or emotional disorder (excluding developmental and substance use disorders) resulting in serious functional impairment, which substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities. Examples of serious mental illness include major depressive disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Who the gently caress will buy another racer the easiest way to relate to a backer on this one is to not see it as a purchase of a racer but answering a question. "Is Star Citizen Good?" answering yes is the purchase of the sale item. answering No is not spending money. You can plug "Is the Dream Real?" or "Will I be happy in my Alternate Life in the Verse" for the question but buying sale items are just validations for their opinions at this point. Probably <10% of the buyers even look at the ship itself.

I must say, I am lolling at the idea of having to flick my hands under a hot water tap like a cat, as my Hot faucet produces such outrageously steaming hot water if I don't also run the Cold to temper it out (which if run by itself is glacially cold). e: I guess with two taps you put down the stopper and fill the sink and wash your hands in it like a little basin?

Has anyone said Chris Roberts is the Donald Trump of game devs? so many parallels with the rise to their positions, massive Krugar Dunning factor, both the epitome of lovely/meddling/micromanaging bosses that are way out of their depth, scamming shitlords dumb enough to probably believe their own nonsense, narcissism, out of touch, armies of mindless minions, this list just goes on...
