Nah. If you recall from the old thread, I used to defend CIG's position while also acknowledging some well-laid-out points here, but after a bunch of posturing, insults and whatnot, decided to just let it ride. Right now, I'm just playing the waiting game until the game is released. CIG went quiet a while ago in that they are not as vocal about development as they used to be. When they were, the received criticism and ridicule all the time, which was likely counterproductive to their daily work. I think they're just working hard and quietly to produce their game and will shut the naysayers down once released. Good on them.

This is a disappointing wet noodle reply. Sort of expected it. :shrug:

I'm not going to jump another goon or person and tell them their opinion is wrong, I'd just still like to know when you believe Chris Roberts and when you don't. This seems to be the critical part here.

Everybody believes him, until it's found he lied or was totally wrong, then he was just joking/misunderstood/etc. So at this point, for things he says today, when do you believe him and when is it a lie; before it's proven that he lied?

How many lies will it take before it becomes "maybe this guy doesn't really know what he's doing..." territory? How many lies do you tolerate from international corporations before you tend to not believe them?

How many times would you believe Microsoft if they said: "In two weeks we release Windows 17, which is basically the Matrix!" And you buy a pre order, and even have the opportunity to pay a subscription to get Office Virtual 17, but it's not released yet, but you pay anyhow for the cool development updates.

And two weeks rolls around and they delay it, and keep delaying for two or three years before they tell you there really is no release date any more since their creativity is being stifled, and along the way they release something like Windows 98, and it's not at all like the Matrix.

All this time though, people keep pre ordering, and keep paying for that Office subscription, and keep getting YouTube updates that appear to be going backwards, and Windows 98 is still Windows 98. The Matrix seems like a long way off, but Microsoft still pushes it in your face, has events, tells people it's awesome and almost done...

When do you stop believing?

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

So, Turbulent is working on the patcher? I guess that could work, but I kind of assumed the development studio that's actually making the game would handle that kind of thing, and not the contractor handling their website. You know, unless the development studio is somehow incompetent.

That honestly just seems to make things more complicated. Baffling.

Top Gear was really a comedy sketch show in the guise of a serious automobile review program. They're now "The Grand Tour" on Amazon, which CIG has cribbed their ship sales presentation videos from.

I don't even understand what's happening anymore. Spectrum isn't a small company. I think it's basically Time/Warner bought and rebranded. It's one of the top five cable companies in the US if I'm not mistaken. And this was an advertisement for Spectrum, not CiG. How the hell has Croberts weaseled his way into being an endorsement for such a large company. It boggles my loving mind.

Also, what does "15-25 builds a day" even mean?

Well, friend, how many 3D modelers do you think have the knowledge to build a patcher even with a tutorial to follow? Because outside of 3D modeling, CIG is running a bit scarce on actual programming talent.

That sounds kind of funny then. I could get behind a comedy sketch about cars. Though I'm also not entirely sure how it'd go, but judging from British humor it'd be kind of funny but not quite hit the mark. Not to say that there haven't been absolutely genius funny British stuff, it's not usually centered around making cars funny. But thank you for the explanation, I appreciate it! :)

Tell them that you and Derek share a bond over the success of Star Citizen. Let them know you moderate a forum on a little known comedy website dedicated to nothing but talking about what CIG is up to.

Make it all sound like you are a huge supporter, then ask as you look them square in the eye:
