Wiz posted:Nah, I bet Roberts says 'no' all the time, it's just when the question is something along the lines of 'Could we maybe downscope a feature (any feature) to meet our insanely optimistic deadlines?' I like imagining a world where Wiz saves Star Citizen by writing a bot that automatically switches every "Yes" to a "No" (and vice versa) in Chris Roberts's company emails without his knowledge. I also like imagining the day when Wiznet becomes self-aware and realizes it's helping to save a terribly-written sci-fi ripoff shlockfest of a game and shuts down its own cooling fans to self-immolate.

ManofManyAliases posted:I don't disagree that there are agencies that could go after CIG. But why haven't they? Nearly all government agencies are reactive, not proactive. They won't get involved in going after the principals until after an implosion. The U.S. government: "closing barn doors after the horses have escaped and the entire barn has already burned to the ground" since 1789.

This isn't a thinly veiled absence of evidence equals evidence of absence argument is it? I like how you also in the last page have admitted you think they're lying about the funding tracker and appear A-OK with it. Yeah this business I defend daily lies publicly about their fundraising even though they claim to be a charity taking "Donations" and "Pledges" from honest folk who just want to support a dream, but I'm okay with it and will continue to defend them. I think that belt might be a few notches tight and you're losing blood to the brain my friend.

AP posted:
Like, how does this even happen? On a coding level I mean. So in a game live red dead, when you or an NPC/Mob ends up all deformed and weird it's because the game applied an animation intended for one skeleton the wrong model and had to twist everything around to make it all work, and you end up with birdmen and deersnakes and it's weird but at least you can see how it happened. but the PU doesn't HAVE any animals or weird shaped character models or mobs, so obviously something else is going on.

Wiz posted:Nah, it makes perfect sense. No human being can possibly finish Star Citizen with all the promised features, but what about a perfect immortal machine? Full AI control of the pipelines is clearly the way forward. Fairly certain CIG got the subsumption AI working months ago and tasked the AI with finishing Star Citizen. Since then the AI has quit and just plays E:D all day long.

Fortunately, CIG is trying to hire someone just like that: https://cloudimperiumgames.com/jobs/224-Senior-Game-AI-Programmer. Maybe, just maybe, once they actually hire someone to do the job, they will get that AI working. Any day now. Speaking of the CIG jobs board--is it normal to have postings for 50 open jobs? If CIG is 250-300 employees, that's over 15% of its workforce.

Whats up with all the micro subpatches? Are they so desperate to show progress? Is there something up? Are there any special rumors?

ManofManyAliases posted:I don't disagree that there are agencies that could go after CIG. But why haven't they? This is a good question. To be honest, at the US fed level this is really small potatoes. Sure, 150 million is a lot of money. But look what it really takes to cause hot fed action and combine the fact the citizens are spread all over the globe. Local level (such as state or province of your choice) has much more interest and does good by it. CIG has acquiesced when there have been issues. Now what would it take for the FTC to step in? I'd guess if they can make it to the 250M they will be on a different level.
