I mean, loving look at the uncanny valley right there.

Ugh, disgusting. poo poo like this is why PCs are so much better than lovely consoles. I mean why even bother making video games if I can't see the air bubbles popping out of Gary Oldman's mouth while his head deforms around his mouth?

It's always been a feat to reach August (Gamescom) with a demo, that then generates enough money to reach Citizen Con (October) for another demo, the Anniversary sale (November) and for the past two years a large Christmas holiday sale.

I'm struggling to think what they can do to fool impress people this August, Citizens expect 3.0 & Sq42 and from what I've seen they are never going to get either in a form acceptable to anyone not insane.

So I'd assume even if there were no other issues, the money is running out.

You really think there's an "if" involved?

The only variable is how long until they throw a sale and nobody turns up, there's no actual game on the horizon. They'd need years of development work from scratch and if you reach the point of starting over the Cryengine would not be involved.

Why he thinks a poorly lit still of Mark Hamill's weirdly-rendered plastic face is worthy of a proverbial mic-drop is beyond me. Particularly when it looks like poo poo compared to a Call of Duty game from three years ago and even a Tomb Raider game from four years ago. I don't understand these people.

And everytime he does, it causes thousands of spergs to go directly into suicide watch mode. There is nothing more hilarious than watching these spergs bounce around in their padded aquariums like loving superballs. Each one losing their everloving poo poo in new and amazing ways. I think big pharma is actually paying Derek for the way he conducts these stress tests on the limits of the meds that each of those spergs is on.

And every time he does and it turns out to be bullshit, it reinforces the star spergians' religious belief that DS is the devil, Star Citizen is God and Croberts is its prophet (profit?). It is unhelpful and stupid to watch. I've only been following this slow motion train wreck for a couple of months and what, DS has already made like 3 "ELE Is Nigh" pronouncements?

You don't see the ELE, because it's not ready yet. Derek is a perfectionist, so he wants the ELE done just right.

I think you don't understand doomsday development :colbert:

At this point, who really cares what those people think. I'd say he's doing them a favor giving them something to do while they wait for Croberts to drop trou and provide the next Jesus deuce on them.
