There's always the roguelike to produce with the 'Lore'.

Kerberos went this route when they hosed their relationship with paradox over Sword of the Stars II. They also produced a piss-poor strategic game to keep the lights on while they attempt to rebuild.

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.

You're assuming that they're not blatantly cheating the funding counter by slowly trickling in external sources of income, like loans or a new round of angel investors. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the reason CIG threw that Dinner for Schmucks Whales if the rumor is true. For me failure means a complete and utter disaster where CIG can't even deliver a MVP, and backers spend the foreseeable future hoping they can get what assets CIG did produce so they can make their own game.

They don't even need to do all that, they could just write it to have a random floor around 20k. There no legal accounting basis to the tracker so it's no different than one of those hit counters on a geocities site.

Honestly we need to keep this type of poo poo in check. Not only is this not true, even if it were it should not make you happy just because people like a vidya game you don't. Real harm will come of this, and despite the bad taste the handful of insufferable citizens that are amplified on social media leave in our mouths, most are people just like you or me that want something cool and are caught up in the hype and have more in common with victims/survivors than anything. Don't let the douchebaggary of a handful justify callous disregard towards entire groups of people like some kind of person that unironically browses r/The_Donald or something. As for the crobbler and his wretched wife, welp...









That is all. Carry on.

A CIG Failure to me is Chris Roberts becoming an industry joke and Star Citizen never living up to 10% of his promises. So from my point of view CIG already failed and all we're doing is waiting until they can't hide it from all the backers any longer.

Then allow me to clarify that I do not wish harm on anyone. But if harm comes to anyone stemming from this shitshow collapsing, then I want Chris, Sandi, and all the other cockwhistles at CIG to be held openly accountable. I want my loving victory lap and no amount of human suffering is going to prevent that. No real lessons in life come without that and a very real lesson is being taught here about video game obsession.

Definitely gently caress those twats, just keep in mind they have as about as much in common with average citizens as al qaida has with average muslims and it's not good to assume they're all terrorists. There's probably less than 500 'radicalized citizens' that deserve to down with the ship if it sinks, out of 500k people that have thrown money at this. Whether this the ele or not I think we should keep perspective.
