Did you guys see this yet? It's basically never gonna happen, right?

I haven't been in this thread in a few months, is this where the game is currently?


Anyone have an updated "popular game development time" graph?

You know there are problems when you can't understand the transaction system of an alpha game at a glance. I still don't get what those CCUs are.

lets say you buy a shirt. you get home and it actually doesn't fit you correctly, so you take it back to the store and ask to exchange it. since youre gonna buy something the cashier puts the money store gift card and hands it to you. you walk around the store for a bit, pick out a new shirt that costs the same amount as the one you just exchanged. when you try to pay for it with your giftcard, they tell you theres an extra $5 gift card fee that you have to pay.

if you demand a refund, they will take back every piece of clothing you ever bought from them; and every piece of clothing that someone else bought you from there, (but you wont get refunded for those things)

I can understand charging 5$ extra for 0$ CCUs. CIG isn't making any money off of 0$ CCUs and a lot of people are buying hundreds of these CCUs which puts a strain on their database.


phosdex posted:

I'm the database being strained by a couple hundred transactions a day.

Seriously though. it is down right pathetic if anyone is falling for this. This isn't 1984 using dBASE III over a modem.

Even if all million alleged clients used a CCU it shouldn't be straining their "Servers".

Seriously, under the disguise of alpha builds and perpetual crowd-funding, this game is shitfest of microtransactions and pay to win stuff, even worse selling stuff that are not in the loving thing and dreams that will never be playable. And running referral contests on the side.

If I had to think of a list of annoying things I would never want to see from a game developer and their game, all of those would be on the top.

The only explanation that I have that the internet has not rained hell on them yet, is that nobody really cares anymore, especially since they insist on releasing lovely alpha builds? And the few who do, are the shitizens (maybe) so no miracles to be expected there.

I'm pretty sure that there's about 2,500 to 10,000 hardcore backers who are spending hundreds or thousands a month on this shitshow

an actual "release" version of star citizen is the only thing that will end up breaking them. I can already imagine the outrageous amount of "how come my $300 ship isn't better than this $175 ship" posts across reddit once that happens

once you start seeing those, that's the end of their core supporters and most of their cashflow

I think what you are seeing in the background is stock "diligent office" footage, I am more than willing to believe that is not a CIG office. It's equally possible they put a camera on the team and use it occasionally for segments like this though.

The guy talking is in front of a green-screen obviously.
