So if Chris Roberts goes to jail do you think the cultists will keep sending him gifts? I think so.

Hav posted:I think they're hedging against an increase in Sterling, to be honest. Insulating yourself with 7 points against the dollar is kinda 'meh' as a move, so it's almost entirely just an advance. CIG says most of their money is in USD and EUR since that is where they raise their money (USA and Germany). The GBP is still 5 cents less than the prior 52 week's (i.e., post-Brexit vote) GBP:USD exchange rates and near the bottom of the prior 52 week's GBP:EUR exchange rates. Seems weird to pay 2.5% interest plus any transaction fees for what has to be only a few million GBP loan for a loan that is likely less than a year (the credits are yearly, I believe) (especially since F42 apparently earns/spends over 15GBP/year). A 2.5% interest rate on 5 million GBP would be 125,000 GBP. Is the pound going to fluctuate that much in a year to make it worthwhile?

The bankers are not morons and to prevent any shenanigans(like CIG-UK transferring all IP rights to someone else), they are in control of the assets and give CIG-UK the right to continue working, so if CIG-UK wants to buy/sell some of their stuff then they have to ask permission from the bank first. trucutru fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Jun 28, 2017 |

SPAMMING 4 AND LEFT MOUSE BUTTON LETS YOU SHOOT FASTER THAN INTENDED STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1 Launch StarCitizen.exe 2 Got to Arena Commander 3 Load into any of the single player (!) modes with ship flight with an armed ship that doesn't use a weapon with spin-up time (I recommend repeaters) 4 Repeatedly press 4 (All Weapon Groups Toggle) and left mouse button (Fire Weapon Group One) simultaneously 5 Watch how your weapons archive a higher rate of fire than they should (compare to firing under normal conditions) ACTUAL RESULT The ship weapons fire faster than they should those giving you a higher ROF and damage per second. You can easily see this by switching between firing your weapon as usual and doing it in the way described above. EXPECTED RESULT Depending on the intended design the weapon should either not fire while the Weapon Groups Toggle key is pressed or at least shouldn't fire with an accelerated ROF. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLDtYllLuio

Whether or not the bank "owns" the game now is a pretty silly question to be contemplating anyway. The big news here is that a video game developer who crowd funded 150 million dollars has run out of money and now needs a loan so badly that they're willing to put basically everything of value as collateral to advance a tax rebate worth a few million dollars which will only last them a few months at most. The only reason the bank would accept collateral like this is if CIG argued that the game was almost finished and they just need this money to make the final push. It's clear to everyone that the game is nowhere near finished, but now CIG are in a bind, they pretty much have to release something before the last of their funds run out otherwise they cannot pay off the debt. That's the news here - not that the bank technically owns a video game, but that CIG who railed against publishers forcing developers to release before their ready have climbed into bed with far less forgiving funding that will literally have debt collectors hauling away their office equipment in 6 months time if they don't force the game out.

I love that the best explanation citizens have come up with is "Don't worry guys, CIG isn't broke, they're just using the borrowed money to speculate on the forex market "

The bank could give a poo poo whether the game/whatever is finished or not. All they care about is CIG's opportunity and ability to pay back the debenture; it's about credit-worthiness. CIG must have shown the bank that they are capable of doing so.

Yep, and the bank was so confident they would play it back that they only took everything of value as collateral instead of just the tax credit!

It's really the first example of an actual pledge ever happening in this whole project. ManofManyAliases posted:The bank could give a poo poo whether the game/whatever is finished or not.

Not really, no, or they wouldn't have had to bet the entire farm on it. All they must have shown to the bank is that whatever they pledged — i.e. everything — is worth more than the amount borrowed. Being able to actually pay back is less of a factor. Tippis fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Jun 28, 2017 |

Chalks posted:Whether or not the bank "owns" the game now is a pretty silly question to be contemplating anyway. Do you even Star Citizen bro? Every time something like this comes up ManofManyAliases comes to the thread to argue the most petty semantics and Derek bites devolving into a 50,000 post treatise on what specific words mean in each others posts. The 2.6 debacle was a good one since they were arguing over what "released" or "test" meant and the specific hours in a day that would classify it as one of them being right and the hazy grey area of speculation that makes the other person wrong. It doesn't matter if it's as clear cut as CIG needing more money in the form of bank loans after collecting $150,000,000. MoMA can argue with every single letter of the loan documents with Derek until the sun is extinguished and the universe reaches maximum entropy in ten trillion years and two computers with their consciousness uploaded blink at eachother a final time in a futile effort to win the argument as the last act of life in the universe.
