CrazyTolradi posted:He clearly hasn't played KSP, the space game with the most fidelity of them all. The irony being that KSP was a game that was also largely funded through pre-orders and whose original developers stated up front clearly what would (rockets, planets) and, more importantly, would not (aliens, multiplayer, multiple star systems) be in the game. Also, looking back at some of the original KSP dev blogs and contrasting them with those from CIG is a real eye opener. The KSP ones are far more up front with actual development details, including difficulties/disappointments. ahmini fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Jun 29, 2017 |

It would be even better if EA then used some of the existing ships to make a single player Wing Commander sequel that actually worked.

I think Will Wright is probably pretty much up there, at least, though he even considers his own things to be more like toys rather than games with specific win/loss conditions. The rest, not so much.

Feel free to avoid the comments on that twitter link I can almost hear the frantic typing "I Love you sAandi !!!" Coming from the try hardest of backers Aww Chris and Sandi are so cute together ..... things no one has said in public ever. Chris just looks like someone's cousin who has been touched in the head , always wearing the same outfit Sandi while good looking for a woman of her age , has a garbage personality and that shines through

Xarbala posted:lmao jfc Chris and Garriott were talking about SATA BALL and Garriott was under the impression that Chris was serious about the physics being "real." Garriott explained that in zero G that if you fired a grappling hook, that equal and opposite force would push you the opposite direction somewhat. Chris was very confused by this and later explained that nuh uh it's a laser grappling hook.

I know when I see two "personalities" interacting in the most awkward way possible while saying almost nothing about the product that makes me really hyped about the pointless commercial they're about to air. Surely a thing that is taught in Marketing 101, "Tweeting about the most inane moments to build boredom." It's truly amazing how all the principals are so bad at their jobs. A room full of monkeys with infinite time will create Shakespeare, but only give them $150MM and five years and you get SC.

ManofManyAliases posted:Sorry to inform you but that's a pretty standard agreement for a bank like Coutts. You can often collateralize more for securing a lower rate. Why do you think CIG had to ask for the loan in the first place instead of using its own cash reserves (whether in the UK, EU or US) or even put some of those as direct collateral?

MinorInconvenience posted:It's why I suspect there might be other collateral involved here, like someone's personal assets via a guarantee that we can't see. They'd have to be UK-based, and the only person I can think of would be Erin, but putting up personal money kinda defeats the entire object. Being 'introduced' to the bank by someone who was already a customer, maybe, but that's the missing piece. Why Coutts? Stabbing a pen into the 'shady grifter' category in the Yellow Pages might work, but for an advance on a tax credit? Someone said, here, use this number and talk to this guy. I don't see this as an ELE like other people; liquidity matters as much as collateral and Coutts have gotten their wrists slapped over procedural laxness, so I expect they're doing their homework. The 'trust me', under the counter loans would involve a guarantor rather than actual collateral. Just thinking out loud rather than anything else.
