Last week's numbers are in and saw dips in the player counts in all three EA modules. Latest figures:

Star Marine: 20.83
Arena Commander: 23.65
Racing: 3.10

Given the persistent unpopularity of the racing minigame, it seems like a strange decision to feature a racing theme for the latest sale. The best marketer of all time acts in mysterious ways...

The department of goon FUD brings you the average player count figures for the previous 9-ish days!

Star Marine: 19.7
Arena Commander: 24.2
Racing: 2.7

Stay tuned for next week's installment!

He made it in just fine last year. The disguise worked perfect. You can see him in the background of one of the shots with lots of people. He is the one doing the "hold the roof up" dance.

The hardcore citizens really do run the gambit of strange stuff.

Remember when we found that actual mermaid citizen thing? Like a pasty white bearded dude with a tail in a creek somewhere.

Not a photoshop. Literally made a tail for himself and had someone take photos of him. For the internet. For the public. Completely un-ironic.

This stuff is right before my time so bear with me if I'm re-hashing old FUD.

The messaging is strong here, probably a little smoke an mirrors.


'Watch out for that grenade!' (course we have grenades, so what)
'Aw man I got hit by an EMP, EMP guys! Did I say EMP loud enough Chris?' (heh how do you like our grenades now :smuggo:)

Yeah! And why is a married guy living in the barracks??

Unless he got put there for abusing his wife. Or he's on a "deployment" to one of those fancy places where you get an actual nice room to stay in.

Nah, that's a barracks room. I've stayed in a lot of them. I recognize the bed, the freaking door/frame, the stupid floor, and even the stinking paint on the cinder block walls.

I'm the customer service drone for a multi-million dollar company who uses a loving internet pseudonym when engaging in official correspondence with a paying customer. This company can literally do NOTHING right.

e: All those citizen pictures trigger me with the guns. It's only the last guy who's made any effort to make his gear look even vaguely futuristic. Then again, they're just following Coutts Imperium Games' example.

I don't mind the cosplay. It was people just excited about something, and there's nothing wrong with that. I've dressed up as goths and other characters before for parties, events and Halloween.

The way I see it, this is all squandered opportunity. CIG promised to release a long time ago and I don't care how much John Doe does or doesn't understand game development because he's not a game developer. Thousands took CR at his word and his estimation and bought into it wholesale. CR failed them, and then proceeded to treat people with questions like ship because they had no answers.

I just hope these guys got their money out by now. The dream is probably all they'll ever get, and the foolishness of remembering how much they believed in Chris Roberts.

All these pictures I hope Chris Roberts can see some day, because it's the people who really believed in him the most, and he just took them for their money. Unfortunately I realize CR and the Roberts' in general have no amount of empathy, so he probably won't care at all. But I hope he does.
