It's a bit mean spirited. But I'd love to have them cut the live stream off early at gamescon due to booing and hecklers

That would go a long way to finally putting the nail in crobberts coffin

Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.

Even Frogbear would do a better job at this... The most trivial of marketing duties, tweeting updates, somehow exceeds their grasp.

XK posted:

Did they read my mocking posts about this?

I think whoever is running the marketing account is taking the piss, at least a little.

Ahhh, the old inverse troll technique at play, ehhh?

Nah, we may have seen something like that with glaring-at-the-camera-through-shades while tim-tam face-stuffing-with-a-hatesmile-on a while back. I think the above is bubbling up from the same natural spring that has trouble pronouncing "hhholograms", thinks the "S" in "SEO" stands for "strategic", and learned what "Evocati" was live on-camera while punching the clock for an hour slumming on a show for spacenerds to earn that sweet, six-figure paycheck that funds the pursuit of better acting gigs elsewhere.

On that note:

66 Days Until "American Satan" hits theaters.
(Friday the 13th because evil.)

On a counterpoint (per doingitwrong):
Melina Juergens and Ninja Theory really do deserve major props all around. Ninja Theory's willingness to bet on a team player with natural talent, her willingness to fiercely commit to a risky part and carry a title to launch. The collaborative R&D partnership with 3Lateral and Cubic Motion to break open the narrow bottlenecks of motion capture for gaming. It's just really satisfying to see nimble, innovative studios pushing tech forward, taking genre risks, trusting in their teams and partners and it all building towards the payoff they appear to really deserve.

Guard Frequency Episode 179 | CIG, Lies and Videotape http://guardfrequency.com/179

Mental Gymnastics & lols:
16:15 - "CIG always lies" "Chris Roberts always lies" but it's a good thing because,
19:30 - [CONCERN] Uhh where's mining? 3.0 is supposedly 6 weeks away and we haven't seen any gameplay of Trading or Cargo
27:00 - Chris is a perfectionist, but only on visual stuff. Bugs are fine

GuardFrequency is walking an uneasy line, trying to be diplomatic about dismal truth. Really, it's hitting all the streamers and SC news outlets. The tribalism is too entrenched in the community to tolerate much open criticism. So the voices of record not on payola all have to make the same choice between focusing on Star Citizen's bright Future and dark Past. It's that simple.

WTFO is breaking bad, Jake, Dolvak and Astropub are halfway to Heretic in spirit, and GuardFrequency, while consistently civil and diplomatic, haven't been that shy about taking occasional shots. While at this point even Evangelicals and Zealots agree "Chris is terrible with dates", "Chris has gotten a lot of things wrong", they're in the "none dare call it lying" camp and they will not tolerate those who do. There is another explanation, of course, Chris is incompetent, but they won't tolerate that either and instead fall back to the safety of "Game Development is hard!"

GuardFrequency hit on two huge and threatening points, Chris's dishonesty being the more provocative. But the far more troubling fact they noted is that his perfectionism is exacted only over the visual aspects of his games. In Alpha. Mechanics are TBD and have been for years, in Alpha. Stability, performance, VR, the rest are just problems to worry about in Beta.

These sorts of points are worth driving home and fully exploring, but for GF to do so would cost them Believers, Evangelics and Zealots, a big part of their listenership to date. The more partial you are to dreams, the more deeply the truth cuts, and GF already got some unhappy responses:

Some Guy With Parappa the Rapper Syndrome posted:

"Hey can anyone let me know if guard frequency has started taking a fair, reasonable, and positive approach to CIG's work or are they still parading cynical reactions to whatever imaginary audience they think wants to hear it every week? Thanks. Love the show but constantly piling on the project gets a bit old."

"Tell me more about the bright future and less about the dark past, becuz I gotta believe!"

(Sorry to word wall, friends.)
