But you can totally grind for hundreds of hours in BF2 to unlock whatever. Despite the daily credit cap. https://i.imgur.com/OyHkMOu.gifv

TheAgent posted:his title: Senior Producer (NarrativeContent) and Head of Global Video Production They're bringing in video and marketing and they've no networking, design leads, back end, they don't even have someone doing UI full time It's all about selling as much ships as they can to keep their lifestyle going, they're fighting to keep it going and its written into everything they do and everything they produce. I can't see it lasting, a few months ago I thought it had years left in it but the funding stats are making me rethink that, and 3.0 looks utterly hosed as well. E: I'd love to see their real staff numbers right now, I don't think we have a good guess on burn rate

Is some form of 3.0 live yet? (And how compromised is it if it is?)

Everything we've seen so far, from the actual game development aspect has always been about visual effects. Most gamedev updates are wrapped around game features or mechanics, or how something tough (though visually or through player experience would seem inconsequential) was implemented into the game. We get videos of endless crunching (to what end) and non deliveries of the product (S42, Oldman Speech, Old-Man "Fire her up" - ironically players start up their own ships, why should Luke's starship be any different) and 3.0 is literally one year late. In ATV there is absolutely zero talk about how they are developing the game engine, and how things are handled server side, which are the meat and potatoes of any development.  says that there is a game, we say there isn't, a classic case of schrodinger's cat.Also, reddit is wrong.

SomethingJones posted:They're bringing in video and marketing and they've no networking, design leads, back end, they don't even have someone doing UI full time They still have two big sales this year and this is the period they pull in most of their money. At the very least it would be early next year before anything could happen. The issue will be if the revenue continues to be 30%-40% down compared to last year. Once you hit the new year and have no big sales until gamescom 2018 you lose the ability to hold out for regularly scheduled cash injections. If their financial state is bad enough at that point you'd start seeing things happen. It depends on the time of 3.0s release and the reception at this point. I have to say I'm skeptical of this finally being the end since whales have proven they will shock all of us with unbelievable amounts of funding for literally nothing. So getting out even a broken 3.0 at the right time could be huge for CIG and kick the can again.

AP posted:They won't do this if pushed on it, they will offer to put gifted ships into a new account if closing your account and value is over what you paid (credit on account > spent). Imagine being a new customer service employee learning how to deny refunds. Imagine the leadership meeting entitled "How to Deal with Refunds" with two items on the agenda: "What are the legal requirements?" and "How can we get around them?" It's basically "Boiler Room."

Should mention that the failed dev actively lied to the publisher about how much money and time was needed. Lied about the progress. And when it couldnt be put off any longer asked microsoft for another three years and 40 million (double the initial estimate from the failed gamedev) or they would get nothing. Really shady stuff

TheAgent posted:hey look its another person from the crobbers crew circa ascendant Schimmel has a proven talent for reinforcing Chris’s delusory sense of superiority to all any and all possible competitors and as such is indispensable.  Sometimes it seems like that is the LA office’s primary purpose, manning and fortifying the defensive perimeter around Chris’s precious and vulnerable ego. Whether it’s John Schimmel declaring the obvious superiority of the game they hadn’t even started building yet, or Ben Lesnick treating Wing Commander arcana he discovers on eBay like it was another Dead Sea Scrolls discovery at Qumran, or Josh Herman telling those snotty Foundry punks Amir Boparai & Ricky Jutley that “CR was not joking about the worm” (so you sure as hell better stop doing that), CIG LA is definitely keeping Chris awash in the luxuriating delusions to which he’s become accustomed. — Lol.

Its insane that they put in job adverts "making chriss vision". It sounds cultynand the fact it needs to be said is a giant red flag. Unless you are signing up to fully design a game it should just be understood you do what the boss says. It means the person they fired wasnt enough of a brownnoser or its a pissed off game director writing that ad sick of chris's poo poo.
