If gamers weren't loving used to being exploited, we wouldn't be having this discussion. It is a pointless discussion when you consider that the crazy amount of money being made, is because the people who are buying them, outnumber those crying foul. So companies like EA, Activision et al, have ZERO incentive to stop the practice. It all migrated from mobile.

Korean f2p games were doing that poo poo long before mobile gaming was a thing.

Great. :lol: :lol:

Catching up with late 90's tech then. :D

Maybe modelling the ships as hundreds of components that have to be individually synchronized across the network for all players was not the best idea?

I didn't even want to get into the guy carrying a crate in his hip, or the weird texture/object that sits in view when he finally gets in the cockpit.

That video still didn't do anything we didn't see in 2.0, except for having the 3 dozen commandos doing morning yoga.

Why would 3.0 coming out be the end of criticism for Star Citizen exactly?

Have the goal posts been moved so far back that updating the game in any way is seen as a complete victory or do they think 3.0 is going to deliver on the dream?

Star Citizen has a lot of support in the non-native English speaking communities.

Remember what I said about Gremlich being a Kremlin test account.

I think it's not actually the word itself. They just want to refer to him without actually saying his name because he is the Star Citizen Voldemort. "Skippy" is just the "S" word that some backers think of. Others use "Shart" or "Shmuck" or a bunch of different variations that all stem from "Smart."

Why it’s like that one scene where my hero was in Star Citizen, and he looked at that guy and said

And later on he was going to the

And then I was all omg I cannot believe that happened in this video game I am going to pattern my life around this moment and post it inauspiciously to twitter!

Don't laugh. Years back a goon watched Donnie Darko and dumped his girlfriends because they didn't have a relationship like Donnie's and his gf.

The thing that really got me from the new leaked video isn't how broken everything is or how looking at anyplace where there are polygons absolutely tanks performance but those loving emotes. I know that there are immersion animations, but I was unaware that the game took control over the player camera when emoting. That actually made me a little motion sick just from watching the video. If it was VR I would be puking everywhere always. What a bad idea.

It's a player. There is bug whereby if you pick up a crate, you can't put it down. Like, seriously.
