Baron has done something like 8 hours of streaming 3.0 in the last two days and I don't think he managed to complete a single quest due to crashes and bugs. Sometimes he's been close to tears in frustration, but he's still managing to softball Lando's talking points with a smile.

Actually feel like throwing up.

edit: Should have said "handling Disco's soft balls"

Warbond meaning fresh cash only in this case. Cha, Ching. My 6.4 million might have been on the low side.

Fidelity. Wait, was I'm working on again?

This entire enterprise is deception all the way down. "Your favorite Anvil ships." There are no functioning ships in this alpha, and the few that are there are a small fraction of what was promised. Nobody cares what "Anvil" is, nobody has a "favorite"; even amongst the most fervent backers there's nothing but disappointment mixed with naive optimism.

Don't let that stop you, CIG, from implying a healthy game state and an engaged "player" base by implying they have "favorite Anvil ships" as if anyone on the entire planet knows what your loving poo poo niche product is, or knows/cares anything about your brain-dead derivative lore.

Chris, take a break from the 24/7 misinformation campaign, grab your wife, and the two of you take a well-deserved vacation. I hear Malaysian Airlines has some good deals.

hey disco lando you idiot

games were not always $60 for the last 30 years

most games for PC or console were 49.99 or less (39.99 as well) and there was a huge loving stink about the average price being raised to 59.99 around 2005

also shipping physical disks vs online distribution is way more loving expensive because of manufacturing, shipping and retail space

goddamn you are an idiot

just got banned for saying 60 bucks plus 50 season pass and 30 bucks dlc moron - how much more for a game. If you cant make a game at that profit get out of the industry and dont forget these guys

Were those not fine days, when we drank of clear honey, and spoke in calm tones of our love for the stuff?
so 3.0 is only available to people who sub? can i say i called it?


Nicholas posted:

The bandwidth and compute costs for 3.0 is going to really hurt CIG if it ever does go public. It's so poorly optimized that even a handful of players would cost them hundreds or even thousands of dollars per day. They'll need a corresponding increase monthly revenue just to make up for it. I think they'll be introducing a manditory subscription fee around the same time.

I like how the most visible "professional" star citizen streamer is talking endlessly about the games he really likes to play like Warframe.

"This has been my off-stream obsession for weeks now"

No they aren't being paid to struggle through a barely working tech demo to try and sell millions of dollars of lies, why would you think that? This is just a cool dude playing the game he loves and not at all a job.

He's better at pretending he doesn't hate the game than WTFOSaurus though. That guy looks like a prisoner of war all the time.

Now, aside from the Abuminable, business goes on as usual.
From today's video about the bounty hunting profession:

quote:

What we'll be doing in the future is releasing bounty hunting mechanics that will be focused on, uhh, subduing the player or actually, umm, when you kill them and getting, umm, payment back [hard edit] In the future when you subdue a player, the idea would be that you would take their body, umm, put them into the cargo hold or into the, the stasis, umm, containers that we have and then, uhh, basically deliver them to the Advocacy Office for your payment and that payment will be different than if you actually kill them and then, uhh, return them that way.

So, if a player is captured, umm, and then they are taken back to the Advocacy Office, the idea would be that you are waking up inside a prison and at that point you will have to serve your time. So whether that is, uhh, breaking rocks or doing other menial tasks around the prison, umm, then you'll have to do that or you can risk, uhh, actual jail break, and, uhh, if you and your friends want to try to break yourself out and then from there you'll continue as a wanted man.

I was watching WFTOsaurus the other day and, honest to God, I didn't know that the Twitch streamers can see the comments on the right side (I thought it was just for spectators to chat in, and that the streamers got their questions and comments through a different system).

So I asked in the chat 'how much do these internet beggars get paid?' Then WTFO makes a disgusted face and tells me to gently caress off, and bans me. I almost fell out of my chair, I was so surprised the man in the TV had suddenly said my name. Like imagine if you were watching Oprah and Oprah looked at you from out of the screen and spoke at you directly.

He looked sad for the rest of the stream. I hope it wasn't because what I said. :smith:
