Virtual Captain posted:lol if Chris just killed the golden goose. You could have just sold more Javelins, discount carriers, or the 42nd ship that punches above it's weight. Walk this back immediately unless you have to bet the farm. I once heard a saying: you can shear a sheep many times but skin him only once. What we are witnessing is skinless sheep tearing off ragged chunks of their own flesh and hucking them at the farmer. Edit: Sheep DLC

Enchanted Hat posted:The biggest land claim is 8km x 8km - 64 square kilometres. How are you even going to use all that space? The game can't handle a fraction of the disgusting spacepoor serfs that you would need to farm that kind of land. I think skyrim is only like 37 square km lol

You know what's strange? I have a gut feeling that the negative backlash once this gets picked up by press too will be enough for them to take this back (and offer some ships maybe for compensation to those who already paid). I. Don't. Want. This. To. Go. Away.

Sabreseven posted:What will the (as yet unmade) police do once they are called? Blow your ship up and leave the wreckage to block the land anyway. And the flaming remains of the pirate ship land on the oil refineries you built on your plot-of-land-that-you-didn't-buy-from-CIG and turn the refineries into scattered, charred debris. But, your land is secure.

In 4km square parcels sure. I forget the name of the specific point in Anarchy Online, but one of the spawn points was on the edge of a PvP zone, and you'd have a bunch of people lined up hoping to get a lucky shot at someone rolling through.

Bayonnefrog posted:They have no idea why they're doing and scrambling as the money dries up. Phenomenal. It's brilliant. We thought they would sell plots of land. Instead they sell a land claim-stick. There are infinite claim sticks, and they don't have to define or advertise actual land plots. But it's more genius than than; they are selling griefer protection. They are selling crimestat protection within a square of terrain. So when people are tired of being griefed, they will buy a claim-stick. This doesn't offer any material protection, but at least the people that kill them or break their stuff within the claim will get a crimestat. When settlement building is in (lol), people will be able to build a spawn point building. This will allow them to bypass griefers that congregate around the stations and ports. They will find safety, segregated from all the meanies in the multiplayer 'verse. The more dangerous the universe is, the more people will seek this protection. They've managed to leverage the griefers and brokenness of the game for profit.

Anyone who thinks that this is going to sink them or that they're going to walk back the land claims is kidding himself. This is loving Star Citizen, the backers are going to swallow this like they've swallowed everything else that CIG has forced down their gullets.

Well, I was right again. On Nov 22nd, I wrote that CIG had a plan to start selling land. I even used Something Jones transcripts in that post. So today they have started selling land. In a broken tech demo which has very little gameplay mechanics and NO gameplay loop. As I said back then, I suspected they were going to do this, which is why they prioritized barren moons, then prematurely released 3.0 to PTU. I just didn't think they would be brazen enough to do it at this point in time. It's unbelievable. Some people were saying they would actually do it today, but I was still skeptical as it would be completely insane. Just like when they released 3.0 to PTU. This is all desperation. ----------------

This reminds me the the good old days of Second Life Safari, when people would buy up plots to put down whatever dumb roleplay building they wanted... And goons would build a goatse right next to it. And then charge through spawning flying dicks until the servers crashed.

Well of course they're selling beacons to claim land rather than the land itself. Letting people actually pick out plots would require making maps of worlds with things on them, so might as well kick that can down the road.
