Weixelman told the court he hadn’t realized that his actions were wrong until he and the girl had a conversation in which “she expressed regret that we had done these things,” and “it really just kind of shattered my perception about the way that I had manifested my love.”

quote:

“I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to review my demo reel or my resume, but I am an internationally award winning concept artist,” Weixelman said, adding he felt he could help prisoners learn to treat women with more respect.

“Far too often, both science fiction and fantasy objectify women. It’s something, actually, that nerds and prison inmates have in common. I feel like I have a unique ability to bring the concept of gender equality into the way they think about the future,” Weixelman said.

If you want some arcade shooter go play Elite or COD. This is a sim. Combat is only a small aspect of star citizen's universe.

The first time I sat on a quarterly earnings meeting for <one of the largest software companies in the world> I almost fell out of my chair. Public financials is 100% soothsaying built on legal financial accounting techniques that renders arithmetic useless.

The funding tracker has no relevance whatsoever to CIG's balance sheet. The poo poo CFO's and corporate accountants pull to give the CEO spinnable talking points looks like fraud to the untrained eye. But when it comes down to it, the whole thing runs on half-truths, dreams, and the pursuit of some vague notion of fulfillment. So gently caress it, give the people what they want, because it sure ain't the truth.

I've kind of converted over to the idea that they really did stumble on a dynamite formula and will have enough funding to go on for years and years. The game will never be completed as promised but they can always get rid of staff, sell more concepts, let S42 footage trickle out, etc.

It's truly a testament to how much psychological trauma goons inflicted on carebears in EVE through scamming and griefing.

This game is coming.

What gets me is a lot of people saying the 3.0 they've got now is not the 3.0 that is coming "soon" - ie. the live 3.0

Do they really think there's another build of 3.0 hidden away full of content (worms, procedural birds, pets, missions, mining, bounty hunting and drink waitering) and stability (network & server & FPS improvement, bind culling, and lets make some new buzzwords up - enterprise server deference)

I suspect (and will call it here) that the 3.0 release now is it in terms of content, this is what they've spent the last 2 years on since 2.x (or in Game Development years - 6 months, as all times are quartered as we know)

Also, and this really gets me, in a game about space combat and space ships the only time i've seen someone on twitch destroy something in 3.0 is when that dude blue up a ship full of crates. Everyone else is flying around, crashing, trying to land, crashing, and driving around a planet before crashing.

We've heard it all before. $170+mil. And nothing. Buggy tech demo with small player base. There is no game. Eve Online will be around longer than SC.

SCtrumpHaters posted:

Your own stats cited show you are wrong. People are playing the game now. They are taking in more money than last year most likely and a huge patch is about to drop adding shittons of mechanics and content.

Every game starts small. Just because they don't have WOW numbers yet doesn't mean its a failure. Its coming and we can clearly see that.

Extensively marketed and widely anticipated, the game broke industry sales records and became the fastest-selling entertainment product in history, earning US$800 million in its first day and US$1 billion in its first three days.

IE GTA V


Yup starting off small.

SCtrumpHaters posted:

Look how much money SC has taken in off the back of just a prealpha. Rockstar would never have matched that if they released some lovely alpha.

When SC releases it will easily be bigger.

Incitatus posted:

Also lol that you admit the SC alpha is poo poo.

Also, mods change my name to 'stable hair'

Speaking of procedural, I think this is the white paper that the Star Citizen coder used to put their city tech together:

Also bonus video of someone else's implementation of the ideas in said white paper.
