cynic posted:I wouldn't be at all surprised if by not disclosing their contract with crytek in any negotiations with amazon, they also breached their contract with amazon/lumberyard in a couple of minor ways (you're not able to fulfil clause X because you already have a prior contract with Y that contains conflicting clause Z). I don't think there is a contract with Amazon at all. They've just grabbed the source download and agreed to a ToS. Then extracted the logo for the launcher plus website, and postponed the code integration for later.

SupSuper and myself did a stream when 3.0 got pushed to the live severs. If you want more people going in with low expectations and still getting surprised by how broken it is, here ya go. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/213613087 Sup and I had no idea what to expect, besides planets. To contrast, here's our stream from a 2.0 free fly event exactly 1 year prior, which was the last time we touched it. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/85376843 Calipark fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Jan 1, 2018 |

G0RF posted:Oh dear, Charlie Hall is taking a break from telling readers about how Star Citizen is leap-frogging Elite and actually describing his player experience with 3.0. It actually makes for good reading in places, though the deferential interjections seem tonally incongruent. I always figured in some way, Derek’s involvement has actually had a great help to the money collection for SC. Not only is he the boogeyman, but he’s also the well known guy who everybody loves to hate. And it’s usually well deserved. Honestly Derek should be getting paid by CIG for being their biggest marketing tool.

They're not even hiding it anymore. How did you know what I was buying myself for New Years after Christmas? I figure $2M should be enough to appease me of my transgressions against CIG.

To clarify something I'm not entirely certain of. Is Smart supposedly in the middle of making a game? Or something? Like a project for which he has taken money from people on the basis of some kind of good faith agreement to return a product that represents some kind of advertised vision? I know there's something out there called Line of Defense and maybe some other project but the line between joke and reality has completely blurred for me.

Not only is he the boogeyman, but he’s also the well known guy who everybody loves to hate. And it’s usually well deserved. He has help galvanized the faithful for sure but he also helped those see the light and bring about refunds. He has brought a significant amount of attention to the poo poo state and the reminder to get refunds. So the question is - is it a net equal or is there more spite pledges going in then going out? But as to PR and any PR being good PR he has brought about priceless amounts of it. I still want to see that amd letter though.

There's a working theory that some scaling tweaks (i.e. re-size objects so 1 km "felt" like 100 km, etc.) could be responsible for some of the positioning/clipping bugs yea? Would that also cause issues with surface environment design? You draw a fidelitous mountain range based on the Himalayas, but then the botched scaling means it covers 1/8 of the planet's surface and inspires 1,500 km/h collisions?
