I didn't release it. Take Two did.

So much for your epic burn. Clearly you're not the Chosen One.

Take Two and the rest of the publishers you bankrupted gave you at least FOUR YEARS you incompetent piece of poo poo. Give me back my $40. At least Freelancer was actually good once they got rid of CR and got it actually out the door.

I know it's not the intent, but ironically, when you think about it, a used-car rental salesman who can pull in $175 million in sales sounds like a pretty good used-car salesman.

What if all the cars he were selling were amazing future cars that had thousands of features that had ‘never been done before’ and were due for delivery ‘any time soon’ but demanded payment up front and counted that towards his figures despite the sale not being complete with regards to the actual delivery?

Chris isn’t a very good salesman, he’s just an enthusiastic space nerd who became king of the space nerds and harnessed that power to fund a wet dream by tapping into exactly what his audience wanted and promising them that: it wasn’t hard for Chris to tap into that because he is one of them. He is corrupt with visions of grandeur and his model wife’s acting ambitions, that’s where the real rot started. If he remembered not to believe the smoke he was blowing up his own rear end a lot of this could’ve been avoided.

This. Anyone who believes a CR release date is a drat fool. I have nothing against SC but I'm sure as hell not buying it until it's actually out. Somewhere around 2021 I suspect if the whole project doesn't collapse under the weight of CR's maniacal feature creep.

Nope, I don't want to keep fish for I worry they will be murdered by that thing :qq:

As awful as it looks, there are much harder battles to fight in a fish tank, trust me. Bobbit worms are one of the really nasty ones, but there are more sinister things lurking in those living rocks, which you can't easily remove because they spread like a pleague.

Then again, my tank has been hit by three of the most awful ones (yeah, I'm lucky I guess), but I say to myself "don't interfere too much, give it time", and one of them was actually completely removed within about two years by adding a certain shrimp that eats that poo poo, and the other one is put on hold by two fish who eat it (but can't be removed once in the tank, you'd have to start completely new). Nature knows it's poo poo, and we only capture (in good and bad) a small part of nature in our tanks, so the balance is always off, sadly.
