How loving insane do you have to be to sell tours of a game dev studio that has never released a loving game for the loving ridiculous price of $350 a pop. Yeah, great idea Sandi. You’re a real fuckin’ marketing genius.

You’re a real fuckin’ marketing genius. Not very insane really. You just need to be an opportunist. The better question is how insane your audience is that this sounds reasonable.

Hey remember when EA flew out a bunch of Youtubers or whatever as part of a “Gamechangers” program for Battlefront 2 as a promise to listen to their feedback and make the game not a steaming pile of poo poo on release? It was a steaming pile of poo poo on release. Alright, now what if we made those people PAY for the privilege! To be shuffled around a computer farm of tired, fresh out of college devs who have no real insights or stories trying to jerry-rig a crazy Hollywood bigwig wannabe’s fantasies of what a space MMO is together over a feature creep from hell, and theorycraft a shitton of all new game mechanics for our team to maybe try and implement without crashing everything on launch! $350... for nothing! You are paying, for nothing! You get no value out of this experience! Go fly to Japan and learn to make a Samurai knife, or something, anything but this! Why would you buy this?! Why would you even consider offering this as a product to sell?

It was kinda funny, and then that very last line, "this assumes Star Citizen backers are of average physical health" was an amazing punch line to the whole thing.  It really put it over the top into "genuinely funny".(Based on the pictures I've seen of Star Citizen backers and their amazing physical fitness, the death numbers are probably double or triple Gosts' estimate.)

They get to pretend Chris likes them as he fakes his smiles and hoovers cash up from their pockets with a giant comical vacuum made out of old airplane parts! That's kind of amazing!

ManofManyAliases posted:I was responding to ice's comment about this royalty language: So friend, I’ve got a question for you.  I agree with you about the support situation, and it might reflect poorly on CryTek, but at what point can you stop trying to provide support when the project is impossible? Just because CIG can’t see the impossibility of things doesn’t mean CryTek chose to ignore it. Imagine being the tech support rep who gets the order to make a multiplayer rpg space game with ground stuff and on ship stuff and all these things and oh it’s also a super responsive twitch game. How can you respond or try to respond when they not only want to recreate Eve: Online, but also throw in GTAV and ARMA and and and and... How do you respond? At what point can CryTek basically shrug their shoulders and give up? Do you think they are endlessly responsible for providing CIG with the answers to impossible questions? This could be like counter suing a company because they couldn’t give you the secret of age reversal cream with full support for your subscription order of hand moisturizer lotion.

I just spent an hour catching up with the thread, all the while thinking "urgh, this is pretty boring water treading bullshit". Then I hit MoMA's meltdown.  Imagine being that invested in a lovely stillborn videogame that you meltdown over a Derek Smart post about it getting sued into oblivion. I'd never loving post again out of shame. I'm glad your dick dropped off MoMA.

The Titanic posted:So friend, I’ve got a question for you. I feel the farther away we get from the nucleus of the actual complaint and continue to give crackpot theories air, then the harder this is going to be on everyone. At no time, anywhere until this suit was brought up has there been anything said against CryTek not fulfilling THEIR end of the deal or that there is an escape clause for CIG because of it? One thing has nothing to do with the other. Is there one instance of CryTek being reported for not giving support? If so please show me so I can be wrong about that. Because if true, then Skadden fall asleep at the wheel on this. The actual complaint shows that CIG failed to give CryTek the actual code changes that are on the same contract that Chris scribbled his name on. That entire boondoggle is nothing more than a defense from the peanut gallery that have no idea what they are talking about.

Well in my unlawyer knowledge I’d try to imagine most litigations don’t include a “and if you do this our whole complaint will come crashing down teehee!” So I’d assume that CIG is also looking at the same contract for where CryTek also failed. Maybe try to prove unilateral failure and that it’s all a wash in the end. I’m no lawyer though, and I also have no proof of anything. I’ve never even actually played Star Citizen.

MoMA tends to overreact a bit when defending his right to support a thief and a fraud who uses his stolen cash to pretend to create a game that caters to furries, rapists, and convicted child molesters. Any of us would be just as defensive when faced with such an existential threat.

D_Smart posted:Crytek consolidated and sold off some of their assets. Some as recently as last year when they sold Warface to My.com. Google is your friend. Coming from a certified noismaker, this adds credence. Rumour has it that the US navy tried experimenting with a new noisemaker in the late 80's. They'd drop Derek off the back of a ship in a bathyscope, to confuse the Russian submarines. Only problem was his Russian was a bit rusty and they canned the experiment.
