I've said it before and I'll say it again: Everything CIG is struggling to do with capital ships has already been done by Pulsar: Lost Colony

I want to love Pulsar but everytime I play it I feel like the creators read Chief O'Brien at Work and decided to see if they could make a video game out of it.

But it does do a good job of giving people who want to field test the actual working reality of sitting in a room flipping switches an idea of what they're in for during their mandatory 4 hour shift in the Idris engine room.

That seems like a reasonable position. You’d hoped for more, got less than desired but maybe not than expected. I think it’s a healthy thing that you’re factoring money in to your forward thinking. I see far too many people who truly act as if money and time are in infinite supply when of course they can’t be. If public funds fail to meet the ongoing needs, private funds under more onerous terms are an option, and indeed, it seems CIG may already have started tapping those. But time itself is another matter. At some point, fewer and fewer people are willing to give you theirs. Too many new games competing for time, and some with time on their side. It slowly runs out and there are no big lenders.

quote:

Revenue planning has definitely turned inward. Selling more and more stuff to a captive and in many cases overextended base seems like a troubling warning sign but I’m not sure CIG has an alternative. Chris has spoken often about his expectations for mass market success yet those expectations seem decoupled from reality. If that had been an actual internal goal, they’d have focused earlier on a playable fun core with rewarding loops and built outward from there proactively. The boring old school way. That he instead had such hopes yet expected he could simply respond to that demand reactively suggests they presumed too much in vanity and now face far more desperate constraints, hence the need to maximize the yield from that smaller piece of the market they’ve already captured.

It’s not especially healthy but having failed to chart their course to wider adoption and stuck to it, it’s probably the only choice they have.

"Listen, Lord. He was suing Chris Roberts. You know Chris Roberts? I'm kind of surprised you aren't Chris Roberts, to be honest. Anyway, he made Wing Commander. And this loving wheelboy thought that Chris owed him something just because he promised it and then took his money. The nerve, right? Entitlement's on the list of seven deadly sins, pretty sure. So really I was doing your work when I called him a gimp and threatened to gently caress his mother. No need to thank me."
