At the end he reveals that he bought two M7A weapons for real money, lost them both to bugs, and has now bought a third.

This is the bit where Erin talks about Space Combat.

oh my... where to begin where to begin...

So first of all he doesnt even talk much about the issue. he just adopted Chris way of filling time with words without actually giving out information. What he does give out though is enough to redeem that CIG has learned absolutely 0, Nada , Nothing from the disastrous combat experiences following 2.6.

Notice how Erin, after strolling around the main issue, brings up that the only point he wants to adress in the combat experience is the "shooting at pixels" bit. That is quote on quote the same poo poo that Chris ruled down in 2.6 and that ruined the little bit of consistency in Combat design that was left at the end of 2016.

As i wrote last summer, the Dynamics of Space combat in regards to good gameplay are one of the most complicated and technical topics and require excellent knowledge of both vehicle dynamics and gameplay mechanics as well as game experience. What Erin did is just closing the Circle to 1 1/2 Years ago. CIG, as a company, has learned absolutely nothing on the matter. And whatever comes out of the lawsuits, it is absolutely clear that this company does not have the Quality in house that is needed to even design a good combat model and experience, let alone balancing and porting it into an open world MMO enviroment.

Notice how Erin fills this obvious lack of understanding for the matter with regards to his "former Games" which are all but meaningless for the matter of Space combat and vehicle dynamics especially in a multiplayer enviroment.

Again, just like in 2.6 all they can think of regarding vehicle dynamics is speed. that there is literally hundreds of parameters going into the IFCS to create just the basic flight characteristics (let alone the high order combat characteristics) seems to be not only a complete mistery to the one guy who is supposed to make a game out if this, he seems to be completely unaware of them. And this is 4 Years after the initial release of the spaceflight and combat module. Its like time is ticking backwards and the more we progress the less CIG understands about basic gameplay and design. Amazing

A first step? the team keeps on working on it? this is the same team that couldnt do basic vehicle dynamics... feck... high school physics at the end of 2016 and judging by the state of 3.0 and especially this RTV, they have not learned a singe bit.

first of all, I didn't "rush to the defense" of this guy's comment: seeing that comment made me want to post what I've been thinking for a while, which is that streetroller's posting itt of youtube comments on his video serves no purpose.

rereading it I understand how maybe "surprisingly reasonable critique" may sound like I fell in love with the guy and that I now want to donate all my savings to the thumbman, bad choice of words. I should've said "surprisingly reasonable critique for a guy who gave some of his money to chris roberts"

let me put it in even simpler terms:
mocking disabled people = BAD
attention-grabbing = BAD

Sounds to me like Streetroller has made youtube drama, when he stated he was going to make legal drama.

Sounds like he is having a cry and claiming that he wants more money back even after being refunded.

He was foolish to have ever given Chris Roberts money.

Chris Roberts is an inept, lying, idiot and has been since before this was kickstartered yet plenty people here gave him money.

Actions speak louder than youtube videos/poo poo posting.

You do know when stuff like that happens, right?
1. When there's no design document.
2. When you are not actually working on a game but instead on segmented (occasionally/ partially fake) demos with specific purpose and severely reduced scope.
3. When the last time you put any thought whatsoever into this feature was 4 years ago, and then went "well, that should keep them happy for a while". And 4 years later you've lost all touch with whatever the gently caress you wanted to improve on it -- if there ever was any such plan, anyway.

#3 is the most common one in my experience, but CIG scores all of the above.

The thing is plenty of people have made a similar suggestion for Streetroller to wind back and just let things happen without having to say something along the lines of "This guy going out of his way to paint Streetroller like an unhinged idiot crying foul because people dared to mock his physical disability for the high crime of posting a video on the internet has a reasonable critique to that video I didn't watch"

Streetroller can post the comments in here if it helps him with the fact he's being bombarded with a tirade of hate (and unless I'm mistaken he's been getting since long before he uploaded that video) and gets support from people here. You're talking about a guy who became public enemy number one for a while there because he managed to get a refund and the same song and dance was around then as it is now. He definitely can't undo what's already been done and any legal conflict is going to take time. I wouldn't have announced it but I haven't been putting up with the same poo poo he has, up to and including having had to fight for my own money back from a bullshit consumer law sodomizing TOS and then being told the refund wasn't because he was entitled to it but because he was a piece of poo poo they didn't want in the community anyway. A community that is 100% okay with insulting people with disabilities on the grounds they wanted their money back.

Less than 10% of that guy's posts was reasonable and barely even a critique. It just used a lot of words to cover for a lot of really nasty poking and justification for vileness, and it's a lot of words your point could have done without and is why you caught poo poo for it.

I am getting poo poo done. I'm just being public about it to expose this scam, like Derek.
Such as: I didn't just go feed the homeless in Philadelphia, I filmed a video about how they were throwing them in jail because nobody gave a gently caress and I protested Mayor Nutter at the time.
Do you think I just disappear off the face of the Earth when I'm not filming? No, I do a lot of community building in my real life that isn't on camera.

But one thing is for certain. I am here for attention. If you say you're not, you're just lying.
But like you said, damned if you do damned if you don't.
What about me then? If I never exposed it in to begin with, I don't think I would of ever gotten as much head-way.
On the flip-side, I wouldn't have to deal with shitheads either.

So don't tell me I'm not doing poo poo. I opened the floodgates that made it possible to get a refund. Now I'm attempting to make it abundantly clear that it is illegal to even deny you for any reason, and jump through those legal hoops.
