Space commies are th' biggest threat t' red-blooded American Freedom we got in th' future. So me and my boys got to talking over a few hot dogs the other day and this is what we came up with...

Good afternoon, Reddit. What follows is my vivid hallucination:

On top of this, we’re adjusting our internal team structure to have smaller, more focused groups working closely together. These teams will be made up of developers from all disciplines that work together on a feature, rather than have disciplines work almost independently on their particular aspect of the feature, before bringing everything together. This should allow for a more streamlined and focused approach to feature development and enable us to hit our intended quarterly release schedule.

Hello,

My name is Frank and *long sigh* I am a Caller. I've been a Caller for a number of years and I am ashamed that it has consumed so much of myself. At first I was just calling simple stuff, like when the pizza guy would show up or when my toast was ready. After the addiction started to set in, I knew I had a problem, but I couldn't fight it.

For a time, I suspected my family knew, so I tried to make it a part of my personality. I tried Calling my kids grades, or their high school crushes. It worked, I think, but the reality was that I was simply feeding it. I was always wanting more and more to get my fix.

Eventually, I got to a point where all I could do was Call outlandish things on the internet. My wife and kids shunned me and left me a broken man. "They're through!" I'd shout at the heavens. "90 DAYS TOPS" I yelled... *long pause*

I just... I needed it. It needed ME, and I was obliged to answer its Call.

But, one day, I did it. I finally Called my Moby Dick and it was like *sobs* like a great weight lifting from my wallet. *weeps openly*

quote:

"When Camelot Unchained ran out of crowdfunding money, Mark Jacobs did something unusual by today's standards: he put his hand in his own pocket and paid for development himself. Camelot Unchained didn't begin offering houses or castles or spaceships (let's call them horses) for real money, didn't become an intoxicating shopping mall for pledging support. Being delayed was developer City State Entertainment's fault so why should the community foot the bill?"

I don't understand why all this allegory is needed.

Star Citizen via Squadron 42 has always been about, "ANSWER THE CALL", and Dr. Derek Smart has been answering said call, every day, BY CALLING IT, for years.

Well, that and cutting features left and right to hit quarterly dates. Pushing Mining back to 3.2 when Brian Chambers has once teased it as a 3.0 launch feature didn’t seem to cause much ruckus so maybe that’s a better strategy.

Bigger disappointments on a schedule you can count on.

Yeah this looks like a bullshit response. Crytek gave some plausible complaints in the lawsuit, at first, without us knowing what was in the GLA. CIG responds to every point with good arguments and the actual text in the GLA pointing out what its a frivolous lawsuit

The counter response is reasserting the original claims that were completely shot down, without actually putting forth anything new or offering a rebuttal

Combined with how they initially tried to conceal the GLA to make it appear they had a viable argument, it seems pretty obvious this is just a cash grab. Their plan is likely to attempt to use the corrupt video game press and publicity to drag this lawsuit out and attempt to get them to settle

hosed up if true

The Skadden reply is written in such plain and damning terms there is no way CIG wins this. To think otherwise is just doublethink.

In reference to those incredible and alleged 500 million in funding that popped up some time ago. Still cant believe the figure but it lends a tiny bit more credibility to the Turkey connection.

The fifth stimpire sought to increase the ways of pain, and so set about to the task of finding additional planes of existance.

They unfortunately succeeded.

But not in the way they had hoped.

The entire starsystem that conducted theese trials is now under lockdown, the only case where the sickening stimpire had to do the right thing.

I'd expound here on the difference between "pre-recorded" and "pre-rendered" but I'm not sure it's actually of any consequence, and I still can't fathom why they'd go through the effort of making an in-game asset only to use it for one single pre-recorded video when it would have been insanely easier to just do it the way you'd normally do a cutscene.

I get that you have never worked for a boss like the CRoberts. The people doing it know it's going to be more work, they know that it is a waste of time, they know the asset won't be used later on but, for the time being, the boss is CERTAIN that there will be worm action in the game so you have to implement it. He'll forget about the whole thing in a day or two so you can actually half-rear end it.


Anyways, I missed the rubbening when it happened but I want to thank you guys (and Skadden) for the laughs. Their rebuttal is quite the classy kick to CIGs nuts.
