Give us more money and we'll both be able to add more and build the game faster.

Or remove even the hint of all those wild dream features we suggested you were buying in addition to never delivering on even the most basic form of the game.

It's a flip of the coin really.

Actually we don't ask for more money. We have the money to make a game.
But if you give us more money, then we'll be able to make the game of your dreams.

That’s all thanks to you, Star Citizen’s backers. We’ve had a lot of questions about why we still need to continue crowd funding. The answer is that that money is letting Star Citizen tackle longer term features and content sooner than we normally would. To sustain this level of development, we need to keep bringing in additional funds. Star Citizen is still much less than the other published backed AAA games that have similar levels of ambition (some would even say a little less :-) ) like GTA V, Watch Dogs or Destiny.

We know that Star Citizen is an incredibly ambitious project, after all its basically several high fidelity AAA games all rolled into one; a MMO Space Sim, a First Person Shooter, a rich Single Player story and a fully-fledged Trading and Economy game. I’m pretty sure this level of ambition is why the majority of you backed. If I had pitched Star Citizen to a typical publisher, told them I wanted all these features and wanted to make it just for a PC I would have been laughed out of the room. (Of course, you all showed publishers that a AAA space sim for the PC is no laughing matter!)

Anyways he then goes on to ask what people want next from a long list and none of it is ever given any serious development effort or, for the most part, spoken of again.

Never stop funding. Bigger than GTA V. Laughed out of the room.

I think we're missing the bigger picture here.

What all of this means is that someone at Skadden was forced to watch through all that horribleness to gather up the evidence needed to make the case. They were forced by Crytek. Crytek was the wicked evil badguy all along! :magical:

Will Maiden is a loving genius. And CIG, as usual, is proving to be 2 steps ahead of the game. The tactic is simple.

1. Dev/Community Manager makes an obscure offhand comment that clashes with the insane imaginary game mechanic that the whales have dreamed up for themselves (egged on by Chris).

2. Massive shitstorm blows up on reddit with heated bickering between the backers over mechanics that are impossible to implement anyway.

3. CR steps forth, addressing the masses. "Good people, you have spoken and I have heard. That offhand comment by that Dev was taken completely out of context, OF COURSE we will be implementing that insane impossible mechanic that whales are losing their poo poo over. It's totally part of our "subsumption/Item2.0/Insertbuzzword" system. What that Dev was trying to say is that we are aiming (no promises) to have only the foundations implemented in 3.0/4.0/5.0 etc. It is an organic and iterative player driven system that will grow in complexity over time once the game launches. You've trusted us to develop the best drat space game ever and we're holding up our end of the bargain, we need you guys to continue supporting us so that all your dreams can come true. (Insert shameless plug for the latest concept sale).

4. Backers fall over themselves praising CIG. Mass reddit threads appear "Thank you CIG / CIG Listens to us / This is already the best space game ever OMG". Backers start mass buying the latest concept in shame over ever doubting CIG and the vision. Any additional dissent is quickly shouted down by the zealous fans.

5. CIG continues to walk back on any "promises", defended vehemently by hardcore backers as they do.


Its loving genius. Textbooks will be written about CIG in future.

What the gently caress is this bullshit?

https://wccftech.com/wccftech-investigates-the-star-citizen-economy-with-special-guest-tony-zurovec/



"The difficulty is that the real world doesn’t work like that and as many long term followers of the game are aware, Tony has wanted to get it to a place where we have some of the real world levers and influencers of economic activity in the game in a relatively advanced (for a game) method. With static or simplistic prices and immediate impacts, you face problems such as the value of a commodity dropping below a profitable level for a producer, so in a simplistic rules based game engine, the production immediately ceases. In reality, that takes time, some people will continue to subsidise loss making operations in the hope that the market will turn around. Perhaps a spike in demand will occur which will mean that business will continue to be worthwhile. Cross-subsidisation of business lines also makes for a more involved scenario."


I'm not making this up. That's actually what it says.
