Release the logs and the list Derek, this is Goon Court and you need to show some evidence to the judge and jury. I recommend you contact Leonard J. Crabs, he comes highly recommended from Lowtax.

So without piracy and everything related to it, what's there left theoretically to do? Just move cargo around? Like truck driving, but with no gravity. So it's a remake of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, I guess. Is Star Citizen in its current state a better or worse game than Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing?

You can move boxes into ships unless you stole the ship then it will vanish, it's a great game.

Okay.

You know, I had only one major problem with this game and that was CR"s inability to give us dates that were connected to reality. They told us long ago that they wanted to begin development with us on board and that we'd be with them through the process. Hearing how games are made and often take 5-10 years for anything with huge scope, we could have easily calibrated our expectations for that if they'd just been open about it early on.

But you don't get money by saying it could be a decade long process so they didn't. I am okay with suggesting that the initially pitched and planned game was more of a 3-4 year development game and they've expanded from there quite significantly which cost them a couple years of trashing everything and reorganizing into a bigger company to make a bigger game, but I also understand finding that utter bullshit and not at all what you backed.

Okay, again.

When it was pitched and people were laughing about how it would launch in 2020 and giggling about how stupid we were for supporting it, I used to say that's fine. I'd like to think we could see launch by 2017 because CR is full of poo poo and we should expect delays but even if it only launches in 2020 I'd be fine with that... and you know what? I still am fine with that.

Now, when they've given us a more realistic look at timelines with giant warnings that things will slip? I'm loving pleased. I'm FINE with waiting, and more importantly, I'm god drat ecstatic that expectations are being handled like we're loving morons and we are being told things with dates that make sense.

More than 5 years in early access? Sure. I'm okay with this.

Finally setting expectations properly? HIP HIP HOORAY and poo poo.

Oh and spoiler, game probably won't launch till 2022. If it's earlier, sweet. I'm setting my old prediction of 2019 up by 3 years for giggles so when it inevitably slips to 2020 and then 2021 I won't be disappointed. For a group of supposedly bitter vets, maybe we should all set our expectations at, "It won't launch at all" and work our way up from there rather than this retarded LOL SC STILL poo poo LOLOLOL poo poo we pretend is discussion here.

To the process server - the best way to contact Sandi Roberts (nee Gardiner) is to contact the offices of Rising Star Pictures in Los Angeles California and let them know you are interested in a photo op and autograph session with this particular 'Rising Star'.

She may not answer to Sandi Roberts right away, so you may have to actually take a picture to butter her up first. Do not make eye contact during the session, wear hearing protection and be ready to run.

The first ship sale they showed them how hard their player base could be fleeced and the entire leadership team saw dollar signs. I think this entire thing started out as "dreams" but once they figured out their fans would buy anything its just been a long money grab to hopefully retire on. Its all a fugazi at this point. Everyone outside senior leadership is being fed "dreams" but I think all hope of a game died long ago. The refactoring is just one big delay on things to make more money.

They are going to keep selling non-existent ships until their community gives up. Chris and the gang are just hiding away money to protect it after the fallout.

Assuming that the internet accountants out there aren�t full of total poo poo, CIG is making more than enough a year to fund their studios on a year by year basis plus having a moderately health reserve. If funding declines in a sensible manner rather than all at once, they�ve probably got 3-5 years of funding left in them plus downsizing giving them time if needed.

Based on what I�m seeing progress wise, they really need 3 more years and more than likely could use 5 more years with development post launch and assorted bug and performance tweaks to be made. It�s my belief that unless funding declines precipitously, they�ll be okay at least.

It�s also my belief that they�re uncertain about way too many systems for the game to be well conceived or implemented so it�s going to be a bit of a poo poo show at launch and maybe will never get better. I would like to be wrong on that part. Still, good news is that they are strong on their stance to have modding tools and we can run our own servers with our own jury rigged systems to make it fun.

I may be too pessimistic on the implementation but I do fully believe that they have the funding and methods of funding to be fine for completing the development stages and hopefully the post development work needed to maybe make it an amazing experience.

They sell virtual ships at 750$+ each. Its a business's dream to have a customer base this loving stupid. Finishing the game would be a financial disaster for CIG at this point. They make more money developing a game than they would for having a game made.

Honest question. Do you think they have enough funds to pay for development through 2022 already, or do you think they will continue to take in funds at the current pace even if it takes 4 more years?

I just don't see any way they maintain funding for long enough to hit a 2022 release. My bet is that if the Crytek case doesn't sink them, they will call the game "released" sometime this year with the promise to add mechanics and continue development.
