Bayonnefrog posted:I know some in here funded. I didn't as it doesn't interest me to begin with but I never even knew the kickstarter was a thing until years later and it was starting to turn into a big story. Same here, except I did see the kickstarter when it was happening. My sense of nostalgia was tickled by the idea of Wing Commander Again (because I was a kid when the first two games came out, and like all kids I had lovely taste but a boundless ability to be entertained by things, and my ancient, bitter heart is endlessly longing to recapture that feeling), so I looked over the pitch, and that's when I noped right the gently caress out. Two things turned me off immediately with Star Citizen's kickstarter. The first was the way the pitch emphasized the online multiplayer features; besides not being something I care about, it's the kind of thing that can only be done with a lot of effort and talent and time, and even if it can be done, it's hard to do it well. And for a loving reboot of a nostalgically dumb shoot-alien-cats-in-space game, it didn't even make any goddamn sense to do it in the first place. It was a big warning sign that told me the part they would have to focus most of their attention on was not the part I would find fun. The second thing that turned me off was the pricing structure, which seemed to charge way too much for what didn't sound like a very interesting game, and had higher tiers that looked like straight-up ripoffs. By the time they started in with all of the ridiculously implausible stretch goals, I'd already decided to keep my wallet closed. (Online play and base price were also why I didn't back Elite: Dangerous. They talked up online multiplayer enough to drive me away, and a faithful update of Elite's snoretastic space-trucker gameplay was never going to be worth more than $10 to me.) I think I saw stories after the kickstarter campaign about how much money Star Citizen had collected, but I didn't think much about it; it wasn't until sometime around the whole Star Marine debacle started being discussed that I started reading this thread and marveling at the slow-motion trainwreck.

I don't believe you understand the difference between a mental disability and mental illness. A lack of impulse control can be quite dangerous. Seek help commando.

Hey moma, don't bite so easily. I'm sure you can still get some money for your ships, just be aware of paypal claw-back time periods if you go that way. Avoiding the subject of the current game play offered by CIG as we usually do, what do you think is going to happen on the 9th of Feb? If CIG don't somehow manage to delay things, I really don't think Citizens are going to be happy with the ruling on the motion to dismiss.

Pilz posted:What I've always wondered is what the hell is on his left monitor and why is it there. For what reason would Chris have a model open in a posing/animation program on one monitor and code on another? Did he just kick some random employee out of their chair for the photo-op? Pull up some random source code and start typing and deleting segments, since none of it works anyway? Just trying to look fancy for the camera. Sometimes at my job I'm tasked with fancying up the office for visits from high ranking executives from other companies, the press, whatever. I have to put up fancy looking graphs, charts, and maps that cover up the actual useful poo poo I use day to day, and my job because 100x more difficult for a day because we have to look good for the onlookers. It loving sucks. They even made me do it when a bunch of kids toured us for take your child to work day. I was so pissed.

Kosumo posted:Hey Everyone, did you guys know that apperantly there was a ice burg that looked just like Hello Kitty way back when, and this ship just so had to go take a closer look .... That burg had to pay a metric ton of licensing fees too.  They should have done a better job and just made “Space Kitten” and had some no talent artist draw a “close approximation” to Hello Kitty and roll with it. Totally avoid all those dumb fees and copyrights and boring stuff that gets in the way of ideas!

“Dear friends, the developer who spoke to you spoke in honesty after working here and being involved with our internal discussions about what will and will not be in the game. This honesty has been loving vanquished and I’d like to let you know that lies will commence again immediately. Yes, all of your dreams will absolutely come true. All of them. Everything Chris ever uttered is being worked on right now 24/7 by skilled professionals. Please ignore the idiot developers who dare to try to be honest with you because trust me, with all your trust, that everything you want is coming. Without a doubt.”

AP posted:Avoiding the subject of the current game play offered by CIG as we usually do, what do you think is going to happen on the 9th of Feb? Well, is there anything that can make Citizens happy? Even a dismissal of Crytek's case would still leave Citizens exactly where they are right now: trying to fill a constantly-growing hole by frantically shoveling money into it. The game itself will still be no fun, glitchy, and nowhere near release. Their elaborate dreams for the game will still need to be constantly and energetically defended from all the information that would make them think they're just suckers who threw their money into a burning trashcan. If (more likely when) CIG's motion to dismiss is denied, it'll be like all the other bad news Citizens get: they'll get over it quickly, and get right back to claiming everything's going to be great -- you'll see -- you'll ALL see -- everything. is. going. to. be. great.

big nipples big life posted:In Monster Hunter World you can catch creatures with a wrist mounted netgun and let them loose in your house. I have a pink rabbit weasel and a bunch of goofy birds in my room. I have no doubt this feature will also be in Star Citizen, with the added bonus that you can also science the animals. Lots of science.

Rockstar lost the narrative with their excessive cursing in San Andreas. I had baby nieces over constantly when that game came out and I didn't have headphones for the console. Couldn't play that game properly for a long rear end time.
