Mr.PayDay posted:easily accessible information on staffing I ignored the complete loving misuse of 'exponentially' because these people are really dim, but this twitches my forensic boner.

I'm the adult who provides money in exchange for a good, doesn't receive that good because the recipient of that money constantly changes the good because they're getting more money, and thinks that it's acceptable behavior and not at all enabling a scam. That's definitely something adults do. They're called suckers, but they're typically adults.

Taintrunner posted:THE THING will be being able to spawn your space fighter from inside your clanmate’s space carrier and fly it out into battle which I feel like is a very basic thing that should have been demo’d by now for the sort of game they claim to be making Commando u/StarLoop explains: „Another simpleton post. In case you haven't noticed, everything about this game is getting a lot more complex. Picking your ship is a major gameplay decision. You'll need to research the ships you purchase carefully. That's a huge part of the game. The same week people were complaining about simplifying the pledge system CIG released details hinting of the complexities of the fuel system in even basic ships. Star Citizen won't be a simple game, just get used to that. Picking your ship or insurance is the start of this complex game. Do your research. Complaining again and again about something being complex is just setting you back compared to savvy players. Start learning, stop complaining.“

Ok, I know we are really down on the chances of SC ever being more than a tech demo, but PLEASE for the love of god if it does becomes a reality we need a guild designed for the sole purpose of driving B'tak insane. I would actually play this poo poo heel of a game as a shipless flunky with a pristine record (so he is assured I am trustworth per his idea of safe gameplay) to simply get on his ship to space his rear end and fly away with his goodies.

You know what I would like to see? No? Well, gently caress you, i'll tell you anyway. A poll! A poll of SC backers asking them what they want to do when SC is finally realeased, how they want to fly. A) In my own ship by myself B) As captain with other players as my crew C) As a crew member on someone else's ship I'm going out on a limb here, but i suspect the results would be something like this: A) 80% B) 19.9% C) 0.1% This of course might cause a problem for those wanting to command peons. Perhaps goons could make up the shortfall.

IIRC we Goons know we will win anyway: The whole development process is a great entertaining desaster. If this never releases, we will keep laughing and enjoying this threads. If there ever releases sth like a game with 20% of what was promised in 2022 and is a mediocre version of ED and Eve , a Goonfleet will drive the SC Whiteknight nuts and we will exploit and break ingame stuff and just make the ubernerds cry and calling names. Third option, the „game“ will be released and be an unstable“how did this get out of beta“ POS trainwreck in the year 2022 that is boring and laggy (like today) and the ratings and critics rip this assunder and Chris and Sandi are MIA with backers Millions and the SC reddit is upset why they funded this shitshow 10 years , and we can make fun of them all. Either way, no matter how this fiasco continues Goons will win with the last laugh, and we gamers as a whole were witnesses how Chris Robbers turned the funding mechanism and hype into a scam and a product that other studios could have developed with 10 % of the costs and less poo poo in 1/4 of the time.

That's definitely something adults do. They're called suckers, but they're typically adults. It isn't that people fall for scams, it's that they continue to fall for scams, and fail to understand why justifying falling for a scam is part of the wider problem. While it's fairly innocuous to hand over cash to someone that seems to constantly redefine the transaction because of various reasons, none of which are _transparent_, it leads to a fairly pernicious problem of disconnecting cause and effect; We are not _purchasing_, we are merely _contributing_ in the hope of _helping_. The entire process then becomes one of managing expectations, but they're working from a basis of presumed knowledge. For example, the 'factual' basis of the number of people working on the game, which appears to be fluid outside of the mandated filings required by EU law and might cover a number of subcontractors. I'm kinda intrigued by the whole faith-based portion of this because it is getting into areas of faith; there's a 'common knowledge' that's more informed by desire rather than specifics, and I'm amused as all hell by the increasing appeals to the authority of Chris; Of course this isn't a scam, look at all the pictures. Chris wouldn't be working this hard without an endpoint. It's not like he's exceeded his reach before.

I really don't get why this particular sale was the line for so many whales. They've been through hundreds of these scummy sales at this point. Seriously they made it through the official yearly holiday stream being an hour long home shopping network ship sale and the land sales but the straw that broke the camels back is a non-existent tank bundled with the non-existent six hundred dollar autism chariot?

Most of the die hard backers have been on the boat for 2-6 years during which they deluded themselves into a superiority complex, which is threatened by the new paradigm (new money is more "valuable" than old money). Also, this sale is aimed at cultist new blood but SC has had no significant new blood in the cultist group for one year, possibly two so there are fewer and fewer voices that speak in CIG's defence or down vote/report infidels.

VictorianQueerLit posted:I really don't get why this particular sale was the line for so many whales. They've been through hundreds of these scummy sales at this point. They want the newest, biggest, and best of whatever comes out. In this case, that means LTI is attached to whatever hull they are considering buying. They have realized that they are on equal footing with someone who just joined and is willing to spend the fresh cash. If they want LTI, their 'status' confers no privilege. That's what makes them mad. I thought for a bit that CIG was boosting store credit prices in attempt to get that liability off their books. However, I have come to the belief that they don't carry it on the books in the same manner that airlines carry frequent flier miles. If they did, they could just charge double or triple the cash price if you are using store credit to purchase a Warbond edition ship without using fresh cash. But they didn't, therefore the conclusion can only be that - ROBERT NEED MORE GOLD.

VictorianQueerLit posted:I really don't get why this particular sale was the line for so many whales. They've been through hundreds of these scummy sales at this point. LTI has always been the riot-maker. Any time they gently caress with LTI there is a revolt, because the specter of losing the six-hundred dollar ship that you haven't even got to sit in is too much for the most hardened fan to swallow. It reminds them that CIG has absolutely no idea what they're doing with regards to value or time-for-money, that they're just kind of making it up as they go along, and that any guarantee made today could go out the window tomorrow if a more convenient source of income comes along. In short it is one of the only ways that CIG manages to actually drill through to these morons that they don't think of the long time backers as particularly valuable customers. Since the entire foundation of self-esteem for a lot of these people is now "Believed in Chrim Rombo when nobody else would, GOONS" the removal of the scales from their eyes tends to be particularly painful. This is also why, given any opportunity at all, they will quickly snap back into defender mode. They really really really don't want to think about how embarrassing it would be for them if CIG isn't just incompetent, but actively malicious. There's a level of shame in the cognitive dissonance there that you typically only see with conservative disasters.
