Blue On Blue posted:Yes but what they show you has to be legit and not edited. And it is gone over with a fine tooth comb by experienced people who can smell bullshit from a mile away For a public offering yes. That would also require a market valuation by a bank, which is comedy. Does a private offering require the audited books in the first year? How about the value of the share being completely decoupled from the price? Eg pay $1000 and we throw in this penny share, Citizen!

So I've been in the SC trades reddit (don't ask why) and you'd think it was citizens with a ship or 2 to sell but there are a ton of people there with hundreds of ships each. Here's one from a year ago (didn't realise it was that old when I started but there are dozens more like it)-    That's just a snippet of what the dude is selling! I copy-pasted it into a spreadsheet and it was over $5,700 worth of JPEG spaceships! So my question is, what the gently caress? Are these just incredibly rich people looking to get even richer off fellow SC fans? Bitcoin people? Money laundering? Some sort of currency exchange scheme, trading their local cash for USD? What. The actual. gently caress.

Some people made a good chunk of change off the initial 'rush' into SC I myself tripled my money by selling my account, it was only like an initial $75 account, but some weirdo bought it for 3 times that and allowed me to buy Elite Dangerous and all future DLC (thanks Chris Roberts!) Now take my account and think, if you bought one of the big ticket items, or even 10 of them.... and started a virtual used ship showroom You could flip them for MASSIVE PROFIT The problem is people forgot the market would crash, and now they're stuck with a huge inventory of stupid jpegs they can't get rid of it, or even sell for a loss

monkeytek posted:I don't understand years ago Roberts said they had a server running 1000's of ai's just waiting for the day of glory. I want to meet them, I want to fetishize them and I want to lock them up in my space dungeon! These were all running on the full economy simulation system they had, getting everything prepped for when the launch happened and the AI would know how to do trade runs and the economy would be stabilized. It was all very glorious and I'm sure it was totally real like 3 or 4 or more years ago when they told everybody about how it was running.

Hyper Crab Tank posted:It seems to me that Chris Roberts approaches game design the same way he might, say, writing a book or a movie script. If you can imagine it, it's there; all it takes to build a world is to formulate the picture in your head, and off you go. Sure, someone has to write the words (or code and graphics, as the case may be), but that can be offloaded. The creative vision is what makes the story, after all. When you're writing a book, there's no real limit to what you can imagine. You want a story set in a world with infinitely fidelitous spaceships and factories and space pirates? Sure, knock yourself out. You can have that. This is a good post! One thing that I hope may eventually come to light after this mess settles would be how much of everything Chris is just flat out lying about, totally misunderstood the meaning of and over exaggerated it to the public, and how many things people lied to him about to keep out of the line of fire. There's a lot of mystery here, but there's only one thing I know for certain: he never actually plays his game. I feel like his lack of knowledge of playing his game allows him to better lie to people, too. He can say "well I was told that...!" without feeling guilt that he's selling people Ferrari's while giving them broken Pintos. There's not many people in the world able to be massively successful and also massively ignorant about what they're doing, simultaneously. At least not when you are trying to run a company with moral integrity. That's kind of the kicker really.  He's had enough money he has been able to fund multiple studios and contractors, all over the world. There was no reason why he had to choose the path of "questionable at best, most likely scummy activity" method of running a company. All he had to do was just put a new coat of paint on Freelancer or something stupid. He could have been making Star Citizen 2 by now.

Hav posted:No, I think he's beginning to sweat the gap between his vision and the reality, literally. He has a body of documentary evidence that is going to produce a quite amusing Roberts Vs Roberts series as he starts to suggest that after ten years development is when things get _really_ stale. I think he's upset, and miffed about the allegations. I bet he thinks the show is over though and he's starting his exit strategy, if he hasn't been already. I wouldn't be surprised if before the end of the year he leaves with a grandiose speech about "leaving the project in good hands, letting other people take it over after he put in his decade of getting through the technical hurdles" etc etc. Very much placing himself in a position where he got everybody through the hard part and it's easy sailing from here.

McGiggins posted:I'd genuinely like to hear you expand on this a bit. I've read his rationalist harry potter book and I rather liked it, though I haven't read anything further by him. I'd be eager to hear your take on him. Hoping I'm not missing a reply buried in the thread, but my understanding of Yudkowsky's background is that he dropped out of middle school because people were mean to him and never made it through high school or college. This obviously qualifies him to be an AI researcher that people respect even though in the goon "Methods of Rationality" thread a lot of AI researchers point out he has no idea what he's talking about. Yudkowsky's big contributions to the AI research field are that AIs will keep building themselves to be smarter than us and then if they are not friendly they will become as gods who cannot be stopped, so we must keep them friendly by, uh...doing...a thing. Much like the Crobber has plans to build "fidelity" but no actual idea how game design works or how to make a fun game, Yudkowsky and co have no idea how actual machine learning works but a whole lot of gibberish and dedication to a scenario technology is nowhere ready to put into place (the matrix/general purpose AI).

Yudkowsky is an incredibly smart man *has a mental breakdown after talking about an imaginary ai which in the future will create copies of your consciousness to infinitely torture you retroactively unless you work as hard as possible to create it now in the present, but would forgive you if you don't know about it, and now everyone knows about it because i talked about it on my blog and i'm screaming at them to shut up*

Fleetwood Crack posted:Probably a little bit of all of the above. I used to sell LTI ships back when that was the hot poo poo and you could really easily get 50-75% over what you paid for them. Well I'm trying to sell mine for less than what anyone is asking for and no takers so far, so I guess the market is drying up... Not a good sign. Well for CIG anyway.

And this is why SC has such a toxic, delusional and dedicated fan base. It's not about actually playing the game, it's lording over the plebs who never pledged and will never catch up to your thousands of dollars in ships. It's about sneering at those who can't afford top of the line PC's and the "consoletards" who are "ruining" gaming. It's about shouting "I told you so" at all who doubted when Star Citizen ends up being the greatest game ever, because of course it will be. Star Citizens fanbase is like a cross of some of the worst aspects of smug libertarians, Bitcoiners, and the Rapture Ready crowds.

He knows people play games on consoles and they get patched when needed and it’s all good, right? Or is he admitting that even if SC released they’d be swatting “killer door” bugs every day forever? Also while cross play is bad and puts console players at a disadvantage, I don’t see how that would be terribly relevant here. I mean, you’re supposed to play with a joystick. Why not an analogue stick? Which reminds me, Chris saying how combat will be more “lethal” than CoD makes me confident he’s just throwing out what he knows to be “a bad dumb game for casual chads,” since in my limited experience playing CoD multiplayer, if you see someone and fire off a burst at them, they’re most likely dead. Way lower relative health threshold than say, Halo with its shields, or Overwatch with its abundance of escape abilities and solid stage design which means even if you’ve never played on a map before, you KNOW you can find a medkit in any darkened sideroom, or at the bottom of any flight of stairs.
