Nah the real fun one to watch will be Montoya´s :gary:

Boredgamer will likely capitulate and acquiesce. Montoya´s mental gymnastics will be epic though.

the day sc collapses montoya will have to make it look like he somehow won star citizen.
this will indeed be very difficult to acomplish.

my personal bet is that he will look back and reminisce about this adventure and his org as if it was the greatest thing that never happened.

It grabs people's attention when they're scrolling through YouTube. Most of the thumbnails on big channels are statistically designed to generate clicks. Over time, everyone of the internet has adopted that same god drat surprise anal face.

When I worked at a Big Video Games Company (as an uncle) I saw a bunch of research that they had done there where they had experimented with a lot of different app icons. By FAR the most effective app icon, the one that drove the most installs, was the RARG FACE. This was a few years ago, and you don't see RARG FACE around much any more, but for a while it was EVERYWHERE.

Example:


You can still see this if you search for, say "clash" in the mobile app store of your choice.

I guess that for Youtube, DOUCHE GURN is the equivalent to RARG FACE.

YOUTUBE: BoredGamer looks for the silver lining in the collapse of Amazon Gaming Studios...



"It could be that they're not struggling at all... It could be that they're struggling a lot."

Thank you, Bored, for your continuing explication of the obvious and mundane.

Highlight moment.

"A so-called engine?! I mean it IS an engine! A game engine!"
(reading)
"...wasn't built for the kind of multiplayer games Amazon wanted to make and the company's efforts to retool it have proved difficult."
(reacting)
"So this is an OPINION of someone that they talked to rather than... factual... it's ANECDOTAL."

Anything bored says is anecdotal, and I find it weird how his audience eats up anything he says as fact. He believes hope will transform conjecture into fact.
I don't think bored is a bad guy by any means, but I find it weird he blocked me on twitter without ever talking to him. He blocks anyone with criticism and pretends he's open and willing to listen.

I wish people understood anything coming from bored is heavily biased and it will be right to the bitter end. This project would have progressed much better if more people thought for themselves and
held Chris to a higher standard earlier on.

Nevertheless, Bored and Montoya are something special.

Getting a degree and then proceeding to be a QA tester does not sound like a good career decision, but maybe I just don't understand game development.

I mean honestly if somebody came to me with a Bachelors in game design I would probably also not be entirely sure about how qualified they are, but again I'm not in the know here.

No, friend. They will realize they made a hideous decision and need to select a better engine.

There is no software company that chooses software known to be difficult and obtuse to work with because they like a good challenge.

Unless you're Chris Roberts, but honestly his decision to go CryEngine was because they volunteered to make his demo for him. So give that, yeah, I'd also choose the version where I get to do basically nothing but stand on the shoulders of people smarter than me.

Well let's be honest, sometimes you need to start somewhere else in a different position to get where you want to be. I'm sure we've all gone through that sort of shift at some point. CIG knows best, though.
