Derek is firmly entrenched in Vertisce's brain. Does Vertisce have lust on his mind?

Ha ha ha, this loving Crysis mod... JFC. Seriously though, at what point does CI I guess what I'm asking is, given all the evidence now in front of them, how can the Citizens be so monumentally stupid that they can't see how absolutely doomed this project is?

Awesome Fidelity posted:
I’d be at least a little skeptical with anything CIG self-reports. They self-reported Chris and Sandi were “just friends” from 2012-2015. They self-reported Squadron was releasing in 2014, 2015, 2016, etc. They self-reported custom HOTASes releasing next April (in 2015), the Stanton system arriving in full by December 2016 (with all mechanics), and Star Marine in “weeks not months” with stealth tech and “the best playable soldiers on the simulated battlefield” back in 2015, among other things. They self-reported “Star Citizen in an epic first person experience spanning hundreds of star systems...” back when they didn’t even have a fraction of one yet. And so on. I don’t assume their numbers are entirely fictional, just can’t believe it’s 100% accurate either. The company is lead by a pathological family who lie even when they have nothing obvious to gain from it. Discount future disclosures accordingly.

tooterfish posted:So I let curiosity get the better of me. This seems quite outdated, though, it has a timestamp of 3 months ago and talks about patch 1.05, which is like 2015. Not to say that there aren't some fanatics that go overboard with stuff like "Braben lied forever" and "It's a scam, because they didn't fulfill 100 % of what they promised, but only 95 %". Good examples being Oldschool Shadowrunner in KS comments and NorthEasternNomad in /r/starcitizen_refunds (actually not sure they aren't the same person, but the writing seems different).

As a result, it's literally taking every one of CIG's promises at face value and merging them into what would be considered a 100% completed project. Well, there are two caveats to this tracker. First, it's mostly copied from politician fact-checker, where it's usually come-and-go functionality, just for single elections and then nobody cares. Nobody prepared it deeply for ten years plus

Like refunded amounts not subtracted from the total. The "number of backers" includes everyone who's ever visited the website and left an email address, including "free-fly" weekenders who've never dropped a dime into the project. Nor was it reduced when people requested refunds. Funding total includes literally every bit of revenue like tax-refunds and private investor money, not just ship sales.

Yeah, I mean even in that recent I don’t believe, so long as they are sharing data, that they’ll ever disclose anything that might suggest markedly declining interest / demand. Just look at 2017, which was a catastrophic disaster from every perceivable angle, yet according to the tracker it was just another rock solid year like the rest. Why not? If Chris, Erin, Sandi and Ortwin pooled their consciences, they still couldn’t afford a pang of guilt. They’re bad people and it pays well so why mess with a winning formula?

  CNET Gamecenter March 24, 1999 quote:How strong is the Wing Commander franchise? It's hard to say. Wing Commander IV made back its $10 million development, but barely. Then Wing Commander: Prophecy didn't sell as well as Wing Commander III or IV. Still, Swofford claims that Prophecy was still "very successful" and that "Wing Commander is very much alive and well at Origin." Dementropy fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Jul 8, 2019 |

The not married stick insect strangli with her hatred of body hair and good acting Ortwin the evil genius who likes shell companies trips the Cayman islands and using caps lock in court filings Then it's just Erin in corner looks like he is dying of stress trying to manage the construction of skyscraper from the top down on quicksand. I'm sure his bro has helped him out cash wise but I still feel sorry for him. Like I think he feels guilt when I see him or maybe he Is just that Alward.

As a result, it's literally taking every one of CIG's promises at face value and merging them into what would be considered a 100% completed project. I feel like I have been dealing with this type of thing atlot at work, heaps of engineers want to drag things into detail ... See these things have been done but they are not being used, this is works but but doesn't because X and made lots of progress... I think you are missing the complexity. So can we summarise and say we have more excuses than completed tasks? I's it finished or not ? Dose it matter why it's not done ? Ok let's step back what's working right now, what's the number we can all defend comfortably ... 7% ? So 1% per annumm? That's hard to sugar coat, you are going to need more sugar than the thing your coating. There is some human desire to overstate progress as soon lots of time and effort has been spent on something. Its hard to accept 7% is the number let's face facts this is were we are we need a new plan to finish. Then this narrative it's all about to pop into place all the tasks are 90% done progress is about to be a whirlwind!! Pipelines Anyone ?

DigitalPenny posted:What do you guys think of Erin? Am I the only one that thinks he's the most qualified to be doing anything on he project ? I used to believe Erin would bring the discipline and constraints needed to keep Chris’s worst excesses in check. Boy was that stupid. I mean, maybe he’s done a little of it, but belatedly and ineffectually. He was a Lego-game re-skinner working on 6 month release cycles for years before this, so maybe it’s not surprising he’s not lived up to expectations. He’s not all bad. Abandoning Gamescom was seemingly an Erin call. He finally conceded the obvious, that it was a waste of developer time to spend weeks crafting one-time use demos for 2+ shows a year. Perhaps Erin also deserves the credit for finally getting Roadmaps out, too. (Though public shaming of their inability to hit release dates may have just forced Chris to finally give in to them. Who knows?) Even so, Erin’s track record sucks and like Chris, he never owns up to missed targets. He told Bored last year they aimed for Salvage and Server meshing by 3.4, if memory serves — yet we’re at 3.6 and neither are in sight. He hyped up Land Claims with Chris and Haddock in 2017, as if they were just around the corner. Even got giddy imaging the gold rush to secure prime real estate and the potential for players to flip real estate to future fortunes. Bullcrap then and bullcrap now. He also said early this year that this year’s Roadmaps were very achievable, unlike last year’s, which in hindsight he admitted were too ambitious. Having lowered their aim, they’re still missing targets every quarterly release. That reflects more poorly on him than on Chris, IMO.
