Guy appears to be completely correct. All the purchased ships will be completely useless in the only portion of the game crobbler cares about releasing. So, should those pledges be going toward the single player game? lol

This is why I consider the Crobbler a crook and not just a vanilla failure. Nobody would fund his bad movie game, so he funded it with the promise of a product he didn't care about, and one far beyond his extraordinarily limited abilities. SQ42 was entirely possible, albeit inevitably bad. But nobody wants that, certainly not to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. In that sense he's worse than Elizabeth Holmes. At least she defrauded people over a very focused and specific lie.

The Titanic posted:Bad news team. I'm really looking forward to your long and delusional screed on the subject of how SSOCS (or whatever made up term for mundane video game tech is the flavor of the week) will be coming in current year plus one and will allow for the game to finally come together with the launch of the secret dev build in current year plus two!

My favourite thing about this is the backer saying he wishes he'd only pledged $110 instead of thousands, not that he wishes he never pledged in the first place. Even when accepting the truth that he's been scammed, he still doesn't fully regret it

"For the second time in a row, I bet the I'm gonna remind you this again" "Again I don’t play Star Citizen like than nor am I worshipping them like you do Sony." Reading some of these tweets really breaks my brain. Perhaps I'm too drunk or not drunk enough but spelling and grammar really loving helps when trying to convey one's thoughts.

I'm the $110 he'd still throw into the dumpster fire knowing full well it's a scam.

shrach posted:It's disclosed in there and kind of interesting. Thanks. Yeah, I also saw that £34m for 20 employees and raised an eyebrow wondering what that was. So you think it is some kind of bonus for some employees? Wow, freaking big bonus if it is. Seems like Sean Murray early lies must have paid out after all. You sure there is no way that some of that could have been used in paying temp devs or external hires / contracting companies staff passing as payroll somehow? Here is at least one example of 3rd party HG seems to have worked with: https://www.gregbuchanan.co.uk/testimonials MedicineHut fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Aug 15, 2019 |

So that Kazan plays League of Legends. Jesus, almost makes me want to get back into the game (although he'd be on the NA server) to find him. I cannot imagine how hilarious it would be to have Kazan on your side. gently caress, I can imagine him bashing out orders for everyone on the team, telling them that he works on OS level software and therefore everyone has to shut up and listen to him as we all die at a terrible baron call. I guess he reports everyone on both sides at the end of the game for not being on his level. In fact, LoL is like a universe of Kazans where everyone thinks they're a genius and everyone else is trash. Makes sense why he'd play it.

hey my dude, reflecting on who you are as a person should take place after someone invites you somewhere and you get way too drunk and start crossing some lines, not when you can't get enough people to watch you play a video game.

Wow, freaking big bonus if it is. Seems like Sean Murray early lies must have paid out after all. It's possible that it wasn't HG paying for anything, but it was Sony helping them out. NMS is one of a flagship Sony titles right now and even previously they were offering assistance with development (which HG denied, wanting only promo help). I find it likely that after the initial backlash HG were like: "Okay, hop on the board and help us, I guess," but that wouldn't show in any financials and you don't really need to put it into credits either (might show in there, though?). I imagine they got a team of devs and from how focused they are, I also guess that they got a competent project manager or two, likely with previous experience on Sony titles.

colonelwest posted:That’s kind of my impression as well. Again it seems like a lot of people wanted to believe that a low budget indie game was going to be a true AAA evolution of the space sim genre. People are apparently keen on pinning really far out hopes on games. I thought it was quite clear what was coming when Travis did the one-hour gameplay video last September (Privateer HD remake), and later gameplay videos didn't really sell anything else. But how about that Star Citizen? Now that's something else!

Wow, freaking big bonus if it is. Seems like Sean Murray early lies must have paid out after all. Salaries has to apply to employees and the averages shown. So they may have sub-contractors and they would be paid out of the £1.2m for 18 months to January 2018 and the £400k for 9 months to October 2018. That said, since this current patch release is now in August 2019 and their last release "Visions" was ~November 2018, there's no financial information currently available that contains the ~9month period this "Beyond" patch was worked on. Also in my haste edit before I said they paid £6.8m in corporation tax which was entirely incorrect.

ALL games are low budget indies compared to the true opus-magnum AAAA game that Chris Roberts is producing.

It's really hard to defend the time line when you put it up against any other achievement. Went to school, went to college, got a job released first game. Something doesn't seam right with star citizen ... You don't understand game development!!!

Agony Aunt posted:A junior dev even understands how things are not right. Tangent, but I love the possessive over Mobiglass. 'My Mobiglass'. It's the same janky code as everyone elses, so it's not like you were singled out, brah. In fact, without a specific fitting (coming soon!) or skins (soming coon!), there's very little distinction between one ship and another. And these guys believe that it's ambitious and complex, but the most compelling gameplay is an offline LARP by gaming guild.
