Lol this is basically sales 1.0. WTF are they talking about. Its just their pitching something that won't exist in a non existemt game.

This is what we mean when we talk about certain Citizens playing Star Citizen. It's not the game on the computer they're into, it's the game of pretending to be a rich person who buys super yachts. Some of these guys have actually conflated their real life identities with the marketing stance taken towards them by a video game company. Imagine having so little self awareness and self esteem that the moment a huckster rolled up to you and started pitching at you like you were a rich person, you immediately absorbed it and rolled with it, then got genuinely offended when people pointed out that no, actually, you work at Costco and that guy just took your disability check.

Someone itt mentioned "Life 2.0" documentary. And after watching it I could say that these dudes no longer want a space game, but an all encompassing simulation that includes spaceships.

The story of this game's development has been working on answering that very question for about 8 years now, and I suspect we still haven't reached bottom and gotten a final answer.

:agreed:

For example, I recently grabbed Titanfall 2 for 5 bucks. What a scam. Game didn't crash once, I didn't have to break the security permissions on my system folders, I never clipped through anything, everything worked smoothly, I never stretched into a Cronenberg horror, enemy AI functioned, just literally everything in that game worked. 5 dollars. This is not how game development is done. The correct approach is to charge hundreds, even thousands, gently caress it even tens of thousands of dollars, for the privilege of watching a hundreds-strong team fail to implement almost anything for the better part of a decade, and what little is implemented is impossibly broken all the way down to its roots.

There are a lot of what I would call "pretenders" out there (meaning anyone not CIG) and I'm getting tired of getting taken for a ride every time I try to buy a game. You know who the scam companies are because they'll have booths at "E3" or at "Gamescon" or any number of fake industry events they make for no other reason than to pull the wool over the eyes of an unsuspecting public. You have "games" like Hellblade using a talented person who isn't even using an #actress hashtag, and the complicit games media gives it high marks. CIG is the only company with the sense to put in a talentless wooden plank, who happens to be married to the CEO and imagines this will provide Hollywood inroads, as a prominent character, and that makes CIG the only actual game development company in history.

I'm sick of fake games everywhere. I've been banging this drum since Space War came out in 1962, and told everyone that would listen that 6 years later there would appear a star over Redwood City and that would herald the creator of the only real game ever made. Nobody listened and now we have a multi-billion dollar industry peddling vaporware that does little more than run as intended and provide entertainment to the consumer.

No more. It ends now 2019 2020 20??

Shitizens shout about goons having a specific agenda constantly, for years, and for as long as I've been here and counted as a "goon", I have never known any 'agenda' other than mocking/laughing at CR's attempt to rekindle his glory days while also taking advantage of people who lack common sense and self control.

Shitizens telling me I was a goon (when I dared to question the almighty CR and his great vision of interactive toilets in jpegs) and telling me I had an agenda was one of the reasons I ended up here, years ago. :D

Tell them the truth. Tell them that you bought back in and apologize profusely. They can´t handle the truth!
