I am still a few pages behind but how the hell did none of you catch that in the slides they very clearly say "key beats for the art team to hit" when describing the the ship? I mean we all know this is blatant jpg sale, but the loving balls on CInotG to put that in. The backers truly are brainwashed to miss this.

Chris clearly didn't want to spend ten minutes updating the internal design slides used at the original internal pitch meeting. So we get a glimpse behind the scenes thanks to some good ol' CIG laziness.

Imagine, this is the Chris supposedly fixing the physics flight model.

How Citizens are not scared at that thought is beyond me. He's clearly incompetent.

Let's go on a memory trip indeed:

YouTube video of CRoberts and DBraben discussing stuff, four videos in a playlist.

It's nice to see them in a direct comparison, as it really highlights - I believe - how insecure Chris is.

To be honest, art is also 3D art, as in modelling, since the people who do that are called 3D artists. I am pretty sure they have at least some models - which is more than can be said about some of the older, original concepts sold in 2012 - 14.

Listen, Chris needs more money to complete his pet project, a very bad "movie game" that's neither, and that nobody wants. In fact, people would pay willingly to prevent its release. So what if he just held a concierge event and took money for a ship that doesn't exist in a game he's not making, and then used that stolen money to fund his own personal vanity project? The man codes 80 hours a week with advanced physics - that's guaranteeing cutting-edge physics algorithms that NASA will want to pay rights for to help fund their Mars missions. Nothing but the best from the man who thinks you can swim in space if you wave your arms a certain way. I for one am sick of all the negativity surrounding this project, everyone is acting like lying, stealing, fraud, and misrepresentation are bad things. They're not seeing the bigger picture here. I'm literally debugging a device driver while I type this.

Stop spreading FUD. There's no reason at all why used car salesman Chris Roberts should feel insecure in the presence of Cambridge University alumni, pioneering computer scientist and co-founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation David Braben OBE.

Crap I just realized we are having a "Remember When?"

We are now required to establish a counter-convention where we discuss all of the wonderfully stupid things having occurred over the last decade with CIG.

I'll be in charge of the t-shirts! Maybe have the convention in Las Vegas, Miami, Dresden or Detroit?

I wonder if SIG will ever introduce their own cryptocurrency, tradable for ingame currentcy when the game is released. Ofcourse there will be a bonus for those who invest early ...

Yes. We go to extreme lengths to discredit CIG here. Here's a small but non-exhaustive list of some of the things we've forced CIG to do:

Miss every self reported milestone, to the point where they had to stop reporting milestones.
Charge thousands of dollars for pictures of unimplemented game assets.
Lose a seat in, and thus missell, one of said game assets.
Continually expand the scope of features while making almost no progress on said features.
Tout themselves as the most transparent company ever while making everyone involved sign NDAs.
Relocate their offices at vast expense from Austin Texas to the place that entirely coincidentally is where the film industry is based.
Make Sandi lie about her educational credentials.
Make Chris not understand physics. Or anything.
Make Ben fat.

I know I shouldn't poo-poo negative press coverage but it irritates me when game journos read a subreddit drama thread and then do a write-up. I know that getting the facts is hard, but "What may raise eyebrows is... the fact that this spacecraft makes use of gameplay mechanics that aren't in the alpha build yet." All of the spacecraft do that. That is the most fundamental piece of why the game is so controversial, you knob! If they'd been selling bazillion dollar ships that worked for the last seven years, this thread wouldn't exist.

Either:

A) was sitting there prior to the CIG horde showing up and was caught in the aftermath. My sympathies.

OR

B) significant other dragged to this event, against her will and openly showing her disdain in the picture. Again my sympathies.
