This was not a costume contest lol this dude literally posted on Spectrum and Reddit asking whether or not Star Citizen needed a "Dark Knight" to protect it from Derek Smart and the goons (y'know, by murdering them).

Jobbo_Fett posted:Just got my first warning by security staff for talking about star citizen at dreamhack That wasn't security - that was a real-life manifestation of subsumption AI coded by Chris Roberts himself, which he could do much faster than his employees, and he absolves himself of that. You got a warning because even in real life no Star Citizen code works. Stay frosty, commando. You're surrounded by Derek Smarts but the good word of the hot bear must be heard.

Most of understanding the fiasco of Star Citizen is understanding Chris Roberts. Here's a quote from Chris Roberts, explaining why the Wing Commander movie kind of sucked.Chris Roberts posted:I wish someone had sat me down, forced me to pick four or five things that it was important to do well, and focus on those. There is no one with that authority, no one at all, who is in a position to do that on Star Citizen. So what would you think would happen next?

You know reading that poo poo, and just having it reinforced repeatedly how much of a dumb, talentless gently caress Chris Roberts is, makes me think someone there - maybe not the rank and file - but someone is getting paid more than industry standard. There's no way any self-respecting professional would work under that moron. Maybe the everyday dudes get under industry to be "OMG I'M IN THE GAMES INDUSTRY !!11" but the actual pros (the few remaining)... they're pockets must be getting lined, or some other less immediately tangible benefit. I can't imagine any other impetus for working with him.

Agony Aunt posted:Ah, Strike Commander. Speaking about Strike Commander, the Digital Antiquarian has a new article about the decline of Origin up that throws some nice shade on Chris Roberts. quote:The box’s claim that it would run on an 80386 was a polite fiction at best; in reality, you needed an 80486, and one of the fastest ones at that — running at least at 50 MHz or, better yet, 66 MHz — if you wished to see anything like the silky-smooth visuals that Origin had been showing off so proudly at recent trade shows. Even Origin had to admit in their newsletter that customers had been “stunned” by the hardware Strike Commander craved. Pushed along by the kid-in-a-candy-store enthusiasm of Chris Roberts, who never had a passing fancy he didn’t want to rush right out and implement, they had badly overshot the current state of computing hardware. Also, from his earlier articles on Wing Commander, Chris Roberts even had to be kicked from the game he's most famous for in order to get it finished. quote:No one at Origin had much time to bask in the rapturous reception accorded to Wingleader at the 1990 Summer Consumer Electronics Show. Their end-of-September deadline for shipping the game was now barely three months away, and there remained a daunting amount of work to be done.

Savy Saracen salad posted:The question is how can someone that insane have that much money to throw around on a toy?!?!?! I would love to know... drat If I had 50k to spare I would have dropped out of work and taken months to travel the world and stay in the most luxurious intercontinental hotels and enjoy the high life and amazing scenery and 5 star food etc.... !!!! I would have spoilt myself like a king with that money! Clifford has some decent engineering job and probably makes low six figures, but he’s lived in a series of hovels and spends all his money on video game spaceships, weeb poo poo, and exploitively overpriced PC gaming crap designed to fleece nerds. Sadly he’s not even the biggest whale, rumors abound of people into this mess for well over 100k. The prime demographic of Star Citizen whales are 40 something upper middle class men with some decent tech industry job, who still feel that they haven’t achieved the power and success they deserve. They’ll pretend that the money they're spending is pocket change, but really it’s money they need to be saving and investing. But they’ve been sold on the fantasy that Star Citizen will be a simulation of unprecedented depth and detail in which they will be important and powerful spacemen. Hence you have something like the giant space yacht that serves no gameplay function nor has gameplay designed for it. It’s a glorified digital penis. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Sep 7, 2019 |

My organization, named <Bad Grammar Latin Name> is going to pick the convoy clean and take all the loot back the base we built on Daymar (fighter of the Nightmar). Our lead fence will sell all these goods and we'll pay system officials to look the other way in the future. Did you visit the town of Barky yet? It's on planet Barktona...as described in near-Shakespearean prose on the official RSI forums... These adventures and more await YOU. Pledge NOW.
