If Blobers doesn't disappear when this thing is released, I'll be quite surprised, but then I've seen some massively broken brained Goons defending things, so he could be around.

I like the $465M typo, though; He seems completely unaware that venture capitalists often invest money to provide for losses to offset the balance sheet. Being rich doesn't mean that you're smart. A literal object lesson for modern times.

Especially at the moment.

I read it as: "I am a decent guy, so I won't be washing the dirty laundry I have publicly, but rest assured, there are plenty," though your version is also possible.

So I guess 3.7 is out on live. Features: caves, a new ship you can pay for, some new guns?

The servers are apparently melting under the load of Citizens but this is the first patch all year that I can't even be assed to download. None of the new stuff will be accessible and I don't really feel like scouring the loving landscape looking for a ten meter wide cave opening so I can scoop poo poo or whatever thrilling gameplay Chris has envisioned taking place in the brief time before my commando clips through the mantle of the planet and becomes one with infinity.

I'm just... so done with it. I cannot believe there's any enthusiasm left from the fan base, but here we are.

It’s a weird thing to say outright. NDA’s are not unusual.

(Although NDAs are unenforceable when they cover illegal acts or conspiracy to commit illegal acts. I add for no particular reason.)

game is even shittier this patch by the way. i dont know why i put myself through this poo poo.

- remember how annoying it was to be interdicted in the middle of your 40 minute mandatory Immersive Quantum Drive™ Travel? well now it happens every 10-30s. lol!
- remember how annoying it was to not be able to get a ship with cargo space without spending a few hundred bucks! rejoice, rental is finally in! but it's extremely expensive, get grinding. (i didnt get to try it though because my ship blew up every time i tried getting to the place where you can rent ships. see interdictions above)
- had another guy in chat tell me that The Game Isn't Meant to be Fun when i was whining about the above points. he also lowkey told me that the longass quantum drive travel times are my own fault for not Investing enough in Chris Robert's Star Citizen™.

see you in 6-12 months, citizens!

That whole "Note" section is just basically CI¬g cramming as many acronyms for "suckers" in one page as possible. Of course, nothing on that page is proper anymore since CIG don't exist anymore and now CI¬g are in charge. :shrug:

It wasn't an ELE that wiped out the backer funds. It was Tristan Timothy Taylor.
Roberts: get me EMC on the phone, I need them to loan us a couple thousand petabytes of storage!
Dev: why?
Roberts: <wave hands> because we need to make sure every planet is 1:1 realism!
Dev: Sir did you watch the MSFS trailer?
Roberts: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooah
Dev: Sir be honest.
Roberts: <sniffle> It's not fair! I am making the BDSSE! I should be the one making these presentations!
Dev: Sir our game is poo poo, it will always be poo poo.

2 hours+ in: 6th crash, still (still) havent managed to get to the rental kiosk. this is not a joke. i literally cant get to the rental kiosk because i'll either get interdicted every 10 seconds, my ship will exit quantum drive due to overheating right inside an asteroid, blowing up immediately, or i'll crash.



why am i doing this to myself goons.

e: 8th crash. im done
chris roberts wins. ill never reach the rental kiosk. dropping $10k on ships now, this is His vision. it's how it's meant to be

Funny to think that a game that has been in development for like 9 years or something crazy like that is still unplayable and never will be because the people who started the programming on the game are all gone and all that is left is for people to be taught by people who were taught by people who were taught by people who were taught by the original devs and no one has any idea what the hell the coding is all about,

Like I imagine the people in the coding team just arrive in the cubes and stare unblinkingly shocked and wide-eyed at their PC monitor, unmoving, for 10 hours a day and then clock out and go home

They can't fix what's broken because that's admitting it's broken. Better to keep releasing ships, over and over again, one after another, and let backers think "well if the game were broken they wouldn't be releasing all these ships." That's why I say this is an open scam - there's nothing for CIG to hide. They're putting the broken poo poo front and center for anyone to try, whittling down the backer base so now they're robbing the mentally ill almost exclusively. Since it's "just a game" there's no way to stop them. "Hey it's open development, we have free-fly weekends all the time, nobody can say they didn't know what they were paying for." Whether or not their targeted audience has the cognitive ability to figure out what's happening to them is a question that will go unasked and unanswered. Keep on stealing, Crobbler! You could steal the wallet right from a guy on 5th avenue and you wouldn't lose backers.

Because the Chinese people buying up game/studio rights are targetting actual games or functional dev studios. CI¬g is world known as being dubious in ability, CR is world known to be dubious in ability, CI¬g has no actual product, CR has no relevant experience in production of AAA games and history tends to repeat itself only bigger each time.

In other words, they are going after real studios led by real devs with real products behind them. :)
