Exclusively Games: Star Citizen: Is Development Chaotic and Slow? Yes. Is it a Scam? No. Excerpts: quote:Star Citizen is not a scam. quote:Of course, it is important to remain critical of one’s self, and I’m no exception to that: I’m certainly emotionally compromised. Not because I spent a huge amount of money on the project and am desperately hoping to see a return of my investment; rather, it’s because I want the project to succeed to show the world that games of this scope have a chance to be made. Star Citizen’s ambitions are enormous, and come with a great risk of failure. The game’s ambitions are those of dreamers, and right now the gaming industry needs a few more of those. Or are we satisfied with the state of AAA gaming, with its annual franchise entries and formulaic approach to game design? We need risk-takers and bold projects, and I would cheerlead for any project that attempted something as huge as Star Citizen is currently attempting.

The only way things in Star Citizen could be realistic is if we first assume that everyone in the future is a moron and that society has forgotten how to build most things in a sensible manner. FTL travel is ubiquitous, but there's no anti-glare treatment on cockpit glass. Artificial gravity is standard fare, but Port Olisar still had giant spinning rings for some reason. Space combat is common, but surface based weaponry still has a range of a few kilometers. To summarize:

"CR and his brother always deliver good to memorable games" Yeah I don't think anyone is saying Star Citizen isn't gonna be memorable. I will remember it fondly, just like I remember LEGO ADVENTURES: DRIVING THROUGH TOWN or whatever dumbass poo poo Erin made.

Bofast posted:The only way things in Star Citizen could be realistic is if we first assume that everyone in the future is a moron and that society has forgotten how to build most things in a sensible manner. SC’s world and lore is all just a nonsensical amalgam of elements from famous sci-fi franchises, all stripped of their context and thrown into a blender with Chris’ famous WWII in space fantasy and fetish for fascism/militarism. None of it makes sense or is the least bit compelling.

Dementropy posted:If it was a scam, it would be the most stupid scam in the history of scamming. It would be such a phenomenally bad scam, history books in thousands of years would still be talking about how bad a scam Star Citizen was. What kind of scam creates a corporate structure with multiple hundreds of employees that all have to be paid industry rates? What kind of scam burns literally hundreds of millions of dollars on rent, taxes, salaries and technology instead of frivolous yachts and private jets? Even if the intentions of Chris Roberts and his company was to scam Kickstarter backers and late backers alike, at this point, it might actually be more profitable to just finish the sodding game to get some return on investment from the scam. Fyre Festival was a scam. Enron was a scam. Theranos was a scam. Polly Peck was a scam. Corporate structure - check Employees - check Rent - check Taxes - check Laptops - check In fact, to be a successful scam you only have to not look like a scam. Turns out that people will just give you money on the basis of sounding right. I agree that it might have started with the best of intentions, but after they flashed past fifteen million, all bets were off. Of course, this basically just addresses malice rather than incompetence. Edit: Note that Theranos has not yet been _proved_ a scam, and they're still talking about the machine that they would have built, but for all intents and purposes, the Federal government considers it a scam. And someone should have a word with Gen. Mattis about it. Hav fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Oct 23, 2019 |

I mean it's CIG so of course it's par for the course, but it seems kind of odd for a company to host their own community gathering cocktail hour and make a profit off of it.
