It's funny how shady British guys always have that exact accent. Is it a London accent? I'm terrible about placing regional accents

Chris Roberts certainly has created an insidious cult. If he has even a thousand whales in his thrall, and each of those thousand has $20k of disposable income, that's $20million a year alone... It's basically a religion to them. Hell, it IS a religion. edited, my dyslexia is hitting me this morning Ambaire fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Dec 13, 2019 |

I had figured that the pledge tracker numbers are 100% made up because even with a cult of crazy nerds buying poo poo every paycheque like they're being tithed I have a hard time believing that their income floor is in the tens of thousands per day even on the worst days. Maybe the numbers are only 99% made up and they count trade-ins as fresh income?

These SC youtubers really love Betteridge's law of headlines. Every time I see their clickbaity "Is SC scam?" questions, I already know what's their answer.

You can make loads of money and still lose more than you earn. I wouldnt be suprised if their company finances are completely hosed at this point because theres no estimated release date.

Dogeh posted:Looking back at that Star Wars video, I always remember Luke having a failed run, back in 1977. Wait, I remember him having a failed bombing run too, after which he was prompted to use the force on the second run. Or was it the other guys that failed and him being the last one to try? I only saw it years later on TV somewhere.

Then Luke's wingman gets redshirted and he's the only one left, because of course he is. After Vader gets sniped from behind he lines up his scanner and then space grandpa tells him to turn it off because space grandpa is senile and doesn't believe in technology.

AFAIK Luke's failed run was never in any of the releases, only in the novelization (which was based on the script pre edits).

The latest puff piece from CIG - it's all about the weather... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn_jMmneDV8 Hmm. Another never done before achievement, snow particles. Oh, and of course, the new ship. "A relatively small ship with a massive punch". A massive punch to the balls of anyone who ever owned the previous ship which was the best ship ever until the new one. Dear God, it's relentless. PS: Jared must still be taking the acting classes, by which I mean he's even more obviously "presenting" in this episode - he'll have quite the show reel to hawk around when the project goes tits up, that's for sure.

MedicineHut posted:I think it was gold leader who failed the first run in the final cut. Thanks - catching up with old posts I've now read similar explanations. I have seen the original SW only once that I can remember a bit. Remarkable how important these movies seem to be considered. I wonder if the SC 'lore' is already more text than the SW stories.

I wonder what Crobberts exit plan is. He clearly has no illuisions about where this debacle is heading, since to my knowledge he hasn't appeared in any videos or promotions for this in a long time, meaning he is actively distancing himself from the BDSSE. A lot of the money from this project has undoubtedly gone straight into his and Strangli's pockets, so surely they cant get away from this scot-free can they? Also, what happened to the crysis lawsuit?

From Frontier's Planet Zoo Arctic DLC announcement: Are you ready for an ice-cold adventure in a wintery wonderland? Perhaps you're willing to face a red-hot challenge, in a setting that will prove the most difficult yet... Are you ready to answer Bernie Goodwin's call?

Quavers posted:From Frontier's Planet Zoo Arctic DLC announcement: And from the patch notes for the free update: Refunds have now been modified, and now have a breakdown of costs in the Zoo finance screen. If a guest has spent less than half of their allotted time in the zoo before going home due to low happiness, they will receive a refund. If an animal escapes and the guest flees, they will receive a refund that's proportional to the time they've spent in the zoo. Innocent guests ejected from the park will receive a full refund. Additionally, unhappy guests will not donate as much money to your zoo.Frontier's zoo title has a better in-game refunds & consumer rights policy than CI!G do as a company

Spatial posted:According to their own publically released finances, this has been the case for a while. They already would be in the red if not for external investment. Yeah the Calder investment kicked the can down the road until 2021. So filthy question of how long this can go on really comes down to a whether or not Chris will start quietly scaling back the size and expense of CIG at some point (SOTA style) or try to keep all of the plates spinning until the last possible moment.

MedicineHut posted:I think it was gold leader who failed the first run in the final cut. Gold were the Y-Wings (yellow marks on the hull). The pilots making the trench run were all shot down before firing torpedos. Red squadron were the X-Wings (red markings on the hull, number of stripes at x-foils designating red 1, red 2 etc.), from whom one managed to fire two torpedos which didn't go in. He wears a gold helmet, though, so I guess you remember that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WBG2rJZGW8&t=538s e: yes, this is important information taking up space in my brain!!!
