The Super-Id posted:The grift here is so blatantly obvious. Of the "flyable" ships in the game what's the average completeness of their functionality (mining, combat, exploration, etc), excluding the ship geometry killing you before you can reach the turret or whatever? Is it better than 25%? There are no mechanics in the game, so there's certainly no mechanics on the ships. By advertising the ships as having roles, they're implying that the game has mechanics for those roles. It does not. Except mining, which I think is pointing your spaceman at a rock and hitting a button.

I just finished watching Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet on Apple +, which is a comedy show that basically smashes It's always sunny in Philidelphia type humor into a game development studio setting, where they are developing a game that is obviously supposed to be Wow, kind of an "Always sunny in Azeroth" type situation. The season is filled with over the top situations and complete failures from staff, ect. It has dawned on me that the comically dysfunctional (and fictional) game studio actually has better fundamentals and practices than CIG appears to have in real life. Also the girls who code episode almost made me poo poo myself.

I wonder how many good games they have played over the years that were developed thanks to publishers, that would never have been released without a publisher. I wonder if they played and like Freelancer, which was release eventually thanks to a publisher and no thanks to CR. I have to say (again), some of these people deserve what they get.

2: Publishers provide nothing. What they do is force developers to release games early in a buggy and rushed state for the sake of the bottom dollar. If you really believe that publishers are good for the industry, I would like to know which publishers are paying you and how much?

Agony Aunt posted:Spoken like someone who has no idea how the real world works. Someone who has drunk the CR kool aid. It's a fairly common viewpoint. People generally don't understand motivation beyond some fairly simple concepts. Like people think that ascending through the ranks of a corporation doesn't come with a bunch of learning and trying to make sure that everyone is pulling in the same direction. Bureaucrats are usually attacked as being meaningless, right up until someone tries to half-arse the job and civilization collapses.

Oh, they didn't? They just documented that their game is unbelievably broken and then kicked it out the door? Gosh, that doesn't sound like their test environment is working as intended at all. What kind of company would do that? Probably one that knows a lot more about game development than me.

Sarsapariller posted:[*] The original ship was like $300 but these days they don't want to sell it for less than $500. But they already sold it to a bunch of fuckers who didn't give Chris all of the money he would like them to give to him! How to resolve this dilemma? With an "Exclusive skin" available for new money only, of course! The skin will also probably include weapon upgrades. Sorry, people who gave us 300 bucks and waited patiently for six years for the ship to be delivered- it's time to pay the Crobbler again or geeeet hosed. Really the best part of CIG is how horribly, horribly money hungry they are and how nothing seems "too low" or "too dirty" for them to take in the course of making money. The people who could complain can't because they'll get drowned out/ignored/closed/banned forever, and there's nothing that can be done to get other people to realize they're getting taken for a ride. That CIG makes it seem like database entries are in short demand only make it better. Better get your DB entry today for this ship. There's only so many before they run out of inserts then it's game over!

I know this is offtopic , but I realized today, Resetera is hilariously over the top cult-ish in regard to Star Citizen, even moreso than the subreddit, if you can believe that. I mean, on-the-spot 5-day - 2-week bans for "drive-by-troll-shitposting" , for comments like "ok, but will it ever release?" Also, from the mod comments, it seems those guys also do that whole reddit thing of scouring your post history, because there's a lot of "previous history of similar shitposts about Star Citizen" cropping up. Huh, one more echo - chamber to avoid, I guess.

So I have the Exploration 2948 pack which comes with the Carrack, and I upgraded the Dragonfly in that pack to the Pisces Expedition. I can now upgrade the Carrack to the expedition variant, but what do I do about the Pisces I already upgraded?
Why did you upgrade the dragonfly into a pisces when it comes with the carrack free? I guess you could use it to CCU to a different ship.

By advertising the ships as having roles, they're implying that the game has mechanics for those roles. It does not. Except mining, which I think is pointing your spaceman at a rock and hitting a button. This is what makes it so obvious in my opinion. The entire concept of this game is all of the "roles," which they are tying to the ships. It's all about all of these different future space lifestyles you can live. It's like time shares in space on private space ships + power fantasy. That's what people are buying. If you just look at the ships without even taking into account any of the rest of the game of Star Citizen they haven't delivered anything in near on a decade with hundreds of millions of dollars. It's impossible for them to finish this game. People say they can release what exists now or something close to it, and I agree that is likely to happen eventually, but for them to ever deliver on what they've been selling people for years would probably require another decade, and the only way they can fund that is by continuing to grow the scam. But if they grow the scam they have to keep adding new things to sell which means the goal just gets further away. I realize this is evident to pretty much everyone here but Star Citizen failed a long time ago, it's impossible for it to succeed in any meaningful way at this point.

People who applied the bait and switch skin or the Carrack power creep upgrade now have no ship at all. Also, it seems like they are already starting to build hype for a new mega whale capital-class luxury ship. Considering the Javelin was $2500, I'm thinking it'll be $3k, at least. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/2xvuo3musdjpzr/source/CloudImperiumGames_StarCitizen_OriginAnnouncement.png

Some quick math that shows why SC makes as much money as it does... $1,000,000 / $645 (per Carrack) = ~1,550 people They only need to sell that many new Carracks to make a million dollars. It doesn't matter that SC's population is tiny. It doesn't matter that nothing in the game will ever appeal to anyone outside of them. They have their target market and that market will fund them forever.

I sincerely look forward to this: I hope Chris is saving enough money, good composers aren't cheap, and a 'full' studio orchestra can easily be in excess of $100k/hour. Though you probably wouldn't need more than a week of calls, these people are professionals! He had better delegate this one, too. Refactoring isn't much of an option if you've already had an orchestra in and finished recording. I mean, I'm sure they'd love the work... On the other hand(waving), I wouldn't be surprised if this stretch goal were conveniently forgotten like all the rest. edit: posting on page ((5(4))2) what does it mean???
