I used the money to pay student loans, had zero interest in wasting real money on a ship that you cannot operate solo, which a lot of space whales are now finally realizing. People paid $80 for the AMD Mustang Omega?  What rubes. Did you give copies of the AMD Letter with the ships too?https://i.imgur.com/KIXzEhM.gifv

Strangler 42 posted:Did anyone else watch Tiger King on Netflix? Then you might know why it's a bad idea to take on outside investors when you're facing financial hardships. In this scenario Chris is Joe Exotic and Calder is Jeff Lowe, where Calder will wind up with all of Chris's work after booting him from the company but the company is a money sink and a terrible investment. Maybe the he who shall not be named is Carole Baskin. Tiger King : Joe Exotic :: Bear Jester : Chris Roberts

Sarsapariller posted:I repeat: corporate decision making is far stupider than you can possibly conceive. They aren't going to pull out yet, they are making good money off of the sales that Chris tells his fans are still the main source of income for the project, and none of them, fans or investors are tech savvy enough to grasp that the game itself will never come out. They think they'll keep making a steady stream now and a big chunk when it releases. I one got to listen to the board of a multi billion dollar company deliberate on making a deal just shy of a billion dollars. I was on a panel of experts that provided advice as part of the company's due diligence, they just forgot to drop us from the call after we gave our advice. I was expecting some heated debate, some in depth analysis, some conversation about risks strategy alignment. Not all of the due diligence came up roses. Honestly i have herd more in depth discussion from drunk teens on weather its a good time to start game of beer pong. We doing it ? Yeaaaa we are doing it ! Its billion dollars ! No we can say we have done a billion dollar deal ! Yea lets wrap this deal up ! Alright! we should go out and celebrate ! Calder's is different because that seams like good money after bad

I've been in similar meetings and seen the same poo poo. The longer you live, and the more you see, the more you realize there is no such thing as an adult. We're all children, just as we get older we get better at making our whims seem important. I remember reading some fashion designer interview where they asked him questions about his childhood and he said something along the lines of "I didn't play with toys, I was interested in grown-up things" which I suspect was an attempt to make himself seem mature at a young age, despite this being a 60+ year old man using the word "grown-up" unironically. And on top of that, the motherfucker is a fashion designer - he plays dress-up for a living. He's not curing cancer or planting crops in impoverished nations. This is the box the backers sit most comfortably in, and why they want this to be a "serious sim" and not an arcade style game. We're grown-ups damnit! Look at all our disposable income!

This is my favorite card, and one of the best things ever. Question: Does Chris really code things on SC? I mean, supposedly he had his own branch where he revamped physics in some important way. Is this: (1) A total scam (2) He did something, and then the developers struggled to integrate its idiocy, praising it all the while (3) A thing that actually did something useful, but not a big deal (4) An actual manifestation of coding genius

: Chris Roberts is a successful Hollywood producer who made several titles and walked away from the scene with bulging pockets from titles like Lord of War and Lucky Number Slevin. So, you know, comparing CR to a film producer is not going to help whatever argument you're trying to make here. But of course, you're wrong anyway, CR isn't the sole owner of CIG, he's partnered with another successful film producer, Ortwin Freyermuth (also a practicing Hollywood lawyer). So he's not unchallenged here, at least ostensibly. : I love the mansion meme though, pretending Roberts didn't make 10s of millions from his Wing Commander and Privateer franchises, and the films he released as a Hollywood producer.These guys dodge facts like Neo dodges bullets in the Matrix. They just hold their hands up and the facts don't go anywhere near them.

Crobblers is a master programmer. He's been refactoring ships and physics 24/7 since 2014. Sorry that's a programmer's joke. And also, at the very thought of Crobblz even testing physics with a gamepad he barely knows how to hold properly -- which should be filmed anyway, wtf where are the bloopers in this lovely open development documentary.The Titanic posted:How many Skyrim's is this???

Lmao lucky number slevin only made like 26 million over its budget at the box office. Lord of war only made 30. The two most well-known film projects that CR was tangentially related with were mild successes at best.

I think CR is egotistical enough to actually think only he can fix the physics and really is coding away instead of running the company. Running the company is pretty boring anyway. If we assume Calders have told him to let someone else do hthe actual management then it would also make sense that he has retreated into coding. So, he is coding perhaps, but what is the result? Looks at PTU Yup, number 2.

He was not the only producer of Lord of War as i recall, there were several, so its not like he was walking away with 30 million. However, Hollywood accounting being what it is, no idea what he would have skimmed off the project overall.

Wait, wasn't there a detailed chart out there that showed his contributions added up to like negative 77million over the span of his Hollywood career after (re)factoring budgets vs gross vs advertising?

The Titanic posted:I too am looking forward to every time a player dies their wreck just stays there basically for weeks and doesn't despawn after it's flashy explosion and little particle bits fly around. It would actually be cool to have debris field after huge battles, I loved that about Total Annihilation  Of course in CI~G terms this would be mean 1v1 when one ship explodes, other then clips into its wreck and is teleported into the sun, while every player on the server gets deskeletonized

Probably. Certainly after the Kevin Costner lawsuit. Bootcha would be the one to ask. I haven't actually dug into any of that stuff because doing so would immediately destroy my brain, but what I do know is that if someone is telling me Chris Roberts made a hojillion dollars in the film industry and their evidence is "he has a producer credit on two movies that did okay" then they're dumb as poo poo. CR was one of 20 producers on Lord of War lmao
