  Thanks for your effort Fraser, but I think we'll all wait for Joe Blobbers to tell us what's really going on! Now, this should be the top comment here, pinned to the top. With Joe's answer of course, for i for one am very curious about the real facts.

PC Gamer continues the hard reporting by referring to them as "Star Citizen Players" as if the game is out and works, and talks about their "roadmap" unironically as if it's not a lie from stem to stern. Keep at it, PC Gamer. I consider you complicit in this incredible grift. How much is Chris paying you to look the other way?

Guys, I just think that at this time we should maybe go out of our way to be nice to CIG employees. I can only imagine how depressing it must be to have to work from home and not have a space door.....

I wonder what the breakdown is among the devs, like they have 600 people, and they can't possibly all be incompetent, right? How many people got jobs there knowing they would never have to produce a functional product while collecting a paycheck? Or maybe they really are true believers? Are there any stories of people quitting once they see the shitshow for themselves? Seems like you could easily grift the grifters here...

Are there any stories of people quitting once they see the shitshow for themselves? It only takes one incompetent person with veto power to invalidate the work of a thousand competent ones. Those competent ones then shrug, do as they're told, and continue drawing a paycheque while doing what they're told instead of what they know they should be doing. They get paid either way, so why fight it too hard?

I hope in the next 6 months that CI¬G release at least one gameplay loop. It can't be easy being a backer for 8 years and seeing elevator control panels as a big update. It's a real shame about all this, I feel terrible for all involved. One can't help but feel that people should hold Chris's feet to the fire, what a horrible state of affairs all round, what with decent reedit folk getting shafted with every roadmap update, and us lot pointing and laughing. It must be tough being a backer, I am on their side from now on, I feel great empathy with them, it sucks to be bitchslapped consistently like this, week after week, month after month, year after year. It's a real shame.

It took CD Project red 5 years to complete ONE GAME, this is why it's fine that after 8 years CI¬G have got a game to a state where it is a few years away from Beta There is literally nothing wrong with development of Star ctiaszernb as you can see

I maintain Sandi's exit to be the harbinger of the end times. Considering that she made a hard exit (divorce) rather than just wandering off indicates to me that good times are coming. She's taking extra steps to distance herself from this as much as humanly possible. That or even she could tell that the drooling incompetent moron who "helms" CIG wasn't going to be her gravy train for much longer. That interview where she eviscerates him for the backers ... brutal.

Life is WEIRD right now, and in these uncertain times it's good to have a constant like star catatznern No matter how much the world outside burns, it's nice to know this AAAA game continues on track, on time and on budget. I am sure you'll join all us proud backers is applauding the dedication of Chris, Sandi and raise a glass to their continued success in saving PC gaming.

Considering that she made a hard exit (divorce) rather than just wandering off indicates to me that good times are coming. She's taking extra steps to distance herself from this as much as humanly possible. There's some timing that's odd. Of the "This wasn't supposed to happen this way" flavor. 2019 has one Sandi appearance in Jan, with CR and the matching Karthu racing shirts. Then in May 2019, Mr. Elliot comes in PWE and takes Sandi's position as VP of Marketing. Sandi is then seen in the UK filings as "Appointment of Sandi Roberts as a director on 1 June 2019". We don't see or hear of Sandi past that for the rest of the year, outside of one unverifiable anecdote that she was at an acting/movement class and a backer recognized her (reddit post deleted). Nearly a year later, we're looking at the possibility that both Sandi and Chris repeat the cycle of their relationship, going their own ways. It feels like Sandi was pointed out as a weak spot by Daniel O'connell Offner after his analysis of CIG was done, and the Calder bloc insisted that changes needed to be made for there to by any other money down the line. CR probably fought this because he felt he needed to, but at the end negotiated a demotion upstairs for Sandi to a directorship on the board. It's possible that the directorship role makes less money overall than what she made as VP of Marketing, but 2019 accounts haven't been filed yet so we don't know. If I were to guess, Sandi felt betrayed by Chris, because she was removed by both him and the Calders from benefiting from the Calder injection. And that triggered the next part of the Sandi/Chris relationship cycle. As for Chris, what I think he's feeling in between the vice? Just more weight, for all it matters. Zazz Razzamatazz posted:Wait, is that confirmed? We have one very circumstantial shred of evidence in CR not wearing his ring on the last Pillar Talk which ever since the beginning of the project he has worn. We also have the history of Chris/Sandi's relationship repeating in cycles. At this point, it's a guess, but given history and what we're seeing at CIG, it's not out of the question.

She's taking extra steps to distance herself from this as much as humanly possible. It could definitely mean that she saw the money drying up. It was always hard to believe the funding tracker, but now with it pointing to a record year of JPEG sales in the midst of an economic meltdown, it can’t at all be real. Someone on the refunds sub looked into their LinkedIn job postings and found that they now have 427 openings, but they keep claiming that they have “over 600” employees. Then there’s progress on the game which has ground to an absolute and pathetic trickle even by CIG’s own sad standards. I’m not stupid enough to say “90 days tops!” because this mess has defied all logic for over 8 years now, but something is happening behind the scenes.

Who decides that a nascent development company would be best served by going through the herculean task of delivering not one but two huge never before done games at the same time? A total and complete idiot that's who.

I bet good money they are using the "divorce" to protect all of the cash that has somehow ended up with her as part of the settlement. Once a thief always a thief.

It's nice to know, in these uncertain times, that there are certain things that are reliable and immutable, such as Chris Roberts being unable to make a game. Certainty about some things being permanently anchored in reality provides a much-needed support pillar in these trying times.

MassivelyOP: Here’s a visual guide to the features that have been removed from Star Citizen alpha 3.9quote:To be fair, alpha 3.9 of Star Citizen is still bringing a fair number of things to the sandbox side of the game, but when you put what is confirmed to be coming against what was originally planned, the contrast is pretty stark.
