More than 200k $ spent to make a pizza from spaceship models. They could launch some better CubeSat (or several) into actual space for that kind of money.

Megalobster posted:Uhrman, like Chris, is a case study of failing upwards. Remember that Carlin bit about finding out how stupid the average person is by thinking about the average stupid people you know and realizing half of them are stupider than that? Well, even the stupid half has money. It's just a matter of being just smart enough to take advantage of them, while being not quite smart enough to realize you don't know what you're doing. (Or being a psychopath - that works too.) And of course the biggest and least talked about factor: luck. It's nearly impossible to predict which subculture's particular brand of brain worms will pry their wallet open - you kind of have to just fall into it. If money went to the person who actually caused it to be spent than Lesnick would have at least half of what CIG has taken in. He had the brain worms in question and helped tailor the narrative specifically to it.

Megalobster posted:That people like that keep getting high paying jobs is mind blowing. I’ve had my mind blown since Polly Peck and the privatization of Group Four security, but it’s really not that unusual, it’s just that most people are worried about their appearance to other people. Most want to be considered honest and good people. The power move is being completely dishonest and simply telling people what they want to hear, which is a common thread in these projects. It’s literally one of my earliest indicators that Star Citizen was probably not coming out, because they were simply waving through concepts that have either disappeared or backburnered into oblivion. The main concept that these guys exploit is that you can’t be faulted for trying. Which is vaguely different to knowing what you’re doing and producing a product. Of course the funding model means that all the money was given up front, which breaks the normal commerce model and ‘fitness for purpose’. Star Citizen is literally a pig in a poke scam. And it’s endemic. Right now there are 3-4 companies getting millions for PPE that they’ll never actually supply, hundreds of little scammers working to rob people of cash, and very little in the way of enforcement or restitution apart from ‘caveat emptor’.

Trilobite posted:Also, as revealed in an earlier interview, Chris's biggest frustration as a manager is that sometimes when he tells a so-called "expert" to do something, that person gives him a long list of reasons why "it can't be done." And obviously, the only reason they keep saying that to him is because they don't know as much as he does and just want to tell him no, when they should be carefully watching his hands move around as he explains what he wants and then going and making it happen. This is an amazing comment and I love it.

These backers are always my favorite, because I feel like they are the people still funding the game constantly. Their concept of playing the game amounts to pretending to play the game, or pretending to be somebody important in the game. It's why they don't try to do anything in it. They go land in a circle and don't engage in any gameplay or things to do. It's basically just a high detailed chat room; if they even used the game to chat in instead of something like discord or somewhere else to go role play. But those are the guys funding it. So I hope they had fun.

I do want Star Citizen to be good (  it won't be) but is it wrong that i sometimes want SC to spectacularly fail just so i can see the meltowns of super whales like these crazies?

SpitefulHammer posted:This is exactly what people were saying about Radiant AI in Oblivion pre-release, we all know how that turned out. It's interesting because the idea that AI and procedural generation could create content that rivals good hand-crafted content is probably the holy grail of video games. Yeah there's definitely been good procedural stuff out there, but nothing like what some of these cig dreamers envision. I don't imagine we'll get anything like that for a long, long time. And I don't see how a sexy bear would be the one to get us there.

“Legatus Executive Regatta” We’re better than everyone because we each spent over $27,000 on video game spaceships in a failed crowdfunded pre-alpha. Thanks Chris and Sandi for giving us the amazing opportunity to throw our money at you, so you can live a lavish life pretending to be entertainment big wigs in LA. Jorunn is the loving king of the game dad whales keeping this mess afloat. He has not a single shred of self-awareness or self-respect. 20 years from now he’ll still be mailing cash to Chris’ retirement mansion in the Cayman Islands.

We'd like you to go to -New Reno- And deliver this -stolen goods- of -corn- to one of our people there. You will be paid -acceptably- since you are wearing -average looking- clothing and smell -like an rear end in a top hat-. Also be sure to get a drink on your way out because you look -very thirsty-.
