They know that. They are using very standard conservative media tactics for bad PR because that's what they have been immersed in

* Question the source, not the statement. No matter how obviously true it is, make sure the argument is about whether or not the person saying it can be "Fully trusted." You can make the fact that the sky is blue seem doubtful, if you somehow paint the picture that the guy claiming it is a pedophile.

* Never tie multiple instances together. Each new bad story is an isolated incident with no connection to anything else. If you do have to refer to an old story, hand-wave at it as a hit piece by angry media that hates (thing X) and wants (thing X) to fail.

* If you can find even one fact to dispute, the whole story is a lie made up by the angry journalists. The dispute does not have to make sense.

* As soon as possible, pivot off of the negative story to the latest big positive spin. Keep trying this until it sticks and the narrative shifts.

or: just send your minions out to defend you. so your company does not have to take a stance.
(which is already a sign of a dysfunctional company)
if your minions dont want to do that, fire them.
if your minions are prooved wrong, its their problem.

its a sign of a company that does not protect its employees but sacrifices them if needed and thats sad.
but as long as the backers approve lets just lol @ cig.

It's like an experiment in "There is no such thing as bad press" taken to extremes. They really are pushing the boundaries of bullshit.

The impressive part is that so far they are getting away with it because of idiot whales and the fog of war that prevents actual accounts of the dumbfuckery.

You probably know this and are joking, but if not, while the n64 had a 64-bit processor it used 32-bit busses and would generally just perform 32-bit operations because they'd be much faster as a result.

It was mostly marketing, like "blast processing".

I tried explaining this to a friend once, but I had a hard time articulating it in terms he could understand. He wasn’t a programming/hardware guy. Also, maybe I’m just bad at it.

I love this. "Ship to ship docking," meaning one ship, the Merlin, and one other ship, the Constellation. And nothing else. Also "Vehicle names" meaning one vehicle, the 600i, and nothing else. Star Citizen's got it all! ...in very small quantities!

Cradle of Humanity is an expansion for X4 if thats what you're talking about.

I didn't pick up X3 until after Terrain Conflict got released and didn't play a lot until after Albion Prelude because the situations was much the same: the expansions really improved on the base game, and in retrospect the expansions felt necessary

But at least Egosoft knew they should hey put out a working base game to build on. It may not be everyone feature they were capable of developing and may not be everything they wanted to add, but releasing a working base keeps players engaged until polish and dream features can come

Yes, of course we will listen to the man that has probably spent $100k USD by now on this video game, and the other man who seemingly does nothing but organize get-togethers and otherwise cheerlead said game 24/7

They are most assuredly a totally unbiased and grounded viewpoint in the debate on if a video game developer is treating their employees well or not.
