I also love how the pledge store is so complex. There are derative and options trading firms who have more straightforward transactions.

The current outrage over the CCU change appears to be a whole community who derive joy by buy buying chains of JPEGs in a certain order to some how milk a few dollars of discounts on outrageously priced macro transactions.

Spending thousands of dollars on false hope is not some how an investment strategy because you got 10 dollar discount.

I enjoyed it, I always like seeing CIG's idiocy laid bare. And I never miss an opportunity to declare solidarity with a fellow ASL player.

Unfortunately new drama is much less common these days than previously, we really do need a new Crobblers intervention wherein he makes a colossal tit of himself as usual.

It is a shame there's no definitive list, but frankly at this point it would be 100 pages long and there'd still be stuff left out, because the main principle with Store Citizer, as is often quoted here, is "There's always more, and it's always worse".

One thing I always thought funny was the secret investment from those extra special backers the Calders - it was just a vile piece of FUD until suddenly it wasn't, at which point the citizenry pivoted in their entirety and proclaimed it the greatest thing ever and of course they always knew it was going to happen.

In any case, I'd be uncertain as to the best way to catalogue the whole sorry saga - would it be better as simple chronological list (including the work CryEngine did for free on the KS demo in return for Crobblers using CryEngine) or would a categorised list be funnier, i.e. More Massive CIG Self Owns, Chris Puts His Foot In It (Again), etc.?

EDIT: PS this is funny

Calders money was sold to backers as money for marketing sq404 (or maybe backers invented this as an excuse?). It was rationalized by that obviously when :iiasb: said all pledges go to development, they need some other money for marketing. Or maybe I remember wrong, it's hard to tell

Yep that was the opening play but it was chucked into the oubliette at some point along the way and rots there to this day. The narrative quietly shifted I think when CIG's accounts showed what a parlous state their finances had been in when the investment was made and that ackshully the money had always been earmarked for keeping the lights on AND THAT'S GOOD FOR STAR CITIZEN, but as you say it's hard to keep across all this stuff through the tears of mirth.

Was there even any marketing for SQ54 (after that investment)? I remember only some 'visual teaser' with ship rotating in model viewer and T-posing vanduuls and that was years ago :flaccid:

LOL no of course not, they were too busy paying themselves with it.

This article from Variety at the end of 2018 has some interesting detail in it for any would-be chroniclers of this ongoing shitshow.

The one sq404 "demo" they showed a few years back was this convoluted mission where it ended up turning into a rescue mission to save a female pilot from pirates or something. Because naturally women weak, man strong, is the best way to get a good demo out the door that appeals to everyone.

Naturally you roll up to it and she's tied and beaten in the space ship and you get to rescue the damsel in distress. Because the other thing people like in your one demo you show of the game is some good women torture scenes. That makes your game awesome.



Naturally a scene like this sets off a variety of emotions in your citizens. None of which are the good kind, but rather the sort where they are planning to do this kind of thing in star citizen the mmo and a variety of torture mechanics are now spawned.

Considering that SC's audience doesn't seem to have advanced since 2002-ish, this is brilliant marketing actually :colbert:

Seriously though, was this pre- or post- Stimpire? Because if it is the latter, that's all kinds of disturbing that they decided to go through with it anyway.

Hey wow, I had no idea about this. I thought the only thing they showed about Squadron was that stupid "Morrow Tour" bit, unless this was part of that?
