I’ve long thought that the SC whales have had a very MAGA-esque outlook to their golden calf, albeit, to their credit, not necessarily with the same garbagy outlook on progressive issues, just a garbagy outlook on their home economy. Goddamnit I hate being the sniper.

Sandweed posted:SC and Q have that in common, the believers just need to have faith and then everything will be fixed by some 3rd party and then everyone who doubted you will be so sorry and your kids will have to talk to you again. This desire to see doubters humiliated seems to be a big thing among "those people". It was one of the favourite lines backers told each other, goons and friends who did not understand and stupid game journalists would have to "eat crow" when Chris and CIG came through and brought a new age, the fruits of which only the faithful would enjoy. I suspect many a backer is a slightly evil person.

Oh they have PLENTY of garbagey outlooks on progressive issues. Just look at what happens when someone asks if there will be an option to have rainbow paint schemes on ships, or if anyone is interested in setting up an LGBTQ-friendly bar on some planet. And that’s just one progressive issue, to say nothing of the crass dismissal (as lazy poors) of people who see $10k as an irresponsible amount to spend on a nonfunctional video game.

Someone should go suggest that instead of spending thousands of dollars for a fake spaceship in a game that doesn't work, they should instead donate the money to some nonprofit or even the government in order to help fund the development of actual space exploration and scientific research. Be sure to throw in that just giving money to CIG is just lining a business' profitline and isn't actually helping people in the real world. That'd be some good content.

Easy - all whale backers are already philanthropists, isn’t that evident because of how generous their donations (NOT SALES) have been ?? Surely the type of person that would donate 10s of thousands to a fledgling video game developer company would also support the world in which they live

This is why I genuinely hope the game comes out and lives up to all the ridiculous promises and such, the game backers and cultists have always dreamed of. As bad as the game is now, it's nowhere near as miserable as the final intended experience. It will be so satisfying to play the final version of the game and it's exactly as lovely as it sounded on paper all along. The only people who could enjoy it have already been paying for it for a decade, everything about the game design would be completely unappealing to general public and gamers. Nobody normal could put up with the game they're trying to make.

CInG aims to deliver four major patches per year, one per quarter (1Q, 2Q, 3Q, 4Q). Planning month runs from January to November. Panic month starts in December. In late December, usually late on the last Friday before Christmas, the 1Q patch from three years ago is delayed into the following year and becomes the 1Q patch from four years ago. This is fine.

Ol’ Musky getting caught up in the hype of SC as some sort of big STEM Lord futurism project and buying CIG, only to find out that the only thing he actually owned is a bunch of Full Sail grads and a broken Crysis mod, would be the ultimate comedy.

When you can't get the actual work done, you have to go to a lot of meetings to explain why the work isn't done "yet." After a while, preparing excuses and explanations for those meetings becomes the work, because it's the one task that you absolutely will be punished for failing to do.

It's a good idea. If enough citizens, who overlap with crypto/elon fandom were to cry out for Elon to 'save' PC gaming by rescuing this project, the pieces would line up nicely. Elon would struggle to resist 'saving' another company, Elon would welcome a public distraction from the Twitter dumpster fire, and Chris would probably not hate the idea of making some money from a willing bag-holder. All it would take would be some seeding of the idea in the right hives of scum and villainy, and a lot of disingenuous flattery of Elon "Mr. Musk, please do for CIG what you did for Twitter and save PC gaming!" Maybe I'm crazy, but it feels eerily plausible. Elon does things impulsively without looking too closely at them. It's too easy to see him falling for it and impulsively tweeting some promise that he would then be contractually obligated by his ego to follow through on. And CIG would be cheap compared to Twitter.
