"What are people talking about, what could he have said that was-" Yeah, no, gently caress Agony Aunt for being casually racist (multiple times) even if it was "old timey British slang". And to bring it back to Star Citizen chat: So has Croberts/CIG decided to... "grace" their devout followers with any special holiday bundles? Maybe a FOMO limited-time festive Idris decked out in red, green and silver paint, for the low, low cost of all of your income for the next year?

cock colloquialism is a very, very generous term for what kind of lazy racist poo poo he was warned about and basically went down the "no, it is the wokes who are wrong" style self-immolation like c'mon, especially when casual asian racism and violence against asian people was soaring at the time

Oh, gently caress, was I supposed to do that? poo poo, I think we got rid of the Eeyore stuffed animal along with the rest of my mom's old stuffed animals. Do you accept any other forms of animal picture? Perhaps a photo of a cute cat (who is also an rear end)?

Dear Mr. Pisscat Certain sections of the gaming community you mentioned view SC as a joke, because ALL sections of the gaming community view SC as a joke. People also view Starfield as a very lackluster game. Starfield being bland doesn't make SC good.

Pointing at the latest Call of Duty and saying "see this is what you get with AAA studios these days" well completely ignoring Baldurs Gate 3 and the dozens of great games being released every year. Citizens are obsessed with an outdated idea that gaming is stagnant and it's just so far from the reality that we have more/better gaming options than ever before.

That's not really just a Citizen affliction, unfortunately. I regularly run into people who bemoan "AAA gaming" but whatever they actually like that's in that space has an excuse for why it doesn't count.

When the highest selling video game series of all time are routinely put out by EA or Activision, et. al. it is funny to hear when people complain about those publishers while also buying those games themselves and then putting +400 hours into it and an additional $200 in microtransactions. Steam yelling you how many hours a reviewer has is like twitter’s community notes. dialhforhero fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Dec 23, 2023 |

developer only responsible to their community of gamers *rents lavish offices with overpriced artsy furniture, custom made doors, extra expensive coffee makers, finances the owners' luxurious lifestyle with yacht trips, a big mansion and a collection of Porsches before even a tiny fraction of the content they "sold" ever shipped* not like those filthy AAA publishers who only care about the money of their C-suite and major shareholders, no Sir

There was a time when they were, at the very least, embarrassed enough into lying about the custom door, that it was a cheapie job, don't worry. And then they realised the citizens don't care, they love being ripped off, and will turn on you if you point out they're being ripped off. Now it's just eat poo poo, citizen cucks, give us money, we'll piss it up the wall, what are you going to do about it. It's a fairly simple reinforced bad behaviour ---> predictable outcomes situation.

In the beginning they actually tried to hide it. The trips and first class family vacations. The door. Now they keep renting new posh office space, backers don't care, in fact they excuse it because Chris deserves it, he's such a great guy!

given the past plywood doors, yachts in monaco, porches etc that we all knew of from social media imagine what and how much they've spent on backer funds since then, but they finally learned not to post everything on social media? of course that will pale in comparison to the literal kings random they've all taken home in salaries , bonuses, and financial pat's on the back

cat posted:Starfield is a perfect example of what happens when a gaming community gives a game developer billions of dollars over decades and that company prioritises the shareholders instead of it's gaming community, a gaming community who give their free time and effort to significantly improve upon Bethesda's product and this increases Bethesda's revenue. There is nothing more threatening to the 'money men' than mavericks who cut them out of the loop and in so doing give them a level of competition in players' gaming experience that they won't invest in to match. What Bethesda couldn't do with billions of dollars per year revenues Cloud Imperium Games did with an average $35 Million per year turnover - and CIG ran a live game service as well for 4 years with that money. I love that pisscat lives in a world in his head where Bethesda spent billions of dollars to make Starfield over decades even though it had a production that started in 2013 and apparently cost them $200 million in production (which ramped up in earnest in 2019/2020). By cat's own math, that's $28 million a year (although it likely wasn't distributed that way). Billions. Feh. It makes sense I guess, pisscat looked at Wing Commander 1 and asked crobberts "how much would it cost to make that today?" and crobberts looked down and said "We can’t, we don’t know how to do it."

It's standard Citizen maths: a game's development always counts form the first day someone had an idea about a game, or the first time the underlying engine is used — whichever is farther back. The right to count from the day any actual effort or cash was put down for a team that actually had as its objective to make that game is reserved for CI¬G, and obviously, every time the game gets redefined, that date gets reset forward. Hence why Elite Dangerous has been in development since the early '80s, and Starfield goes back to the '90s at the very least. But SC only begun its development in $CURRENTYEAR-2 (as opposed to the '70s when Chris first dreamed of a space game, or late '90s when the seeds of the engine first saw the light of day).

These rationales on metrics and dev cycles reminds me of Robert McNamara and how body count justified involvement and the idea of “winning” in the Vietnam War.

It wasn't very impressive sure but it didn't outright make me uninstall the game like SC after I had first failed to eat a burrito after several attempts, then fell off a platform I was trying to land on but the entry point was juuuuust shy of viable ground.

I actually don't necessarily disagree with this argument, the problem is that in Star Citizens case, it has completely cut out any accountability, financial supporters are left up poo poo creek over a game that is going to forever be in pre-alpha development with nothing to show for it.

Maybe this is why they’re taking so long on the price change on sq42. You’ll be able to buy different levels of game quality. An all-star cast deserves an all-star price after all. If you upgrade to the Legatus sq42 package you’ll have Hamill, Anderson, Parpman etc. if you only pay $45 you’ll get a performances by Ben Lesnick, Carrot Top, and random programmer reading lines off the script in alphabetical order.
