Having a washed-up porn actress treat you like an rear end in a top hat for giving her money is only one of many services that CIG offers

Just listened to the end of Derek's part of the stream. Nothing new we haven't heard. Derek's VPN, that he's stated he always uses, is dropping UDP packets. One of the idiots on the stream wanted to ask Derek about whether traps are gay, at the very end of the stream. :wtf:

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
I think the reason citizens like CRoberts so much is that he will just let any old promise spew out of his mouth without a care. Anything they can dream up he will just agree to, no problem. Luckily there is also chief citizen BLesnick who has this gift as well. So whenever you want a reality check because something CRoberts agreed to is just edging on the limit of believableness you can quickly get Ben to agree with it, or even better, expand on it.

So did the two simpering snot nosed flakes actually ask the question "Why does a supposedly cash rich company need a loan as an advance to its tax rebate anyway?".

Or did they just go full 'cuckolded at home constantly' beta males and not bother actually doing any thinking outside of "CIG are good, CIG are great, why would Ortwin lie?".

(There may be some hostility in the above due to my complete disgust of wimpy, obviously submissive blokes pretending to have authority, get a room girls ffs)

(Also the grovellingly apologetic attitudes and the 'blame those who ask questions' thing pissed me off too)

(I'm just in a bad mood today)

Does that guy realise that anyone can download Lumberyard and make a game with it? There is no loving deal, CIG just downloaded from the Amazon site and stuck their CE assets into it.

gently caress, even I've got a copy of Lumberyard on my hdd. :shrug: Does Amazon owe me money now? lol.

- CIG: YES

Insurmountable engineering debt:
- Frontier: NO
- CIG: YES


Job done!

PS. 3.0 out two weeks ago, last week, this week, next week, next month, hopefully before December 19th 2017, tick tock.

Cognitive dissonance, the thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/6kodwk/cig_please_dont_become_like_frontierdev/



200 replies in 4 hours because, let's face it, the game is about spending money and nothing else.

and even just a standard nameplate (& fonts ffs) are all sold in their store to nickle and dime the playerbase to the point where people not only expect the next minor cosmetic alterations to be sold, they are actively asking for things to be sold instead of, you know, just having them available for unlocks in the actual game itself.

CIG already sells Warbond only serial numbers and the backers eat it up :ironicat:
