I don't understand why Loiosh is remembered so fondly.

Despite his friendly demeanor he was first and foremost a massive equivocator. More often than not if someone had a reasonable point that conflicted with his reality he'd just dance around or outright ignore it.

I found this frustrating as well, and attempted to call him out on his walls of text and he got pretty offended by it. I think he is missed because even though he'd do that, he wouldn't pretend to be an expert like Octopode or just be a shithead like Karl. He didn't double down on his position, he just quietly slunk away.

I really think they have it tied into their page view counter.

Every time someone goes to the ships section of the store it just assumes that person wants to buy every one of those ships and adds that sum to the income counter.

The thing is that Loiosh was the most sanr Pro-SC person itt that regularly posted for a time. Sure he had some questionable opinions on progress and he was optimistic of SC releasing which is cool, but its not like he was a pedophile, an idiotic German auditor's not-wife, or an OPSEC janitor that cant even shitpost properly.

28th I think. I don't know why I thought it started today. I guess because they emailed it to me today.

I hold a position similar to him, that is even if most of CIG management are bumbling,unqualified idiots i still hope for a fun game to come out once the dumpster fire cool down.

Lucky for me i'm not really pasionate about it but i can understand defending such position from Mr. Smart constant "Wait for it to blow.. Sooonnn .. Two weeks !.. Wait fot it..." Could get tiresome quickly.

But nobody should give CIG more than what they would pay for a collector edition of a AAA game. Doing otherwise only encourage them to come up with more and more devious schemes to separate you from your money. The only way for SC to be released is to stop giving money to CIG.

If someone has a key and hasn't signed up yet one of the steps is to email friends. Weirdly it looks like the option goes away once you complete signup.

See, this is pretty reasonable. It's a shame that PGabz, Beer, Melkor, Eonwe, Lowtax, a neurotic jew, or somebody else will be along soon to ban you or make it so nobody can read your post without clicking on it.

No, i dont think so. Many games have a pretty big artist/coder ratio if you include all the sound, level design, texture, animation, background and text.

i think they hosed because Crobizzle accepted a deal with the devil in the very begining, that is letting the Cryteck produce his kickstarter demo in exchange of using the engine. It saved him a lot of work, but once the dotted line was signed they where stuck with a game engine rarely used for anything beside 3D FPS.
