And I can't prove it but I'm gonna say they trend fatter too

I think I don't really want games to come out anymore. I just want a yearly hype video, and every three months or so some blurb about how they're introducing caves into the game or something. Actually having stuff come out is really dating you as a person. Only boomers "expect results". Don't be a near-dead FUD-dy Duddy. Live forever, like me, and enjoy nothing coming out forever like some kind of sick twilight zone episode. Hell, I've been waiting to see New York for at least 109 years, but I'm waiting for it to be the best New York ever. I don't want a half-built poo poo tier New York like EA built.

Good for the backers to have patience (they need it) but they are asking the wrong questions. The big one is not how long do you have left but how long does Chris have?. If you kick the bucket then that's a drat shame, the game has lost a revenue stream but if Chris checks out then his vision is kaput. What I'm trying to say is that they should start some sort of fund to ensure the well-being of Chris. A few millions a year ensuring that he's in good shape will go a long way over the decades to come.

Chris has, is, and will continue to deliver exactly what the backers want: their dream game, with an emphasis on the "dream" part. As long as they can continue to pay-to-dream they'll continue to do so. If you see it that way then Chris has undeniably being a blessing, not a curse. Delivering the game is the worst thing that could happen to everybody involved.

Sanya Juutilainen posted:https://twitter.com/stalker_thegame/status/1471620399997886472 Bullying works!!!! BTW, the now-deleted reasoning they gave for why they wanted to have NFTs in the game is very illuminating: https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/16/22840383/stalker-2-developer-explain-nfts-gsc-game-world-deleted-tweet Mostly it begs the question... If you need funding, and you want to do it through selling NPC likenesses in the game, then why wouldn't you just use Kickstarter???? Or wait not Kickstarter because they're moving onto the blockchain. For... Some reason. But like any other funding site. Or just sell the slots directly. Whatever!

commando in tophat posted:Is the blockchain just the new "cloud"? I mean, except more stupid The technology itself is pretty interesting, but extremely inefficient at scale. The real money is in the buzzwords that come out of it - NFT, cryptocurrency, Web 3.0, etc. It sounds a lot like the chat in the dotbomb era when you could say "website" and people would throw money at you. Any game dev that has an earnings call this year is definitely going to be asked about what it is doing with NFTs by investors who have no idea what they're talking about, and the dev will have to at least pretend they have a strategy despite also not knowing what they're talking about. Though NFTs did give us the "right-clicker" pejorative, which always makes me giggle, so at least that's on positive.

Isn't the Epic Games store just a steam clone? Why would they need to use it at all with their own in-house lovely as gently caress launcher? How is it mal-ware and what's the big deal, aside from them obviously making a back-door deal with Epic Games and not telling the backers about it Surprise of surprise just before Christmas!

EOS means Epic Online Services. The overlay thing doesn't necessarily mean anything in and of itself, but you can indeed implement Easy Anti Cheat with EOS. From context, presumably that is what CIG is doing. A lot of games on Steam have EOS in them, even single-player games. Idk if EOS is used to harvest data but it's kind of silly for commandos to worry about it. CIG doesn't seem like it'd be shy about harvesting your data directly.

Dwesa posted:It doesn't matter whether it comes out, hardcore whale will praise it for its 'ambition' and 'potential' regardless of the result and facts. They're one step ahead of that. The true believers started hedging their bets like 3-4 years ago with talk about how they were "just happy to be part of this ambitious project". Yes, that's exactly how I'd feel about a guy in an LA mansion purchased with my money when I'm 20k in the hole. A totally reasonable conclusion.
