Poor backers. They expected delays to mean a really polished (pre-alpha-lulz) patch.
Instead CIG forked their best work so far (this crap) and worked on making it playable and stable for a GamesCom demo that's painfully boring to watch.

This also means that this poo poo is getting dropped the minute they leave GamesCom.

Other games do this too (favourite store on the citadel) but why does the retail experience of the future look like a 50's junk store? Space amazon or on site microfacture ala prey would be better.

I emailed my favorite gaming podcasts (bombcast, beastcast) updates from the past thousands of posts, hopefully they cover it this week.

They get told stuff about the game all of the time, but they won't cover it until there is something more solid (mass layoffs, an official announcement). You'll have to do with the occasional joke they make about it.

Based on universal principles of reverse inverse trolling psychology, I can tell from all these SC White Knight posts about Derek getting tired that SCWK is getting super tired and hoping against hope that Derek is slowing down.

Yawn.

Calm down, big boy. There is only one build. That build is locked to daymar only on a private server. If they had people playing around and quantum jumping all over the place in the full, unlocked build, no one would see each other in the play-throughs.

You know all about completing something but locking the features, right? :smuggo:

Has AngryJoe stayed out of this poo poo until it gets released? I mean it makes sense, but he was so hopeful about the project back in the Kickstarter days....

Anyway last year Shitizens were asking him to do another SC video after the excitement from the fake GamesCom demo and the glitchy sand worm one.

I am thinking it would be more fitting to his persona to do one now -- and before the new fake thing they are going to dangle in front of their cash cows -- about the embarrassing and disappointing state of this project.

What I want(ed)? I don't really know... It's odd.

It's easier for me to explain when I realized I didn't want to play E:D anymore. It was when I realized that nothing I did in the game had any impact on anything whatsoever. It became a grind for money and rank (exploration/trading/combat).

The "storylines" in the game moved on, whether I participated or not. Engineers was an ok idea, but was just more grind, same goes for factions.

Looking back, I got caught up in the buzz - like so many SC backers today. In a lot ways I understand them, but IMHO sunk cost fallacy will never make SC playable.

I don't regret spending the money, but I wouldn't do it again. It was an awesome journey, and I don't think the game is a bad game - it's just not for me.

Yeah it's a lot of money, but to me it's all about prioritizing. I'm by no means a rich guy, I have a crappy middle income job, but I simply prioritize. Some people spend $2800 to buy a car, some people buy a horse, some spend it on tickle porn and coke, some spend it on avatars on a crappy comedy forum - I spent it on E:D.

poo poo dude, you don't need to justify how you spend your money. I spent $110 on part of an old man's record collection a few days ago. (I got an early 90s Technics component stereo system and a pair of koss tower speakers for under $50 though so it's all good) Incidentally auctions can make you do stupid things with money.

Hey MOMA, you should tell Sandy to auction off the right to participate in the next sale. Highest bidders get in, everyone else kicks sand. See how much they really support her. I mean Chris.

That was a bullshit back then, just as much as it is now. Even when I still supported the project, I never believed secret builds were a thing. Its just soo loving counter intuitive.

Hey guys, for the Gamescom build, can we just go ahead and turn off orbital physics, collisions, missions, the ability to fly into space, mining, exploring, AI, NPC's, shopping, cargo, all the other planets and moons, working doors, character customization, bullets that can wound, spaceships you don't clip through, stamina, and fun? Yeah just flip it to the "off" position in the config file. Yeah. Yeah they should all say "false" now.

Oh, and and turn on the 10km x 10km bounding box, packing peanut flight model physics, frequent crashes, and reduced visibility cockpits. Yeah, build it. Yeah great! this is looking good!
