Followed up shortly afterwards with...

quote:

Star citizen. 2 minutes in and I turned it off in disgust. £200m seems to have been spent on making choosing how to invert your Y axis as complicated as possible.

There isn't an invert Y button, there are literally 50+ different toggles for inversion of everything, across all possible concurrent control schemes (mouse, joystick, keyboard, gamepad). Each of them is a compounded tree where you can select inversion for FPS mode, flight mode, hangar mode, turret mode, ground vehicle mode, free look mode, walking mode and some other modes. Select inversion for any of those modes and it inverts everything. X axis too... So you have to drill down into each and invert the Y axis for each mode individually, but it's not called Y axis, it's called pitch, or view, or something else dependent on the mode you are in. And you have to repeat the same exercise for each control method.
So I did all that, took ages, game crashed coming out of the control menu and starting it up again it has lost all the settings...
So I do it all again, get it setup right. Didn't crash this time! Start the game by going into my hangar... the x axis is inverted, even though I told it not to be...

Turned off the game and gave up, what a load of poo poo.

That would be stupid even for them. I think it's more likely that the servers were just completely unequipped to handle the modest load of all of their normal players trying to log in at once. Especially funny given that it's 10am, so they probably have some kind of pre-scheduled ramp up for later this evening when they expected the interest to hit.

Those servers, being the front face of the lie Chris has told for years now in order to steal money he hasn't earned, don't go down often. They haven't gone down during previous free-fly weekends. That's where fresh pledge cash comes in from, too. There's no higher priority at CIG than those servers being up, lying about the state of the game, 24/7. It's odd they've been unresponsive for this long. It's probably what you say, they were dramatically unprepared, but we're also not dealing with honest people here. They've been telling bald-faced lies for the better part of a decade now and been thanked for it.

The whole premise of this being avoidable is flawed. Star Citizen is not an MMO. Its jsut a bunch of 50player fps servers then reddit closes their eyes and pretends that this will all be a single shard game one day.
