I've felt for a while now that Frontier are at the point where they can add stuff pretty much at will, it's their own engine and they have a few years under their belts now. It would be really interesting to see a side by side checklist of bullshit CIG promised vs stuff that's trickling into Elite for real.

peter gabriel posted:Holy poo poo this live stream is brutal, Frontier aren't dicking around It's loving savage. This is SC getting curbstomped in every way by the apparent underdog that is in fact, far better in every way. The only analogy to this overwhelming show of force I can think of is if you hypothetically put someone pathetic, like Fuzzymodem, into a prison as an inmate and tell the regular inmates that he is a pedo or something. Yeah, I think that would be a similar lopsided event

The only way Chris can combat this is to promise even more ridiculous bullshit, so this could be a win win situation

Even better, the way Elite does multicrew is basically drop-in co-op. Something promised and then dropped from SQ42 features

one argument right now is "but elite isn't like real life, star citizen is" these people are broken and deserve to get all their money taken in two years they can look back on some of my posts and go "but why didn't he ACTUALLY SAY this project is hosed??"

Looks like in response to FDev's savage beatdown CIG is getting ready to plop Spectrum down in the bowl: Will Leverett. Bault and others at Turbulent in a "meeting" just now  https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/5u238i/will_leverett_bault_and_others_at_turbulent_in_a/ Bonus comedy from the comments:

Spectrum : Our echo chamber was not echo enough, so we took your money to build a better, more echo chamber where only those already onboard can talk to others about the fun of being onboard.

I think all the spectrum poo poo is based on chris not liking the ingame chat box on stream. It was clearly the first time he ever used it.

Who can face that kind of power?

Waiting for the following twatter announcement: "Chris Roberts will be taking a break for a few weeks not months from games development to nurse his devastated arsehole." ----------------- And their best response to Elite's curbstomping is their Archered version of Discord? gently caress this is all going fanfuckingtastically  ELE now in progress? Finally?

TheAgent posted:in two years they can look back on some of my posts and go "but why didn't he ACTUALLY SAY this project is hosed??" All I'm worried about is CIG closing and r/dereksmart disappearing. I hate reddit and generally avoid it but can easily imagine having a couple of days enjoyment out of quoting old posts of idiots back to said idiots there. Is there is an historical record somewhere of their archiving efforts if/when they throw a tantrum about Derek being right and wipe it? Someone of them will delete their reddit accounts but I'm betting most won't so I want to remind them how loving dumb they are whenever I'm bored.

So this isn't something new, anyone that's worked for companies like CIG or for projects like SC can see the similarities. But instead of some huge company like Microsoft shelling out millions for dreamware, it's regular people.

Can someone post dreams.jpg/gif for me? Need it for another thread. If there's some archive I don't know about which contains all the insane art and stuff that's come out of these threads please link too. e: seeing as I'm here, Sabreseven posted:And their best response to Elite's curbstomping is their Archered version of Discord? gently caress this is all going fanfuckingtastically And of course the nuts of the '84er grognards. But for those people that's what Elite is meant to be about; the masochism of subjecting yourself to hundreds of hours of endless meaningless boredom in the Void of gameplay.

TheAgent posted:I started my career during the tech bubble of the 90s. Back then you had companies with tons of employees being bought out for tens of millions. The thing is: they never had a product. They had ideas, they had workers, concepts, mock ups, meetings; they had everything a company should have, except a product. This is a more evolved form of that situation though. Microsoft would dump money into someones dreams and eat a loss but eventually they would stop or move on. CIG has monetized it's desperately stupid fanbase to the point where they are paying to reinforce their faith based viewpoint. Where Microsoft might do some kind of analysis or investigation into profitability and margins, backers instead spend more money to make themselves feel better.
