To be fair in this instance the users of a website that harbors an unusual amount of pedophiles are right that it won't happen. People in the original SA thread about this scam were directly challenging Derrick to sue them and all he did was use that to get a subforum on a dead internet comedy website.

Granted I'd love to see him follow through but I think it's got the same likelihood of happening as Star Citizen has a likelihood of existing and being good.

I too want this. Very badly. I want to see that poo poo eating grin permanently removed from Chris Roberts mouth for all time. He did not deserve this lottery windfall. I think what disgusts me is that he is a talent-less hack and was rewarded for it while there are so many others out there that are far more deserving of the once in a lifetime gift he was given. $140+ Million Dollars is a lot of loving money. And his arrogance and stupidity pissed it all away. It makes you look back at his original goals back when he only needed $5 Mil and wonder how fast he would have been broke or what kind of product he would have delivered.

Let our common goal happen! I've been in this thread longer than most people actually play Star Citizen. I think, as players of a different sort, we too deserve the "game" to be released.

I would no joke buy a book about game development by Chris Roberts.

It would be filled to the brim with such wisdom.

"...and after the 3D model is made, you apply a layer of code to each item you want code for. And that code should be good code, with objects and probably also connected to the cloud so it can scale infinitely with your needs."

It's interesting to see what a successful game maker has to say, and virtually all of it being completely the opposite of what crobbleco is doing.

This is pretty cool. It's neat to see a dev take complaints seriously and learn what their audience does and doesn't like.

I don't think I've ever seen Roberts say "Well we tried something and people didn't like it all so we're scrapping it and trying something new. " It's all about him.

I'm reminded of Wildstar. When the game came out and the raids were initially way too hard. People complained but for the longest time the devs refused to budge, even though they literally couldn't complete the content. They dragged their feet as players struggled and eventually gave in and made it easy enough for one guild to complete. Then the main dev mocked them for their accomplishment and insinuated they only won because the devs made it easy enough. The population plummeted and the game went F2P (after a ton of promises pre-release that it would never suffer this indignity). It's a pretty big bomb now.

As of Q4 2016 Ncsoft no longer show it as a major game in its quarterly financial, bundling it in the "other earnings" category, along with smartphone apps and other freemium titles. Q3 2016 where the worst earning ever since the game released, 15x lower than NCsoft second lowest earning major game (Guildwars 2 with 15M$), making barely 1M$ in revenue.

Give it a try while it last, its probably headed the City of Heroes direction unless earning picks up this quarterly or the next.

It really was the best of times and worst of times. It seems CIG is sputtering along. They've finally learned not to show much with their open development model that would bring on brigades of ridicule. The people who funded them (the filthy producers) can't handle the general malaise that is going on within the dumpster fire.

I'm sure soon enough pressure will cause something to blow shortly.

Yeah. It sucks 10FTC v2.0 got refactored into Chris stealing Ben's job.

Didn't they promise a new one like 2 weeks ago, asked subscribers to submit questions, then quietly cancelled it a few days later?

Nah.

As fun as having uncle Dereck go space court on them would be entertaining and funny its pretty evident that there is nothing (yet) than we know of that could be used to make a case viable. Being a bad game dev, squandering millions and making bordeline impossible promises is neither a criminal or civil offense.

The best thing i could think for a solid legal actions would be proof that the funding tracker is bullshit. We all suspect there is shenanigans going on with it, but unless there is a leak from Turbulent detailling exactly "how" it is misrepresenting the real funding we cant do much about it.
