And this is from a well established company that's been doing this for literal decades. Sometimes just building a basic concept for an entire decade before nailing anything down.

I celebrated my 15 year anniversary at my company and we finally decided on the name of our product. Its also Spectrum (Spectrum the telecom paid us wads of cash).

By July, they'll be saying the June date was a goon FUD creation, Chris Roberts (piss be upon him) never said any such thing.

I think dates should just be a bannable offense for the CIG community.

June... banned. That's your name? Definitely banned you goony snowflake.

Instead, it should be: how many patches ago was your birthday?

And really since it's alpha, it should be about the duration of the last patch value.

I'm 12 2.0-2.6's old. In another quarter 3.0 I'll be dead. Etc etc.

This is probably the best part of it all.

While everybody is going "boy I sure can't wait for..." and such, not many people think "and in the end, this is going to look like..."

Wow. They're actually making UNprogress.

The user base is out of control.

Expectations are unrealistically high due to hugely unrealistic promises.

The game is still over a decade of hard core development away.

The only money coming in is from preorders for space ship DLC.

Given all of these facts, your primary goal is to keep your ship DLC sales going. The best way to do that is to hide everything else. It's only going to get worse. Ride the train as long as possible.

They've grown a community that is bad for business, though they also expected to have the game finished and delivered by now. These are measures being taken by people too incompetent to complete the project, but also don't want to give up the money tree just yet because of greed. So somewhere in there is some/a very smart person who's got their finger on the pulse and is doing ever they can to mitigate problems and keep the money flowing.

It's pretty telling the people that support this game when they are excited about a schedule report that A. should have been out months ago and B. completely forgot the fact it was all supposed to be out last December. Nevermind the fact the roadmap is just now being laid out.

Nah, it's all idiots. CIG is just less stupid than the backers they are fleecing.

We used to think Ortwin was the mastermind behind it but the streetroller fiasco showed he's as clownshoes as the rest of them.

Just spent nearly a grand getting our eighteen-year-old cat's remaining teeth pulled so she can eat without pain; between that and appetite stimulant, she's been filling out nicely.

So she was patient enough to hunt and bring in a baby bunny. Completely unharmed, the cat is toothless. But that's fun at 3am. A confused as gently caress rabbit and a really happy cat.

Nah. Last I read, cats bring stuff home because they've concluded that your hunting skills are on below kitten-level and need to be improved or at least stimulated. So the message here is “hey, I don't even have any teeth and I still out-hunt you useless people. Get on my level, scrub.”
