Holy poo poo they actually expect you to sit through all of this when playing the game?

In theory, I mean, since there's no game.

Yeah. I mean, we joke around a lot in the thread, but jesus, come on:


No one can look at this and go "Yup, looks really good for 2015 FPS, 3 years into development for 90 million dollars."

It unambiguously looks like crap.

I like that they very cleverly cut away from first person whenever a gun is actually being fired because it looks like poo poo. There's like one second of seeing a gun getting fired at 1:14 and it's completely stationary, they just make a muzzle flash appear behind the frozen gun model.

The way these guys talk about geneva conventions and not attacking medical ships and rep loss makes me wish this game would actually come out so Starfleet Dental could field their medical fleet and neutrally ram people so they'll respawn in the medbay with all the doors locked.

Its like they just make up these game mechanics and don't think about how easily exploitable they are.

All the more reason to never finish the game. If SC were ever finished, goons would just ruin it. As long as it is a dream, the brown sea rules the verse!

I wonder why nobody mentions the fact that it's a little weird to have like 4-6 different companies in 3+ countries to make a videogame.

I am way more surprised that a $90m company just flat-out ignored their obligation to file reports with Companies House in the UK. I cannot think of any good reason not to do that unless:

a) you don't have accounting records of any kind, or
b) you are planning to screw over your investors/generous redditors

Frankly, Bootcha, you should have been making frantic all-caps posts four months ago when they weren't posted by the due date, because this is some shady poo poo.

Really they should create 25 sub-accounts for the referral bonus, then ask for refunds on the 25 accounts once they have their golden idol. Except doing that would be fraud heresy

If it's released, then what's the point? Makes it harder to shitpost about it imo

Since Derek is gone and there hasn't been a colossal CIG gently caress-up recently, can we make fun of the terrible Star Citizen Game Ideas subforum? https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/categories/game-ideas

I don't know what's wrong with the seven people who voted "yes", but maybe CIG should contact them since they still haven't filed their real-life paperwork.

Star Citizens have the best ideas:

Interstellar travel should take thousands of years. I should be forced to wait in the captain's chair for the rest of my days, transferring my space JPEGs to my progeny on death so that one day, my children's children can reach the destination and turn in that haulage quest I accepted.

At the current rate of progress, only my children's children would get to play the game anyway

Reddit lawyer guy is right, if he's genuinely licensed as something and employed in a related field, this could get really, really awkward for him if DS takes his threats any further. God drat, that's unprofessional.

Perhaps the most salient detail that CIG is up to no good has to do with their murky corporate structure and far flung foreign operations. How exactly does CIG and RSI fit together? Why do they have studios in the UK and Germany? I have a feeling if someone bothers to follow the corporate paperwork it'll look something like thi:



No need to do Enron fuckery if you just refuse to file your accounts like CIG.

It's genius, they don't even need to lie to their stakeholders, they just do their Jedi mind trick of "you don't want to see our financials. Only bad people ask to see financials. You want to buy more ships."
