40 loving thousand dollars on jpgs. That's a yearly salary for a lot of people holy poo poo. I wonder what percentage of that 90 million is from whales. It's hard for me to believe all these people are in jobs that pay 6 figures if they are this stupid with their money. edit: I mean in just that screen shot people admitted to paying 80k gently caress me. The sad thing is those guys have probably put in more money since march. Like I can't even imagine how unscrupulous you would have to be knowing your fans are dropping this kinda cash for your project and not saying anything to them knowing they are probably destroying their financial lives on something like this and having to live up to those expectations.

I don't know why anyone would back star citizen maybe outside of that initial kickstarter money just to show viability. If he didn't get enough money from purely fan donations he would have gotten it from investors and publishers after proving the project had sufficient interest and actually would have to meet milestones to please them. Then you could pay for the game the same price every other video game is 60 bucks and get the same poo poo he is charging these dupes thousands of dollars. Were these people so terrified that the game would cease to exist if they didn't spend their whole life savings on it (probably ensuring it actually never will exist now funny enough because now he can feature creep the game to death and have zero accountability.). Or do they think they are getting value from buying this ships with real cash because they think it will be pay to win? Sorry if this has been answered a million times I don't want to read all 600+ pages of the old thread and more to catch up on this train wreck.

It's kinda amazing in all these gifs that are getting posted the game somehow runs worst and buggier than stock crysis. How does that happen? I don't know a lot about coding do they have to rip out working systems to make it a space ship game?

I think its time to post taco recipes and pictures Fish taco time!  http://www.chowhound.com/recipes/basic-fish-tacos-29193 1 Place the fish in a baking dish and squeeze a lime half over it. Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt and pepper and turn the fish in the marinade until evenly coated. Refrigerate and let marinate at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the slaw and warm the tortillas. 2 Combine the cabbage, onion, and cilantro in a large bowl and squeeze a lime half over it. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary; set aside. 3 Warm the tortillas by heating a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla at a time, flipping to warm both sides, about 5 minutes total. Wrap the warm tortillas in a clean dishcloth and set aside while you prepare the fish. 4 Brush the grates of a grill pan or outdoor grill with oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Remove the fish from the marinade and place on the grill. 5 Cook without moving until the underside of the fish has grill marks and is white and opaque on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and grill the other side until white and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes more. (It’s OK if it breaks apart while you’re flipping.) Transfer the fish to a plate. 6 Taste the slaw again and season as needed with more lime juice. Slice the remaining lime halves into wedges and serve with the tacos. To construct a taco, break up some of the cooked fish, place it in a warm tortilla, and top it with slaw and any optional garnishes. Vire fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Oct 26, 2015 |

I love that these idiots don't even realize most of us couldn't give one poo poo what happened in eve and is such a almost trivial part of SA as a whole. I didn't even know what a train wreck this game was until the GBS thread / escapist article. This is some top quality entertainment. They are so bitter they removed pictures of loving tacos from the internet to get at us. They sure showed us.

Michaellaneous posted:I really want to be the fly on the wall for that one. Did they plan for their fans to be happy with that? I'm pretty sure all they needed to do was put a few employees in the crowd and have them start clapping and the rest would just follow. What else could they do even if they where not happy about it boo their own hero in front of a crowd that would be extremely hostile to that kinda thing? Maybe I am giving them too much credit though.

I wonder if Gary Oldman would feel bad if he found out that over 200 people are being paid under industry standard and not getting matching 401k so he could get paid millions of dollars to do this gig while im sure the top of the company are all buying new mansions for themselves.

At the rate they are developing the guy who is comfortable with 2020 will get his wish anyway. No he won't because they will run dry of money long before that  . They are already closing a whole studio down to save money.

neonbregna posted:I believe this was a 200 million dollars over several games or years or something. If 200 million was spent on the steaming pile of excrement that is destiny that was a pretty good money laundering scheme. That original figure was 500 million dollars. I didn't include the ludicrous marketing cost that they budgeted. It was estimated that the dev cost was around 200 million which makes sense if you know how big their dev team is and how many years they worked on it.

I said come in! posted:RSI is actually near 2 years behind, 3 - 4 years when Squadron 42 comes out, but the delayed timer will still be ticking because S42 will not be completed fully by then and the other promised gameplay modes wont be done yet either. There's no excuse for why Squadron 42 isn't finished and feature complete by right now. It should be a full game buyable on Steam right now and it's not and that is beyond unacceptable. Didn't elite basically do this in the same time frame?
