Cloud is dumb buzzword bullshit, except for the server virtualization stuff (which is really awesome), the only actually cool and good thing about cloud. All the rest is bog standard co-location datacenter stuff. I remember when cloud was going to fix everything for XBox One.

I can't wait for Amazon to "mesh" servers for his instances.

What the hell happened to all the in-house mocap stuff they had as a stretch goal? Didn't they buy 4 studios worth, or some poo poo?

I forgot about that cloud nonsense. Isn't Crackdown the first game to use it beyond dedicated servers? Is that game ever coming out?

I don't think there will ever be legal action. The casuals will simply move on from a failed kickstarter. The hardcore whales who go down with the ship will claim that they got their moneys worth, funded a dream, let CIG produce tech that could be licensed out in the future (lol), or some how saved the PC industry from certain death.

There might be a small subset of big spenders who wanted a refund but didnt request it in time.

I dunno, it's hard for me to believe that the whales who spent 10k+ will "go down with the ship" as you say.

Never to completion. I started learning 3D modelling for precision animatronic stuff (because large custom animatronic eyes are hard to make without, and I was doing a project that needed eyes with a huge diameter), but because I'm super fussy and need to be at every stage of the process, and access to high end printers is pretty much impossible to get unless you're part of a university or company which owns one, it never progressed beyond modelling. :barf: to say it, but I needed the ~~fidelity~~. That project's been on ice for about 6 years now, though I learned a new technique that might pass as a solution.

Just use Agisoft with 100 close-up pictures of the person's eyes. They won't animate, but they'll be super fidelicious.

Edit; wow, bitcoins are still relevant?

'He is reluctant to relive the particulars of what happened in the weeks and months following No Man’s Sky’s release in August 2016 (“I find it really personal, and I don’t have any advice for dealing with it,” he says), but it involved death threats, bomb threats sent to the studio and harassment of people who worked at Hello Games on a frightening scale. They were in regular contact with Scotland Yard and the Metropolitan police. “We didn’t talk about it, but it was as bad as things can get, basically,” Murray says. “There’s a smorgasbord of things that the angry mob can do. It is a crowdsourced thing of how bad you can make someone’s life.'

I think things can get worse.

So CIG trying to license their poo poo to other markets, particularly Asia because its like the only market they haven't tapped yet. Yeah thats going to work great with China now that they are cracking down on corporations bringing in new games to the market and severely limiting the amount of time people can put into games in the first place.

Its also going to work great in korea et al where the PC gaming market is incredibly hard to penetrate and most people playing in cafes instead of their homes

Both which usually have a pay by the hour thing, and its going to be great paying for like 3 hours of time to get like 10 minutes of gameplay out of it

Do you have a link describing the stuff about China? That sounds crazy. Particularly limiting the time people can play. Or do you mean limiting the time employees can work on games?

Sometimes it hits me: these people believe that they will be playing a video game in which Earth will be a fully fleshed-out, navigable world. Earth. But then, they believe that this Earth will be just one planet in one system, and that there will be 100 systems, each with planets at least the size of Earth, and at least some of them just as populated.

Also moons.

And Earth.

I haven't been following development closely (been too busy spreading FUD). Are they seriously planning on accurately modeling earth, our solar system and 100 other solar systems? Why aren't there 100 other galaxies? You guys need to step up your funding!

I seriously doubt Sandi has any degrees at all. At most probably the one from the school in Australia she claims. Not the two or three claimed from UCLA. Maybe attended never graduated. She acts and talks like a fake navy seal to me.

Wouldn't this be incredibly easy to find out? I can type the name of my dissertation in google and find it easily. I've also heard of journalists contacting universities to verify the credentials of famous people. Why isn't DSmart on this yet?

I remember a hilarious interview where someone asked her what was the topic of her marketing thesis and she said 'um...international marketing' or something vague and stupid like that. Anyone who's actually been through the hell of writing a thesis/dissertation would be eager to go into some detail about what they worked on.
