You know, all this chatter about the amazing promise of the CIG demos kept nagging me. Then, tonight at work, it hit me. What space game had amazing demos and turned out to be complete pants? All because the developer had two projects running at the same time, and, instead of concentrating and finishing one, decided they had to do two? And ended up with one of the projects, the "big one" becoming an industry wide joke?

That's right.

I'm talking Gearbox. I'm talking Aliens: Colonial Marines, and their side project Borderlands. Mind you, Gearbox didn't flame out or anything, but, still...

(And I am not EVEN counting their "nostalgia/revival" title, one little Duke Nukem Forever...)

Gearbox asked SEGA to fund Aliens: Colonic Marines, but instead spent the money on Borderlands.

Crobberz asked kickstarter to fund Star Citizen, but instead spent the money on mocap.




Yup, sounds about right.

Or even from Master of Orion, but I'm sure that's based on something else.

Bottom line is, most sci-fi tropes are derivative and not very interesting.

Alkari, that was what their name was. I couldn't remember, so I just went for Endless Space instead.

Anyway, the point is, Crobz does not own a single original idea in his thumb like head.

I'm not wrong here on assuming that sales of referrals has to be credit card fraud, right?

There's no other explanation for how somebody could have referrals to sell. Really, explain to me how somebody can bulk sell referrals without some kind of fraud being involved.

It's fraud all the way down.

It's funny how the reddit idiots think they can argue themselves out of having to provide proof for their bullshit. It is eerily similar to freemen-of-the-land trying their faux legalese bollocks to get out of traffic tickets or whatever.

Ha ha, of course they've retreated to Germany.

Germany is important for them. For some reason those tedium games like Euro Truck Simulator or farming Simulator or loving airport bus driving simulator is "the hot poo poo" in Germany, as the cool kids say. When Star Citizen comes along and offers the opportunity to be a truck driver (in space) or a news van driver (in space) or a box stacking specialist (in space), the Germans are all jumping at the opportunity and opening their wallets.

So, in a way, you could say the game is Kraut funded.
