Star Citizen - Chris Roberts, lots of spaceship porn, lots of promises

BOOM! CIG rep who spoke with Kotaku, confirmed ANOTHER point I made in my thread regarding TOS arbitration date implications

“His pledges with new money on top of his earlier pledges required him to accept the new Terms of Service.”

This one is really good.

Derek, did we lose any of your posts due to the migration?

He had a 15k word post about how he was wrong and the game is good now that pre-alpha tier 0 version 3.2 is out.

I assume he’s retyping it up now.

Although he’s probably too busy playing to type!

If you’re talking about the migration from the legacy Usenet era forum to this monstrosity we’re currently using, then yeah - I think so. But that’s a good thing if you ask me, because there were some pretty damning evidence of that Usenet warlord who never saw a hill he didn’t want to die on. He re-spawned a lot. :)

EDIT: Wait! No! I just read up that they migrated to a new server. So yeah, the legacy posts prior to this forum remain lost. But I haven’t noticed that any of my posts in this new forum missing. I will keep looking because I memorize all my posts, and can easily spot when something is missing or censored.

LOL!! Yeah, so true. I got interrupted by the latest “Derek Smart Was Right” shit-storm regarding the failed backer lawsuit.

For those of you who still read PC Gamer

Yeah, it’s going to be that kinda week for Star Citizen

Well, now we know what he is going to post on April 1.

My article about the latest Star Citizen lawsuit, and it’s implications, is now live.

I also did a video narrative discussing the finer points about why anyone who put money into Star Citizen is never getting their money back, let alone a game - of any kind.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, I still hold out hope that a great game will emerge from this. But that’s just hope talking. The Wing Commander nostalgia is that strong :)

Happily, it wasn’t strong enough to make me back this. Phew.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. So just hold onto your money and see if a miracle happens (it won’t).

Some people were asking for this in podcast format, so here it is on SoundCloud

Nice video… it’s great to hear someone discuss Star Citizen intelligently who doesn’t have a massive bias in favor of the project. Some of those “gameplay” loops in the background are hilarous; I was continuously laughing out loud at the ambulating salute. Somehow metaphorical for those brave backers thus far, I guess.

The thing is, and i’ve said it before, ever since Starlancer in 2000, his track record has been pretty much nonexistant, and what there is of it is bad. Nothing in the past almost 2 decades since then suggests he was capable of leading a project of this scope and magnitude, and I warned all my friends away from it years ago. I am sad to appear to be correct in my cynicism.

I also sorta felt the same way about Lord British and “Shroud of the Avatar” when it went forward and that project appears to be struggling too.

Thanks. Also, I put those videos together as part of showing the state of the game. Many of the videos other people use in their broadcasts, are usually of pre-rendered footage, bullshots etc - and very rarely in-game footage. I had some even more hilarious ones, but didn’t get around to put them all in.

Shockingly, everything you just said, summed up my comment in this latest YT personality who is also a backer of Star Citizen. He did a video a few days ago, saying the game isn’t scam. Problem is, everything he stated would lead any normal gamer to conclude otherwise. :) And he wasted no time praising Christ Roberts.

LOL!!
