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

We actually don’t do it for Trump!

I think there are some European outlets that do so, but that might be for lack of accurate parsing and a desire to just print the entirely, rather than make errors judging what is style and what is content.

[Fifth_Fret]

I’m sure; and I have seen such transcripts before.

[Fifth_Fret]

You’re reading too much into it. That’s how us Goons have transcribed his many ramblings. It’s a thing. It’s hilarious. And it’s a constant source of lols. Get with the program.

I think at some point you have to pick if you want to be persuasive or hilarious. At his juncture you’re sacrificing one for the other.

[Timex]

That’s how us Goons have transcribed his many ramblings.

It’s so weird to see you identifying as a Goon these days.

They did collaborate on Desktop Commander way back when, so it isn’t that strange.

Disclaimer

Remember: we are offering this pledge ship to help fund Star Citizen’s development. The funding generated by sales such as this is what allows us to include deeper, non-combat oriented features in the Star Citizen world. All ships will be available for in-game credits in the final universe, and they are not required to start the game. The goal is to make additional ships available that give players a different experience rather than a particular advantage when the final persistent universe launches.

In the UK our businesses tend to follow the spirit of the law, rather than US practice which is to follow the letter of the law. Hence huge compliance and legal teams in US banks, to get away with everything they can as long as they are within the letter of the law.

If you look at Star Citizen debacle, the companies practices and the consumers perception of their practices and their personal expectations, this whole thing is rotten through and through. There is a complete lack of ethical culture in this firm. This is a cynical affair, they are relying on addictive personalities and techniques normally associated with the gambling and collectables industry (beanie baby investments etc) to take their client base for every penny they can get.

You missed a large segment. Those being patient and waiting to see what’s what and don’t really give a crap about the controversy rants.

Presentation is live (ish).

Those people barely exist on the starcitizen subreddit. It is the most toxic sub on reddit outside ones like T_D.

[Pyperkub]

yeah, I can’t even stand to wade through all the crap in this thread, no way I’m poking my head in there!

Side note - thanks to the posters who post actual information about the actual game, rather than the meta stuff. You have more stamina and patience than I.

I had high hopes for a Crawford open world space sim

You want Chris Crawford to make an open world space sim? Dude.

[Reemul]

Maybe if they did there job and actually made and game and made progress there wouldn’t be this meta but the fact is they aren’t and deserve all they get.

[rei]

Maybe they could change scope once again and pay DW Bradley or Ken Rolston.

[Jason_McMaster]

Ken Rolston, that’s what this project needs!

[Quaro]

Chris Crawford had left the gaming industry, right? Then his first project back is a 300-person team size project with apparently infinite scope creep.

[rei]

Sign up Jeff Minter and Peter Molydeux too.

[Jason_McMaster]

I love Jeff Minter. The game would become about space sheep almost instantly.

[Telefrog]

I think it’s time to give Curt Schilling another chance. Let’s put him in charge!

[Jason_McMaster]

RA Salvatore and Space Drizzt.

[rei]

Tom Clancy!
