One last thing:

I haven’t personally encountered the type of behavior you mention in “Interstellar Pirates” from their community, although there does seem to be an awful lot of prejudice in favor of the game. Maybe it’s because I know when to get the hell clear if there are enough warning signs. Anyhow, if that sort of thing does go on ‘behind the scenes’ so to speak, that is truly deplorable, awful, sad, and misguided. No one deserves death threats, and the Freudian levels of suppressed teenage sexuality are… well, it’s apparently acted out very poorly.

Maybe the silver lining is we’ll see some new legislation on the other end of all this; Roberts’ own personal version of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Lord of War was a genuinely great film. So were Lucky Number Slevin and The Jacket (I just checked his imdb page).

5517

In all three cases he was one of nearly 20 producers on the projects.

I really want to something about the guy on the lower right, but we’re not in P&R, so…

I’m sure you would have said something hilarious and awesome, but thank you for your restraint.

Jeebuz. I was kinda kidding when I made the “Isle of Roberts” remark. After reading some of Derek’s links…eeek.

I miss Gary Larson so much. Weird, dark stuff, but not so weird or dark as to drive himself out mainstream success. A fine balancing act.

Who at Intel was duped enough to bundle a Star Citizen ship with the new Optane SSD?

Is it just me or does Chris Roberts look a lot a like Elon Musk in pictures?

I think having a willing & ready market to scoop up your first n (1,000??) units at $612 a pop (was $599 a week ago, so prices are going up), was a brilliant move.

For people who want to save some money, can they buy a 900P and resell the code for the Raven and recoup some of the costs?

5526

I had no idea the market for either was that big. Wow.

5527

I actually thought he looked more like the guy on the Bud Light commercial that says “dilly dilly”.

5528

How many games did you publish in that same timeframe? Three? More?

Politicians don’t get out of bed for $160m these days unless you spend it all on one politician.

The first post below that statement is great;

I love that he wants “clearance from the company rep.” Where else do people actively wish for digital interactions with pretend salespeople?

5531

“Realism”. Ruining games because some people don’t know where to draw the line since forever.

Not that this resembles a game in any real sense of the word, but you get the idea.

5532

About 5 I believe http://3000ad.com/games/

But he’s a moron. Best to block and move on.

Those guys are the reason that there’s no freaking game. But he wants a real estate program in an inaccessible procgen city that’s just windows dressing.
