I wonder which is harder: designing SC or actual IRL rocket science. It seems that if you keep throwing money at rocket designers, you end up with some pretty cool rockets.

Do you really have Smarticles that need to be kept warm using tin foil in your pocket? I read it on the Internet.

Star Citizen backers now have a choice to make. 1) Dig deep & continue to fund a failed venture 2) ask questions about the money or 3) pull out and get a refund. What choice will you make? It's here. It's bad. And it's only going to get worse. Stay tuned.

Yes. Why are you asking?

I’m on the edge of my seat!

I’m braced, I’m braced! Hurry, drop it like it’s hot otherwise I’ll have to do work.

My guess is confirmation of ToS changes coming as 3.0 ‘launches’ to the masses, rather than any impending financial woes.

SadleyBradley · 2017-12-13T15:34:49.156Z

My guess is Chris Roberts announces he will execute one backer in the street every day until the project is complete. You know, for morale.

So, @dsmart, how many companies exactly are their involved in building this game now?

I have a list.

They have been sued by CryTek

Knightsaber · 2017-12-13T17:10:52.644Z

Switching engines to avoid paying?

Edit: Attempting and attempting, that is.

A lot worse than that actually. The filing is now up on PACER.

Star Citizen backer’s $25,000 refund has taken months, still in dispute

dsmart · 2017-12-13T17:50:35.523Z

The CryTek lawsuit is online

KallDrexx · 2017-12-13T18:12:56.544Z

Oh man, haha that’s hilarious that CIG didn’t think to buy two licenses to Crytek since they were distributing (and advertising) two stand alone games. And no one had enough business sense or legal sense to think “oh does our current license cover that?” Did they just think they bought an infinitely perpetual license?

This is all just an elaborate ARG that will result in leading the whales of Star Citizen to putting $250M into the Crycash ICO:

You clearly don’t understand video game development.

It’s like https://www.cryptokitties.co/ except spaceships.

The SC “reality bubble” is one too many for me.

Just reply back to me on this thread when a)Roberts is Madoff’d, or b)Roberts is elected as Louisiana senator in 2018.

Perky_Goth · 2017-12-13T19:03:58.780Z

GG. What a bunch of stupid “mistakes”.

I kind of wonder how switching engines would legally work with whatever contract they signed, assuming a best effort. I know it’s not relevant, but I’m curious.
