Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Why do they always do free fly events when it's in the worst possible state? They're so consistent about this that it must be a strategy. Maybe people do a "the graphics tell me that the gameplay has so much potential!" and buy in low, then see it consistently improve since there's nowhere to go but up and that gives the longest possible runway for upselling?

Its like those Nigerian prince scam emails. Only the most stupid fall for them, so they filter out those with brains.

If someone makes it through the free fly thinking "Oh man, this is the best game ever", they know they have a budding future whale on their hands!
 
Loving the people in that thread who are saying this is how it reminds people that live is just a testing platform.

Can't wait for marketing to release the promo for the free fly saying "Playable Now!"
 
This fricking game 😁
The physics engine is at this point long dead and is now random digital noise, obliterated by a mind bending cascade of if-then-else statements. Devs who dare open this unholy code will probably face the same effects as if facing Chtulhu. So in order to keep their sanity they will just code additional layers around it without even touching it, adding to the ever growing pile of spaghetti.

Guilty pleasure: I love diving into code pasta to untangle some of it and make it better. Well structured code is boring!

They can't touch it! That code was written by Genuine Roberts in a mad coding frenzy he did one summer several years ago, as reported at one of their meetings with backers.

One simply does not touch the sacred code!
 
I don't know how much CIG are paying for ad services/promotion, but on Facebook i distinctly remember telling it to stop showing me posts from the Star Citizen account and adverts several times, and they still occasionally pop up.

Either CIG are paying to ensure they still get shown or the advertising algorithm is thinking "Hey, this guy loves space games, he must be mistaken when he says he doesn't want to see stuff about Star Citizen!"
 
To be fair, I once broke my finger in real life getting out of a chair, so it checks out. ;)(y) (I was 13 and the school bus was early. The chair had decorative cutouts, and the finger slipped into one as I went into “I’m late!” mode complete with a piece of toast in my mouth. Needless to say, I missed the bus. 😱 )

Kids always come up with the most impossible excuses to not do their duties. :sneaky:
