Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

So, this is interesting.

On this page: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/star-citizen/

Zero mention of alpha of early access.

Some people report that on the main page: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/

It does mention alpha, but only for 4.0. That is for the experimental new release and not 3.xx, which is the default build released.

CIG once again trying to market the game as a released product.

Yes yes @Viajero - before you post, yes, we know.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if the actual UK accounts drop super late at the end of Q1 again.

The blog report they could use to image control as always in the meantime. But it is running late as well. Intriguing ;)

(Given the put option uses a profit calculation based on the prior 3 years CIG could definitely be in a quandary about how shiny they want 2023 to look ;))

Could they even publish a financial report before receiving word from the Calders agent? It's early days for their put options.
It would only affect 2025 but now that they've added the scary note once, they are expected to update it.

The numbers in the blog don't need to be audited, I guess, but they should match.
The blog post is not financial disclosure.

They could and they should have. They are actually late and will be fined for it by UK authorities. They could because the financials we are talking about are for 2023, not even 2024. And the next investor share put option is Q1 2025 anyways, so that should not impact financials already known for 2023.

They are nevertheless likely waiting for the formal investor´s decision this quarter in order to add their own spin to the auditior´s comments to the 2023 financials, like they did last year.

The fact the blog is late can also mean they are simply finding it difficult to square the costs vs sales equation for 2024 so to come up with something that can be spinned somewhat positively for the community. The worst case is that they have a few pre hashed scenarios depending on the investors decision. Which would be bad and mean that CIG is probably planning to misrepresent information, eventhough 2024 financials should be strictly independent from any 2025 Q1 put option decision. We´ll see.

And if the UK financials are even more late it can also signal that the discussions with investors are probably protracted.

They dont have to match at all. In fact they dont since the UK revenues are much lower than what the tracker says to start with. The tracker includes alleged revenues from US companies aswell. From the moment the UK filings include elements coming from a relation to overseas companies whose financials are not public, they can do whatever they want.

The only things CIG really need to match to continue bamboozling the community is the non audited tracker with the non audited blog. And those are whatever CIG wants them to be so 🤷‍♂️

SC will never have the horrendous repetition we see in other procedural generation games. Instead SC will just copy paste the same bases in the Best Damned Copy Paste Ever !! The fidelity!

The last dozens of bug vids posted can be summed up as this: the "SC has no loading screen" stance is in reality "SC is a pretty moving screen with constant naive clunky loading underneath" and it makes you think "after all, a couple of seconds of loading then no hassle is not a big deal, even more of it guarantees a clean unaltered gaming experience afterwards..."

And the fun thing: given the mess, when CIG has no other choice but fall back on "standard inferior system" (instanced hangar for example) they can't do it properly either because they don't know how to do it or the project is so messy they can't shoehorn it.

All in all, the few "never been done before" they harmfully half-baked in is precisely what prevents them any form of tangible prospect of a releasable product.

Aiming for the moon, and making sure to never be able to reach it by shooting themselves in the foot at any occasion. Then aiming for an even further goal...
