Where do they pull these facts from?

Edit: It's worth mentioning that Stanton as a whole was designed with 50 players in mind

Just apply some logic, with a common shared mega-shard like CIG plan, that means, taking an average of 50 players per system, SC in its current state is designed for 100 players (max). At 100 systems it would be designed for 5000 players.

They really just love making stuff up.

Devs have been told 'server meshing is coming' for multiple years in a row, but the missions/levels deployed at the time were not designed to account for higher player counts. The attitude was: 'We'll cross that bridge when we come to it'.

The water is rising but the bridge construction got delayed.

“The problem isn’t that CIG is evil like you all try to pretend, it’s that the game is popular.”

The game is so good that the developers look bad.

Presume that is a reference to the original servers cap which was at around 50 if memory serves. Note that server meshing has not improved much on this, on an average players per server basis, within a shard.

(Standard missions still somewhat lost in the spaghetti)

And we opened the dam even more so that'll help us build the bridge faster.

Excelent interview with CIG head of tech and tools Sean Tracy, where you will find him saying gems like:

We are [SC is] out, right? You guys are playing it right now.

He is not wrong there!

Or

When you look at shipped games in this gen even in the last year let's say or so [SC is] very much on par. I'm not talking about necessarily bug-free experience or hitching and things like that…

Translation: SC is utterly broken but other than that, yeah, on par.

Lol, someone linked my ToW vid in the replies

Outsourcing CitzenCon. Smart move. Big fan of the description
""Quantum Vegas 2955" is the immersive community led event that serves as a gathering point for members of the Star Citizen gaming community and special guests from Cloud Imperium Games."
Going to check out the video later.
What Star Citizen needs are more content creators /s

Confirmation that the folks are NOT testing an alpha. It's out, it's released. They've been playing it. Albeit, not to be judged against other released games in terms of bugs, gameplay, content, stability, or any other measure than 'teknoligi' (and maybe not that either if supposed to be working).

Gaslighting? Cognitive dissonance? Barefaced dreams.txt?

Gaslighting. Clear case imo.

SC is a released product, it is just a very bad and broken one. That is it.

CIG is using and abusing terms such as “alpha” or “crowdfund” in order to bamboozle the market so we do not treat SC like the already released product it is.

Very true...Ci~G have been doing this for almost as long as you've been saying it

Some bonus bits from that Sean Tracy fan-terview...

Source: https://youtu.be/GWFC4TXOOv0?si=tqP4tINokvcYLjnd

[9m40s] CR emails about new tech he'd like to have added (Like some 'obscure GDC presentation' about something 'real fancy, nice, and hard' he's watched)
+
[12m30s] You're not going to be able to 'hide' good new tech from CR. He 'kicks open the door and goes Nanite' (But wouldn't want it copied, would want it custom tailored for SC etc).

[10m50s] Sees Unreal and Unity as their competitors. Wants to give their devs an engine and tools that are as good as theirs [ ]

[14m30s] Doesn't see them licensing tech. Agreements, plus they're not set up to support clients

[19m30s] They need to work on validation, making sure things aren't getting rebroken etc.

[23m] Big bit on him hoping ToW comes after SQ42 [same as that bar citizen info]

[35m] Doing some work on getting an LLM to run off the CPU

[39m] Working on a single planet for Planet Tech v5.

 

[thistle]

It never ends.

And then suddenly it will.

It's the circle of liiiimbo...

I seemed to have discovered a new bug compared to the weekend.. Flying into a hanger and instantly repositioned to a Polaris, not sure whos, and i keep fallling and repositioning in an infinite loop..

• permalink

Lol, probably mine, I keep getting repositioned OUT of my Polaris, back to the now closed docking port!

I am not giving a single $ more to CIG untill they have a game. - Star Citizen Spectrum

The latest event was the breaking point for me. I’ve been a backer of Star Citizen for years and have invested a lot into this project — time, money, and hope. Like many of you, I believed in the...

Eternal alpha development clearly isn't for them.

 

[WhiteHaulerMan]

£30 for what you get is well within the sane axis here. Anything beyond £200 in Kickstarter to me was unreasonable at the time.

The (potentially) interesting thing to the rest of you is that I find there's a strong (annecdotal admitedly) connection between the DCS players that I know who own every module for it that also have put massive investment into SC.
