The Star Citizen Thread v 3.0

Thread Closed: Not open for further replies.
Since when a person with just a degree and no experience is qualified to a Executive Marketing position of a multi-million dollars company selling products/services around the globe? She could be qualified to a trainee position. Not as VP of Marketing, Support Lead, HR lead, "co-founder", "special role in the middle of Hollywood stars" and so on.

That's kind of my point - for me the marriage bit is a bit of a red herring by comparison.
 
Don't worry. I am sure that people reading your comments already noticed that you don't see some things.
Make me see them then.

If there is a Marteking side of the whole SC, is the Backers. If there is 1 Million Star Citizens, is not because CIG does Marketing, it's because its community did that for them.
The say way the Elite: Dangerous community did the same for the game after the KS (even being Frontier one already existent company before it).
 
Well to be fair - as an actress that's something she does have experience in (though not necessarily mocap)!
I think she had some experience as one actress yes, i mean mocap is about... movement, if you know how to move and are one actor, i think you're done. :p

Highly doubt that her actress experience or talent demonstrated (you probably know what I am talking about) would give to her one of the roles in the cast of a multi-million dollar project, presented side by side with people like Mark Hammil and Gary Oldman, and presented in the list above people like Gillian Anderson and so many other actual professional actors with experience.

This is so embarrassing that they removed their name from the main list, in the trailer that the general public/press watched, but she is there, presented in part of the group of the main cast. You all should know that there are more actors that will be part of SQ42 that are not in that list.

You only see the names that matter on any movie/game trailer. I think Sandi is just like the Admiral.. secretary? Troop thing.. blah.
 
The thing is, Star Citizen has no real marketing, the only places the company spends money on on marketing, are the Game Conferences and things as Merchandise, at the end of the day her job is not fundamental for the company if she does it well or wrong.
What CIG needs, is a PR team, because the communication is flawed when we talk about things like the way Roberts didn't help himself from going public on his reply to The Escapists.

CIG spends a ton of effort of marketing. Every ship sale is marketing, the white boxing, the web page, the 2d games, the ship commercials, the ship brochures, all of that is marketing. Oh and lets not forget the fake TV shows the CEO put his failed actor wife in charge of and stars in.

So, what was the plan? Making money for CR future ventures in the Movies/personal objectives? Boost Sandi's actress career? Expand their Hollywood network? Then I agree. Great plan. But for the game, for CIG, for maintenance of trust on crowdfunding of potential/general consumers, was the worst possible.
My impression as an early SC backer, especially after watching the CitizonCon stream: This woman runs the entire show, she seems to be in charge of the whole thing, while Chris sits at the computer programming and micromanaging his game dream. Despite being officially called the chairman, he doesn't seem to be the one pulling the strings anymore (or never was).

That's the problem: I didn't back an actress or any of her endeavors. I'm not going to buy ship models to enrich a girl and further her acting career. Because it currently looks like that is her essential business model. While I'm sure, that well-off CR is just a hopeless dreamer who won't run with the money, I'm not so sure about the other people involved.
 
Oh that's just , CIG spends a ton of effort of marketing.

You need to separate the SUBSCRIBER MONEY from the BACKER MONEY.

Ship sales, as merchandise are marketing to its own community, not meant to spend money on, but to get money. Or... you mean they're using the backer money to sell ships to get backer money? Wait i got confused.

Well not surprised you are confused.


You claimed that the only marketing was for conventions and merchandise. I was merely pointing out that you are wrong yet again, seems to be a habit for you in this thread. Do you want to point out in my post were I said money? I am sure you can do it, you after all changed the subject to money. I am sure you have a reason for it. So please point to the part in my post were I was talking about money spent. Or is this just another diversion from the actual subject at hand?

Oh and I am still waiting for all those links proving your points that you seemed to have forgotten about. Like the random game development company you tried to link with CIG, or how Crytek stated they lost important people. Just to name a few.

Could you provide a proof that only subscriber money is spend on marketing (something that clearly you have no idea what it is)?

That would actually be fun.
Also if they could squeeze Mr. Bean and Borat somewhere in there...

There are no public accounts on "subscriber money" and how it is spent. It isn't even accounted for on the "Funding" page counting up the 90+ millions. So if subscribers don't fund the game, what do they spent money for then?

RSI said:
If you’re interested in going above and beyond to support Star Citizen’s development, there’s no better way than a development subscription! Subscribers get a variety of unique add-ons available nowhere else, which are created using the money paid into subscription fees. Products like Jump Point, 10 For the Chairman, and Around the Verse could not happen without our generous subscribers!
So subscribers back the game, don't they? But you somehow you justify that this "subscriber money" has not strings attached, right? Interesting ploy. ;)
