Max my friend after all you did it for CIG at this point I would not be surprised if CR personally invite you to live in his house and share anything&everything with you and by anything I mean ANYTHING even alpha access to his toilet and PTU to his fridge....
hahaha
But no, unlike popular belief (on DS forums and SA forums conspiracies about this thread that seems very popular around those places), i'm not hired by CIG, neither would anyone know who I am on SC, not even CIG!
Every second post you reply to me you accuse me of being ingenuous or baiting you.
You either don't know what the words mean or you're repeatedly trying to spark a certain reaction.
Oh so it's ok to quote Chris Roberts when it suits you, but it's not ok to quote him when he's saying he's going to make the BDSSE or that we'll be playing Star Marine in two weeks or that birds will be in the game... or whichever of the other numerous ridiculous comments he's made.
So how do you decide what to believe and what not to believe when CIG devs talk?
I mean if we're talking "let's not listen to devs of the game", but we're truthfully talking about Marketing here, pure and simple. And it seems for me people are just playing innocent towards it to be able to act like they're so outraged about it.
The BDSSE is a big example of the marketing term, and at the end, it's all but marketing because, even if SC has all the promised features and so on, it's like those discussions "Witch is the Best FPS Game?!"
There isn't such, there's only opinions, the best FPS game for each individual. And that's why i goes beyond my mind people that over-dramatize this to a point it's blown out of proportion and people get angry over a company for market their product?! :|
Though the case of Star Marine has nothing to do with this, i don't think he had nothing to release on SM and still said "2 weeks", i don't believe that for a second, i do believe though they ran into issues and tried to bandage the release, and the more they dug on it, the worse it got, they kept doing that for months until finally delayed and focus redirected, and as we see today, Illfonic's code being refactored. That happens sometimes on games being developed! And to be clear, it's still CIG's fault for letting something like this happen.
Now when people come around with all that anger and hatred about how CR lied and said "he said he was creating the BDSSE!", "he said PC games were dead!", and similar stuff, i can do nothing more but face-palm. :/
Now if one comes with actual things as being un-happy about the scope changes and the features changes that came with it, and the overall the different direction from what it was originally, then that yes, i do understand.
