I read it that 70% of that small amount of money was spend on marketing, not 70% of all cash. Doesn't strike me as such a terrible thing, its still a couple of million on mocap (fine), plus a decent PR-mocap/animation budget of 10 million or so. Not really shocking to me, if that is the case.
 
Perma-banning should only be done with very good evidence of guilt.
Perma-banning from an alpha seems an odd thing to do: as others have said, they're finding bugs when they don't particularly matter.

To be mischievous, may I suggest that Frontier give a basic E : D account to anyone who can prove they were perma-banned from SC? After all we're all space sim fans.
To be really mischievous, may I suggest Derek gives them a copy of LoD? [hehe]

I don't read it at all. I think source implies that 70% of that dep money ("our money") was spent on marketing (both internal and external, I will guess developing demos), while mocap costs were multiple times smaller than speculated previously.

This also sounds that source is a bit confused about costs of various stages - it might be just mocap for all trailer nonsense we have seen and has zero to do with actual mocap with actors etc.
 
If they had banned us from cheating during the ED alpha I doubt there would have been many players left. Luckily Frontier encouraged hacking as long as it was properly reported since it still counts as bugs, I still remember that guy showing up one day in the unreleased unseen Anaconda for the first time.

Unseen... What? Alpha 1.0 had anacondas in the training missions.

I think he meant when players worked out how to get flyable Anaconda's before FD were ready to let players fly them :D

I recall them asking very nicely not to show off screenies of the cockpit views as they were not finalised - and if I remember right, were missing whole sides and bottom.
