I'm sure that he re posted the same post from his Dev account not because is what he as a dev should do when he talks about the game in the official forums answering the players/backers/citizens... but just because you tweeted about it.
To be fair I wonder more and more often these days how often CiG or any of its supporters act because of outside triggers. Be it new announcements for different games, DS tweets or blog entries or other forum topics (yes even here). It certainly is not the norm in any "normal" company but I think its possible that Star Citizen is in full maintanance and damage control mode at the moment judging their current actions. That would include monitoring other sites and regular backer views / reactions in order to "keep the stream flowing".
Personally I dont take Mr Smarts tweets or blogs at face value but he does a good job (as do many in this thread btw) to point to irregularities within the project which I then can focus on, checking via my own options in order to come to a conclusion. That I wouldnt put it past CiG to act in this manner (the more rabid pro-fans do it anyway) by now is bad in itself and only shows how far my view on SC degenerated over time. I certainly started out as hopefull as most backers.
So the problem isn't that you gave the wrong date, thus completely skewing your punchline. The problem is that I pointed it out.
Him given the wrong date isnt important at all as it might be a typo and doesnt change the context nor render his statement invalid. The important bit (which you continously opt to ignore for whatever reason) is that 3.0 still isnt available nor in all probabiliby will be available in 2017 even tho it was promised for dec 2016. You keeping to distract in this manner speaks for itself tho despite numerous attempts to redirect your focus. Your attempt to discredit DS's argument is on par with forum people I came across in the past who concentrate on a grammatical error....mocking and disregarding complete arguments because of a typo...instead of staying on topic.
Many things can change in 5 months. Obviously 3.0 was not released; no one is disputing that in the first place. That fact isn't being argued.
Whats strange in this case is that you are completely "okay" with CiG missing yet another deadline / promise swiping it to the side as a non-problem which is not affecting CiGs credibility at all while DS having his dates wrong makes him a laughing stock. Funny
Chris Roberts doesnt need anybody (least of all DS) to make himself look foolish IMO. Nobody forced him in the past to give statements, promises or play his own game on a lifestream you know. This projecting of fault to third parties is worrying to be honest. First triggered by CR in his official denouncement of DS (thats still mind-boggling) which was then picked up by the gullible hordes who now somehow believe that DS is "the enemy". The "joke" in this case is that Mr Smart commands a LOT MORE attention on the internet due to the irrational hate and trolling directed at his person then if he simply was ignored. The continous upbringing of his name and his tweets makes him bigger then he is. Thats also funny
If DS really was such an unimportant nuisance people could simply ignore him. Thats probably what I should do with certain posters on this thread as well. It kinda hurts to see people post in such a malicious intent. Or outright disregard whatever they post....that obviously works for "those" people...might be worth a try
So your reply to "where is 3.0?" at the moment is "obviously it wasnt released"....
If you would post this with sarcasm I would rep you up and laugh with you for the "lol" moment it gave me but I have the feeling you are completely serious.......
On a different note. Does anybody know what the current SC-meme is? Obviously PG isnt mentioned anymore and currently isnt the focus (who knows btw as CiG doesnt say anything). Make-up battles in starfarers are old-school as well and SM either *BLEEP* hard or is boring by now. I ve seen a lot of highly unrealistic discussions and announcement which act as if item2.0, sticky hands, professions, farming etc are all in the game already. It all hits me more like easing the masses and generating new interest (aka getting more fresh blood) rather then innocent news and topics being discussed. 3.0 is met with silence from CiG and I m confused if all focus is directed at 6.1.2 or not. I thought CiG had several teams working on multiple aspects of the game at the same time? Or was that discovered to be bogus already?
All the new videos I spot about SC are on par with the agressive "google ad" discussions going on as they have one thing in common. They describe ingame features and mechanic as if they are integrated already and working flawlessly and in that manner deceive and outright lie. I realize that a regular "gamer" doing something like this will be perceived as innocent while a company would be uncovered to scam their playerbase. Cant shake the feeling THATS why we see so many of these fan-made promotional vids at the moment ^^ The above mentioned google ad especially went crazy and is discussed a lot on reddit
