Fine, fixed.
Drunks of Sol approve!
Unfortunately, I've got about 8 hours to go before a refreshing maintenance spray or two
Friend of mine has just finished a new build and wants to try Star Citizen in 4k and attempt VR - so that's tonight planned out It'll be interesting to see how SC performs - from what he's said his machine will make mine look like a ZX Spectrum.
NOO! There was nothing to fix!
The only time you should ever combine the two is in the phrase “fix me a pint, will you?”

Relax, the number of pints in that post didn't change.
Well… ok then.
The title is accurate, at least. If they've suddenly started using long-established industry-standard coding practices rather than trying to invent something of their own, then that's a huge step forwards. I'm not entirely sure this kind of importance was what the poster intended to convey, though.
If their funding tracker can be believed they are getting around $3 million per month on average.
Allegedly, there is in the region of 10,000 new backers per month. The new backers realistically account for no more than $750,000 so the current backers are dumping around $2.25 million per month on this vanity project.
Which is a lie.
Sums up sadly perfectly how absurd this messy development looks like.
If this was 2013-2014 then yes, but now when people are increasingly sick of their aggressive sales? No way.
I disagree. I am sceptical of the numbers but flat out stating it is a lie when there is no actual proof to the contrary is a fool's game.
It is just using the metrics available which is better than me making things up. I used allegedly to show my own skepticism at their numbers and as always, any self-published metrics should be taken with a pinch of salt, that really shouldn't need to be said.

The idea that they are getting, on average, 300 or so additional paying backers day in day out, for years on end does seem very dubious. I feel a lot of the issue is how there are no clear metrics for the project. Everything is bloated and obfuscated by a variety of means which makes it really hard to get a proper picture of what is exactly what.
I wish I could find the post which recorded the backer increase for Elite prior to it releasing on Steam for a bit of a comparison.
No-one involved with the project wants to do that because the last time they scored big numbers related to any kind of viewship or participation, it was the massive number of downvotes on their referral contest video.
This is getting rather silly now. I find dealing with this level of absolutes and diving into conspiratorial thinking a waste of time.
I don't want to accuse them of lying because I feel that's quite a strong comment to make and I don't have enough actual evidence to make such a comment. We can hypothesise about things but that's a huge distance from your so-called proof.
As I previously said, allegedly these are the numbers they get. Just so that there is no misunderstanding, the word allegedly means: Used to convey that something is claimed to be the case or have taken place, although there is no proof and the context I used it in was to show my own skeptism about the numbers (do I even need to say this?).

If a person says that something is alleged it doesn't mean it's their viewpoint but that is the stance you are taking which is why you're in the wrong, you're being unreasonable and you're the one way off reality.
I agree with Zetta, everyone knows your facts are not facts at all. They are rants from someone who has proved themselves time and time again to be unbalanced in how you view every single thing about this game. There's a reason you get banned everywhere and it's not because you are a paragon of truth and facts...

Rolan, For those of us sans a life, how did the date go? Did you talk to you new romantic interest about computer games?
Are his/her numbers accurate with the information available from CIG? If they are then he/she is not objectively wrong. You can argue the merit of the numbers and that is probably why they used the word allegedly as far as I can tell.
Did Zetta deny any of this?
You took off the rant because the truth clearly hurts
