That's some attempted walk back in that thread.
Just reading that subreddit thread is just sad...People clinging on last straws. It is not a pretty sight.
star citizen is basically a text based RPG that people play with their 'ORG' stuff and on their forums.
There are people who are in deep, for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
Money that could have paid for therapy to make their lives better, instead they've had to pay out the nose and then also debase themselves for years shilling for their "investment."
Only people with problems/illness were liable to spend that much in the first place, so its guaranteed to be and ugly spectacle.
Anyway I read last week maybe that Frontier had sold a small stake in their company to an outside conglomerate and that based on the share price and the size it valued the company at something like 250m dollars.
This is substantially more than the haul space citizen has bilked, even with the extremely aggressive money-grubbing and nickel and diming.
It goes to show that good honest work developing a game like normal people do, with the basics perfected first and then expanded upon leads to real and lasting success, and the good folks behind Elite Dangerous should be given a lot of props for what they've achieved.

There's good reason for that - and this is part of reason why SC crowd irks me. I have respect for people who enjoy being part of both communities, but SC community is full of gamers who have no clue how things work. For me making biggest space game is a marathon. Most prepared will most likely to win. Yes, FD ain't perfect, and they have some explaining to do about future of ED as they change from seasons model to something different, but overall they seem to be working toward specific goals and targets and are quite aware what they want to achieve. It might be not what 'walking around in space suit while pew pewing friends' crowd want right now, but FD goal is create unified game for everyone to play, not just for 'GTA V in space' crowd.
It is huge, it is complex, lot of things breaks on regular basis. But it is there as actual game. And there's good reason why it's like that - because people behind ED actually know what they are doing.
Sorry mate can't rep you, but here have some virtual rep +1
Oh my! After the post earlier today sifting through the 2015 thread to pick some cherries, I decided to take a look further back to before I started following the thread (v4).
Some of the opinions at around November 2014 make fabulous reading now, in a time-capsule sort of way. There is one specific very pro-SC guy (not naming and shaming) who cannot seem to understand the difference between what "is" and what "might be in the future" when describing the game.
This is so far back in time that 1500 was polite to people! (kinda kidding )
Amazing that back then SC's moddable private servers, including the much-vaunted and still for sale "modder's manual" were being pushed as a reason why SC would rise as the premier space game, the one that keeps its features and promises...

I think the back-analysis of this project will rumble on for some years to come. Maybe the disemination of "what went wrong". Maybe it could teach a whole semester of Project Management 101?
Edit: I wish the forum search would show all my past posts so I could jump to them.. sigh sadly not, it seems to just point what threads they are in and not what pages they are on.
Edit 2: I was looking for my prediction posts of what would happen, wanted to see how accurate I was LOL

I think a certain Dr. is going to write a book about it.

It is some serious black humour material how we have gone from "they will add everything in 1.0, just you see" (and ohh yes, we original ED crowd felt in similar trap by own design too) or "they will have amazing balls in 3.0" to basically begging "just release SOMETHING CIG!".
It's not like Chris has failed on some of his KS goals. No. He have failed on ALL of them so far. What a mess.

Hello
First Post! :smilie:
BTW todays episode of Game of Thrones is bloody brilliant. To stay on topic and not get banned its juxtaposition of the SC devs power struggle is tremendous and is cleary a plagiarism of ATV

Thanks
I created this forum logon to discuss Elite when it first came out. Little did I realise I'd end up spending most of my time in this thread rather than Elite! I tend to stay in Offtopic for most of the time lol.Anyway, I'm still not sure how to search properly, maybe someone can PM with the details.
What's the latest going on. I had a quick look at the Concern and General sections of RSI, but there wasn't anything of note reading. Has there been any updates?
I noticed BoredGamer was doing some updates that were basically fluff, with no information. Any news/progress? Titbits?

Also, I thought I'd share. Whilst waiting in the hospital for a loved one's appointment, I stumbled across an Edge Article on Star Citizen from waay back in 2015. It was interesting and lulzworthy. Amazing to see what they expected the game would be like. All flashy graphic images and wild imagineering.
It's a shame there isn't an online version for others to read. If so, it's probably behind a paywall or something.
Update : It was from 2014 - this one: https://play.google.com/store/newss...magazineissue-CAAqBwgKMLufoQEw6s7OAQ&hl=en_GB

For what it's worth - I have a new rig build that the customer will pick up tomorrow. Quite tasty!
Part of it's burn-in test will be Star Citizen, if anyone wants to join in the lulz
As easy as that DOH! Thanks Bob, I was going through my profile page

You may have a job similar to the one that I resigned from 2 weeks ago.
Mine was fixing PC's that we had sold to people, But mainly I just had to explain to them how to actualy make them work. It seems rude when you do it, but 99% of computer errors are software errors and 99% of software errors are user errors. (99% being an approximation)
On dress down days people would recognise my SC T shirt, but not my Onion Head T shirt. ( I just spoilt it now didn't I)

Perhaps - but I do PC builds purely as a hobby - there's not many members of the general public who want to buy mainframe components
Star Citizen is actually quite a good test. It runs just as bad on an i3 as it does on a 32 core monster.

You mean they haven't actually written it as multi-threaded code? Really? If it's a monlithic single-threaded program, then this is going to be really bad and stone age and will craaaawwwl. Those 15fps screenshots we see are gonna be the norm?
