Do you have any proof that they can finish this game? Any previous games that CIG have released that have shown them capable of handling a game say... 10% of the size of this game?

Do you have any proof that the director of this company can finish this game? Say going back 25 years worth of history to give him a really wide window - what games within that period has the director released that came in on time and fulfilling all their claims under his personal direction/command?

I think this is important to pin down so we can establish a baseline to determine how much proof we should have to provide that they cannot do this.

So all of this rides solely on CR? Not his entire team? He may be the boss, but he has a good team working for him. Some of which have worked for some great games which have been released.

What version can you fire up and play today, and when was it released?

If they’re really doing iterative development, you shouldn’t have these gaps where nothing new comes out. You should have the team that was working on item 2.0 delivering while the team that works on planetary terrain plugs away in the background. Why is planet tech holding up inventory?

So really, we can only CONCLUSIVELY say that they’re bringing in money. Hey might as well be converting it to gold coins and pretending to be Scrooge McDuck for all we can benefit of it today. When they host a 3.0 free fly, then they get some credit for their work from me. It still doesn’t explain why there’s been so long between updates though.

You know what does explain it though? Horrible management of the project.

I can play Star Citizen Alpha. And lets leave it at that for now.

3.0 was originally 2.7

It's over a year late.
And a year late is 11 months too much.



No...CIG was set up in 2010. Development started in 2011. Kickstarter in 2012. Third partys were hired in 2013. F42 in 2014

Chris, Erin and Ortwin spent 2010 "choosing office furniture, hiring their old workmates from Digital Anvil and investigating how to set up a tax-efficient software development company" as you put it.

Given CIG was essentially set up to create SC, it also implies even that 2011 date is late and that the pre-production phase of development actually started in 2010...or even earlier.

No, 3.0 was not originally 2.7. That was a falsehood spread by another "developer".

So you want a screenshot of my account?

No but I am calling rubbish on your having bought an SSD to run Star Citizen. I think you're trolling, trying to get a rise out of people by hinting you've got the Intel optane drive because you know how laughable folks round here have found the idea that someone would spend £379 to get a limited edition non-existent spaceship.

That's why there were two questions. So since you accept that you can't provide any such proof from him:
Do you have any proof that they can finish this game? Any previous games that CIG have released that have shown them capable of handling a game say... 10% of the size of this game?

Where did i say i bought an SSD to run SC? Oh thats right, i didn't. Ive been running SSDs as my primary non-flat file storage for years now. Lemme know how that translates into having an Optane. News flash, not all SSDs are Optanes. I actually run Samsung 950 Pros (250 gb). Stop making assumptions and trying to put words in my mouth

Yo yo @Evil_Merlin can you pls. be so kind and make some video of you playing SC and heaving a lot of FUN.....I am really eager to see what is exactly"FUN"in there for you,because whenever I tried SC I always failed to have any kind of FUN.....well....maybe except if I run on some of those silly "BUGS"...they could be FUN for a while......

So how long before there are actual professions I wonder. For them to have meaning then there has to be gameplay to support them. So when do we get gameplay, like trading, piracy, salvage, mining, bounty hunting etc. 4.0? 5.0? The merest suggestion that 3.0 might be the MVP is disgusting. There is nothing to do!
