……..These predictions come to you from the person who predicted CIG would not last out 2018, so what do I know.
Well they changed their name to CI. So I guess you got it right.

Regards the asset stripping, there is also the possibility of whatever tax strategy and needs the investors have at the moment calling for a loss of millions (even if mostly loss on paper).I have a few predictions for the new year. *
1. The drive by posters who drop in to tell us how awesome SC is and how much fun they have with their mates (but they didn't get to video any of it because... reasons), will start dropping in again. This time round though they will be telling us what a fantastic time they had playing solo. Still no vids though.
2. As soon as CIG have something they can push out as a (bit of) SQ 42 test, it will be available for download to the faithful, to run on the local PC, no servers needed.
3. The SC servers will be scaled down or switched off altogether (to save money). Either CIG will say something like 'we need more people testing SQ 42 so we are taking SC off line for now' or they will say nothing at all.
4. Ship (or land or house or tank or SOMETHING) sales for SC will continue even though you wont be able to get in to the game at all anymore.
Of course this will all depend on the Crytek case not ending the company or the new 'investors' not closing the whole thing down to asset strip it to make their profit.

Yay Vapid, I think missiles are mainly working now!![]()
Well, they found the ship. They just don't know what to do with it, yet.![]()
Shows that the roadmap is just right when stuff gets to where it's supposed to go. Always nice to see when things come together .
Maybe the list is basically endless so it would be too long to bother with?
LOL, thanks for that.
Win at what? Releasing a game? Its amazing, but gaming companies release games all the time. A few seem to struggle with this concept though, CIG among them.
Wise words. Even fans should be skeptical to some extent, although perhaps not to the same extent as some of us
A realist
Ah, one of those... development really only started in XXXX.... but just to hedge his bets....
And that is only the first few posts.
Pure gold.
You should read through the rest of it instead of skimming
There are more realists in that one thread than there are fanbois....I've been reading the thread with great interest. As with most things on Spectrum, once the negative vibes continue get more up votes than the cultist drivel, the mods move the thread to a quiet corner of Spectrum where it won't upset them any longer.
To be fair by the time the thread was linked there were mostly mind-gymnastic and fanatical replies to it, it has considerably grown to include the more reasonable voices since ^^
Literally, apparently.
I think the problem is that the missiles are by nature gentle creatures. So given no further orders, they just want to cuddle.![]()
Spectrum always looks like a cultist echo chamber to the casual observer because of the moderation...or rabid censorship... which is a more accurate description. I don't post in there often but when I do, I find my usual tack of confronting the fanboy nonsense directly gets my posts very quickly upvoted to the top...then the entire thread either gets deleted, closed or shifted.
I've not been banned this time around...yet. I guess I'm just not trying hard enough![]()
You guys should see the concierge sections of Spectrum. Sometimes it is very, uh, special as far as cultist echo chambers go.
