Even this is debatable as we're yet to see them elsewhere than few seconds in trailers. Since long my guess is some (many) actors pulled out from the mess and required their image (and maybe their motion performances) not being ingame anymore.

Huh you are correct, CIG isnt really pushing that narrative anymore OR shows any footage with known faces.....

Hence the alleged multiple reshoots, the time and money spent on facial animation retargetting tech (though of course this one is not the only and first reason for developing this tech, but a useful collateral benefit)

Everybody knows that drugs and alcohol or smoking is bad for you. Yet you see people consuming them for various reasons. They think they got it under control or "figured out". They disregard reality and dismiss scientific facts and they often become agressive when you try to protect them from their own self-destructive behavior.

As a smoker i know its bad and i haven't got it under control or have it figured out. Addiction is a nasty beast and hard to beat. I've been "quitting" smoking for about the last half a year. Quitting and failing.

I dont agree with nepotism any more than I think it had a significant impact on the game so the pragmatic reason for being upset about it doesnt exist as far as I can tell and the principle of the matter is below my radar.

Chris started out being dishonest and has only gone downhill from there. Also, I'd assume spending backer money on incompetent executives would I think be a concern? How are they going to get to 100 star systems when there are no moons or planets on their roadmap, 8 years into production? How could anyone see this basic fact and decide to give this project money?
I wonder if you put in lots of money early...

🤣 My contribution is zero. Just like Bitconnect, I know a scam when I see one.

What the hell has that lot got to do with playing a game and enjoying the experience?

He said he didn't feel "mislead". Since Chris has lied from the beginning, he should perhaps reevaluate that sentiment and look for Chris' other misleading behavior. You may acknowledge Chris as a conman, but that doesn't mean we can't reference this to other new posters.

Second system coming any time now. Just as soon as they implement the tech to allow more content to be added. Just you wait and see you FUDster!

I look forward to Pyro being added with 4.0 in 2017 right alongside farming! I'm so hyped for farming!

@ECity may correct me if I am wrong but I suspect the point he was trying to pass with those token facts was twofold: That the CIG team composition and competence to reasonably deliver this has always been compromised starting from the top (this goes way beyond Chris Roberts wife) and that as a business they can’t be trusted. You may be aware of that, and probably fully know by now the “seeds” CIG planted are rotten. But @Ca$hback has just arrived allegedly and seems to suffer from some typical new arrival misconceptions and dreams.txt.

I'm sure he's a grown up and doesn't need too much net nannying. I took that as a prerequisite for buying into Star Citizen at any level...as much as there are more than a few who are quite content to assume any such action places us in the realms of the weak and feeble minded. Reading his posts, I gathered that apart from the initial Star Citizen newbie factor, his comments and views are pretty balanced overall...compared to mine which are jaded and cynical. Perhaps if he were more cynical he wouldn't have illicited the "But we know better than you." attitudes?

New posters doesn't mean new targets for a particular form of almost religious flagellation. Like I mentioned, I'm sure he's an adult and more or less fiscally responsible. I still maintain that enjoying the gameplay, what little of it there is, is is totally irrelevant of Ci¬G's business practises, company nepotism and financial mismanagement...I'm more than aware of all of this, as are many others... but it doesn't prevent us from occasionally enjoying what precious little gameplay there is in Star Citizen.

You may watch endless streams of folks playing Star Citizen...as of yet, I haven't quite worked out exactly why that is considering you watch and follow Star Citizen more closely than most backers I know...but some of us are more concerned with playing what's there rather than being obsessively focussed on the company, it's behaviours and characters behind it...that's in the realms of watching soap opera, not playing games.

Perhaps if you attempted some participation before decrying others that have or do partake I'd take you more seriously...hell, I'll even gift you a starter package so you could at least say you've played for an hour before continuing the ranting. As it is now, it's like me playing FIFA 20 as I do then considering myself an expert on football...being a life long rugby player, I have no idea nor any interest on how football works outside of EA's version of it, but I do at least play the virtual game.
