Pertaining to the law, they declared the product was delivered. Now they live ship sale to ship sale, and by milking a few investors. The game engine is still a "future hope" with major parts not even planned. The physics engine is a joke, it can become a meme that represents the whole situation. But look ! Shiny 3D assets !
As for DS, he used to lurk around these parts, and even post some of his thoughts which did provide quite a bit of entertainment, but i guess the fun is over and he's moved on.
Cue montage of the hilarious peak of Star Citizen/DS drama a few years back set to sappy music. I was glued to these threads, there was something completely bonkers every other day it seemed. I would read out highlights to a friend and girlfriend who would convulse with laughter.
"People used to laugh more then... there were concerts in the park."
Whereas now, bit more grim innit? Time for Jason Scheirer to win his Pulitzer doing a series on Star Citizen for Bloomberg.

I noted in the latest Star Citizen Live offering that Todd Papy dropped a mention of CR dropping the odd 'note' to the dev leads about how the development was going. Jared joked about CR referring to some dev manager in some department or other to fend it off...but CR dropping notes rather than micromanaging every minutae of his project?
If anyone had any doubts that the beginning of year 'planning week' involved some major detriment toward the future development of both Sqn42 and the PU, it doesn't take much reading between the lines to figure it out. I find it strange that nobody seemed to take note of Ci¬G even mentioning a planning week, one that turned into a month of complete restructuring, massive removals of practically all major content from the proposed roadmap and the start of complete radio silence...not the first time ever in the history of it's development of course, but the first time they've ever publicly mentioned a beginning of year planning phase as an excuse for lack of content..
This project is being run by the marketing and PR departments...sadly, it reminds me of the PR whitewash after the war in Iraq. They gave the army a budget of £20,000 to build a school for Iraqi children...unfortunately, most of the children the school was being built for were dead or dying of cholera in the streets and their parents were so poor and devastated by the war they were breaking into the site and stealing the copper pipes and electrical wiring to barter for food on the black market...something that the government focus groups from the safety of their westernised hotel rooms failed to notice.

Is there a link for that?
Do you mean that is what CIG argued? Or that that is what the judge ruled? Or both?
The closest I can think of was the… 3.0? maybe? planning — they had made a huge splash at one of the cons about how it would be out before the end of the year, and then nothing. Some time in February the following year, they mentioned that they had had a sit-down in January to plan what would go into the 3.0 release. At the time, they were ridiculed for starting their planning six months after they had announced that it would be out in three months, but it certainly fits a very similar pattern.
Thanks mate...I was too lazy to supply the direct reference
The infamous "Weeks, not months" statement from CR. I remember it well since I refunded my first account not long after

LOL, I remember that...and the famous "the pledge"...
How ironic that Chris Roberts seems to have become an "Arm chair developer"
He should pledge for a starter ship and sit on Spectrum all day instead of bugging the developers with "notes"
This made me laugh. In prison a lot of the felons converse via notes, mafia bosses in hiding used to converse via notes and here's Chris Roberts, not seen since the beginning of the year, conversing via notes.... no doubt shacked up in his mansion just like Ghislaine Maxwell, before she got apprehended
Not if they switch over the hexadecimal in the near future
Yeah, but unfortunately, that doesn't result in a releasable product.
Hells bells, that's upvoted! I thought i'd never see the day.
I would imagine Chris is 'giving notes' using the film-making / Hollywood meaning
after all, Chris is very big in Hollywood, or sothey he says
after all, Chris is very big in Hollywood, or so
Ah, a crew member of the Red Dwarf!
It would've made more practical sense if this worked in the cosmetic way Chesko's Frostfall/Campfire mod works in Skyrim. The cosmetic look of your character changes dynamically as you equip/unequip gear/weapons/food and other items from your virtual inventory. So if your character was holding a lantern, then used a hot key to unequip it to storage in their virtual inventory. You'd physically see it appear on whatever inventory slot on your belt you designated for it (right hip, front right side etc). Same for a utility tool/weapon like a pick axe that had a designated spot cosmetically attached to your back pack. Dropping either of these items caused them to cosmetically vanish from your PC's equipped appearance. No need for complex, unnecessary coding like literally animating putting junk into an ammo locker. Then being forced to do an entirely unnecessary walk simulator to stow said container on your ship/vehicle etc. This feature is going to be fun to implement in a TOW zone. Such a complete waste of dev coding time and labor hours.
I'm finding it increasingly hard to believe NONE of the SC devs can't yet see the writing on the wall as 2020 draws to a close. Why haven't any of the SC devs revolted on this frightening degree of project mismanagement as yet? Don't they understand the longer they spend on this sinking ship, the more they damage their careers and credibility in the industry as game devs? Being an over zealous, rabid fan boi is one thing. But it's hard to believe these devs make a daily habit drinking the poison Kool Aid. Simply by default of their close and frequent proximity to the Pied Piper
School girls also like to pass around notes.This made me laugh.

CR directing development via notes could be because of social distancing but the restructuring is interesting.
