I agree it's not valid as MSFS2020 has gone live after 'only' six months of alpha/beta testing, and is being validly reviewed and critiqued.
So do let me know where SC is after 8+ years of <some form of alpha-pre-post-ante-roadmap-map-road-alpha> 'testing'..... .....coz it ain't live.
As for SQ42... ...well that is "hilarious".
I haven't looked into the details so maybe it's a different story, but I'd have expected to see Camelot Unchained in here (the saviour of faction pvp!!1!). That one must have some great insider stories too.
But comparing SC to the whole lot, I'm impressed by the scale and continuous nature of the funding. Just look at SotA which was its twin. Despite the fact that SotA "released", things look pretty grim for them by comparison, what with their beg-a-thon events to keep the servers running, by devs working from home because it was "more efficient". If nothing else, CIG have shown that they know how to find money. Even with the alleged mismanagement and running on fumes, they still managed to get the Calder cash, so it's not just random gamers that they can convince. It'll make a hell of a documentary if we ever get one, Bootcha's series is already amazing and that's with him not knowing everything and the saga still being ongoing...
The sheer amount of drama and the dozens of peculiar characters give it that epic miniseries feel that keeps us coming back for more.
It's nowhere near as entertaining as it used to be a few years ago, tho. It hit such exhilarating, giddy heights of insanity. My god, the letter he wrote to The Escapist! Bring back the Roberts family!
WE WANT THE VISION
release the mushmouth!

I always thought that anyone in the art side of SC would be able to find another job. The rest of them I am not so sure about.
It's a given that I'm merely a simple peasant who relies on his hands, a few spanners and a certain depth of knowledge acquired over decades to make things work that were formerly broken...maybe I just don't understand game development after all
You don't, but I don't blame you. Most non-critical software is like that, just fix it on the go.
Then there's critical software, like for planes and rockets ands tuff. And there... man, the tests. Heard that an upgrade can take a year or more to check and implement.
Well, there comes a time in every dev's life when they are worth more to the company as Soylent Green. It happened to Ben. It is happening to Erin. Chris might be next if he doesn't get that weight under control.
This is spam.
Think about it!
Funny post from someone over on Steam when the topic of Star Citizen came up.
I once worked on <can't name names> and it spent more than a year being run in fully live/parallel, such was the level of concern that nothing should go wrong. The level of code reviews and walk-throughs were incredible and actually very reassuring.
Similarly the year of effort for Y2K for frankly nearly the whole IT dapartment was amazing. At that point my job was pretty easy as I was in charge of the teams running the real-time-data systems where Y2K concerns were largely irrelevant. The odd thing for me was that I'd been writing Y2K compliant coding since I started (way back on COBOL), as had (as best I knew) everyone else, so I was a bit confounded by all the paranoia tbh. Still, I got an obscene bonus for turning up to work at 7am January 1st 2000 and sitting at my desk for three days playing solitaire. Driving through London that morning was like the opening scene to 28 Days Later, albeit festooned with an utterly unbelievable number of empty champagne bottles. Hilariously I got a parking ticket!
As an aside, I still chuckle at the reported reply from 'Indonesia Power' when asked about their Y2K planning. They broadly said that they'd see what went wrong in Australia on the day, and then fix their systems as the day went ont. Having spent some time over there I kind of liked their attitude, although I'd probably have been less keen if I'd been living in Indonesia on the day.
It only needs the consent of the victim for handcuffing and beating someone to get from crime to Best Damn Space Malarkey
Ok when some fills a small claim because EU law says no product shipped = refund and the company hiding behind a wall of shell companys all over the world to avoid refunds there is no criminal intention? You mean this is normal business? I say it again it was no scam from the beginning but it turned into a scam.

Erin has been MIA even longer than CR if I recall correctly.

)There's a lot of truth in that statement though. The game each person really wants to play doesn't exist, we make do with what's available.
What a silly question. The answer is no.
Quantum computing on a broad scale will happen (if at all) in the future.
SC is already outdated -- it's in the past.
Something that happens in the future can not cause something in the past (not even related to quantum mechanics since this line of causality operates on a macro-level timescale).

Only if you must produce quality product. CI-G has no such obligations, so it iterates and updates bugs:
It takes time to put that many roads on the map, this is why the delay
This is fine, their job there is done.
If one speculates about product launch and goes wrong, product hits the ground. Not the desired outcome.
If one speculates about deorbit burn and goes wrong, product hits the ground too, but in this case it is the desired outcome!
Maybe they should be more concerned about FTL travel being discovered before SC is even released?
