Yeah that was the article. They had a video on YT where they talk about a lot of things, and this SC topic comes up at one point - they basically say they never have seen such an extreme fan base, it was a first for them, even though they did roast quite a few AAA titles by the past (they are not gentle or diplomatic haha) they never received hate mail about that.
Also these first page titles (especially the 2nd one) are quite scathing...
6 years and over 200 million 'tards?
Are there really that many in the world? And they all back Star Citizen? Explains a lot!
d
6 years and over €200m later. It's scathing, but more polite than you thought.
Hey, i'm a fan of etymology of words, and thinking now if the French word Tard is related to the English word Tardy.
I read it as 6 years and 200M later. But my French is appalling. Not sure what that makes yours
It's indeed the same word. The meaning has deviated in the English language though as it's now related to "mental retardation" only, but the word itself means the same thing (late / lateness).
(edit) dont even try and translate the sub titles. These are all puns based on purely French idioms. We could try and find equivalents in English but forget about word by word translation..
It's a latin word. tardus means slow.
I made it as far as the second paragraph where he's celebrating Chirs' Roberts ability to "take baby steps" and not "over to it", like we don't already live in a reality where there is literally nothing you could imagine about the past nine years of this project that could make a sane human think otherwise.
Back in the old bedroom days of gaming development people like Braben & Bell had to literally rewrite their own primative drawing algorithms in bare-metal machine code because the 8-bit machines they were using couldn't even draw lines fast enough using the stock methods, they also had to come up with imaginative ways to save tiny amounts of memory to write on the fly logarithm tables. These days people are apparantly impressed when a development studio with one of the largest budgets ever yoinked directly from the consumer, using a forked third party game engine might have to do some bespoke network code they would have to write a "custom C# script in unity for"..jeeze whoop-de-do
I thought it meant bigger on the inside.
When you're slow outside you can still be quick thinker and grow inside.

Pledge includes 20 years of pre-alpha?
Does that mean another 20 years on top of the 10 years the game has already been in pre-alpha?
...There you go, development of ED only really started in 2019! Take that Star Citizen!
Shall we start taking bets as to what Cobblers and Co have dreamed up to announce* in parallel with the ramp up and release of ED Odyssey?
*NB: Announce, not release.
And here I thought that it translates to English as " 6 years for me, I count from the reboot. "6 years and over €200m later. It's scathing, but more polite than you thought.
Chris has pledged that the game won't take another 10 years.
So, yeah, think it means 20 total...
(Honestly what the hell is that bit?

Photoshop I presume.
