And maybe a series of hidden surprise trapdoors so they can behave like SC ships where you just randomly drop through the floor without warning!
Lol no.
They have sold ~5 million copies (base game+expansions) and even working on the idea that each of those is sold at full price, they have "only" made $250 million. I seriously doubt they have made another $250 million from their $3 ship skin sideline.
Companies build portfolios. I mean this is just kindergarten level business 101.
Plus, they need to share with platform owners.
I'd be fine with "distribution channel". "Platform owner" sounds a bit extortionate.
Chris' mentor from his EA days is now working on a blockchain MMO. I wonder if they will team up again with cross-promotion goods?
See you in the NFT 'verse!
I mean, in case of Xbox and Playstation, these are literally platform owners.
"Toot, toot!" is a popular expression among kids. I did it too. I know what you're thinking now: "Germans and their anal fixations...", but hear me out: It's nothing like that. It is how we imitate sirens and horns. "Honk, honk!" Maybe Ortwin did it with some Lego models and Chris totally misunderstood he wanted the bowel mechanics.
Yes, I know. Just I find charging for plying on a console extortionate. I'm fine when they sell the game and provide services like updates, community features. I hear you need to subscribe and pay fees just to enable MP. It is an alien concept to me.
"Platform owner" is accurate:
- Sony owns Playstation
- Microsoft owns Xbox
- Valve owns Steam
- Epic owns Epic Launcher
- Facebook owns Oculus Launcher
Xbox and Steam isn't the same thing, though. Steam is a sales platform - not a hardware device to play games on. Like Epic.
Steam is a software platform. Any software sold through it, including supplementary DLCs and add-ons like cosmetics, gives a revenue share to the platform-owner Valve.
Yes, but I don't need to pay steam a sub to play Foxhole next year. They get a share of the sales and that is fine.
Wait, did they add the long promised newtonian flight model in 3.17 ? Cant wait to test that.
That's exactly why we fund CIG. Because no other company wants to deal with this sort of bugs. They all stick to the easy way.
Ho boy, you still haven't understood that all SC players spend a LOT of time inside ships doing gameplay and other stuff ? That this time inside ships is in fact enjoyable and that it's something you want to do in SC ? You still think that ships interiors in SC have zero gameplay/social/roleplay value ?
For all SC players : the 97th time makes we wish we never again want to jump/teleport straight to the cockpit...
In fact you have absolutly no clue why some ED players left for SC and why interiors are so important...
I'm really confused by what you call a timesink in a game. Do you think the travel time from system to system in ED is also a timesink that should be removed by a direct teleport to the final destination system ? Because it makes you loose a lot of your precious time... Or at least a teleport midway (= loosing only half of your precious time) ?

You can't change the fundamentals of a game just like that. Stuff like that has to be designed from the start. It is time to finally accept that.
No, the just made up the tier 0 version of it and called it a day.
Star Citizen: I wouldn't mind if the gameplay is basic. That can be improved later.
