Wow the BBC report made it look more like a finished game. I was expecting something fluffy but they went full on advertisement. Should bring in a bucket load of cash from people thinking it's as good as the footage they showed and fully playable.
Here's the sum total of hard pressing questions they had to ask:
"hey Chris, what's going on?"
Not once did they ask why he thought continued crowd funding was necessary, they failed to raise a single point about his previous statements on this project against reality, not one question about ship prices & money making tactics, nothing about release dates, nothing about the state of the project and failed deadlines, the quality of the alpha, the missing star systems, the problems with technical debt and scale/network etc.
just "hey what's going on?" and let Chris re-pitch it again, followed by the BBC presenter summing up "it's easy to be critical" poor Chris - keep the cash rolling in so he can make Red Dead Redemption without having to put out anything that sales on it's own merits or has to be accountable for anything he's ever said to get cash.
So well done BBC and CIG on a nice bit of advertising in addition to Roberts using my tax money to pay for his game throught the UK tax relief initiative he's now using my TV licence to get free advertising.
