Heh, looks like even the subreddit mods are having a go at trolling CIG for the lack of news about the state of SQ42 and its supposedly imminent beta.

30K joke video on the sc reddit.

If you dig down you will see the inevitable dig at ED, because you need to compare to something you think is crap to make SC look good in comparison
Also, for some reason, the mods have stickied this thread...

Can't help but laugh at the "Star Citizen has stopped working. Windows is reporting the problem to Microsoft"
I can just imagine their reaction

Well played.
Ah, so it's Microsoft's fault.

Unsuitable first generation tech for a game that is meant to handle thousands of players.... 8 years in.
What an absoloute embarrasment.
Perhaps they should have focused on getting the tech right when the decided they were making a massive online game.
I think that this is a very real concern. My hope is that without the Master of Meddling in charge that the technical leads can get on doing what they know needs to be done, and doing it correctly. The obvious problem would be if they have to rip out too much of what's already been done, is there the time, money and will to rework. Or does the horse have a broken leg?
E: and 'hilariously' and few posts down I find...
...time to call the vet?
As an aside, does anyone believe any delivery date given by CIG any more?

No but who knows? Once they start actually matching some of their deadlines that might change. Reliability or credibility ought to be earned

“we didn’t realize the impact that the first version of long-term persistence, activated in Alpha 3.8.1, would have on the size of the database fetches as we scaled up to unprecedented numbers of players.”Heard from Sean Tracy and Tony Z today.

The game is so successful that it is perceived as bad.
A simple simulation would probably have shown it. Also "long-term persistence", lol. "Short term" persistence isn't really persistent, or is it? Persistence IMPLIES long term. They are talking out their very rears.
For "years" the Backend team have been working "furiously" to fix the issues.
You see, I don't think this should take years. It is likely due to trying to duct-tape things falling apart instead of designing it properly from the start. "Furiously" my rear cleavage.

Just another example of CIG not having a clue about what they are trying to do or what they need to do in order to make the game they want.
and a couple of sessions in Eve Online would have taught them, or even reading a few trade articles on their backend SQL architecture, which used to be cutting edge (I've not seen what they're using recently - probably migrated to cloud?).

If only. I think it is much worst than that. I would place as much faith in CIGs account of actual player numbers as I would with their citizen or pledge counters. Never mind acknowkedge it as the main reason for the current mess. The thing seems to be fundamentally broken irrespective of any alleged player numbers.
There is no captain. But they are measuring regardless, since it pays the wages.
