The only thing not difficult for CIG is syphoning gullible wallets.

Yeah, lies are easy. That's why they keep spamming them.

 

[Viajero]

They also think no other game has 'real time' travel between planets (<cough> Apex taxi, SC Assist etc)

Indeed. "hard to do" he says. For CIG for sure, yes.

When you employ a legion of graphical artists it's natural that they would find coding anything hard.

Hadn't seen this take on recent personnel exits from SC:

Mike & Space only focus on Todd Papy, and mainly think his removal might be behind CiG planning to put more stuff in 3.23? I wasn't really aware that anyone thought Todd was the bad guy in all this

 

[Viajero]

By focusing only on Todd Pappy they seem to be completely missing the point that it is not just him. There seems to have been a number of other devs leaving, seemingly non voluntarily over the past year or so. CIG being CIG that is probably the tip of the iceberg. How do we reconcile that with a company that has allegedly had its best funding year ever?

The fewer Devs the more money available to line pockets?

Game-dev-understander finds their way to the Refunds sub:

'NOV 2023 IAE "player" now beginning to see why...'

Also, being a former software engineer in the games industry, I get public alphas. But 4 months of SC it feels like a demo. Reading the history about SC is tedious, but the patch info on what is "happening" for the next drop seems, well, like absolutely nothing is really going to change much. Economy? What economy? Cryengine won't do any of this promised stuff, so where's the engine?

No, it's good for Star Ciisn't. Less artists means more money for pipelines and real development!
Though I have a feeling it might not just be artists - you need perfect pixel placement for all the flashy trailers and concept ships.

Anyone can become the bad guy in a Dictatorship. The state just needs to sanction it and the talking heads will speak the party line.

SC is a mile deep and inch wide

Seems like an apt description of a vertical slice.

Spawn test...

Oh Mike.

"I don't care".

Nothing can ever be bad for Star Citizen, can it?

Well, if there is nothing, it can neither be good nor bad.

It's early days after all, development hasn't even started yet!

[Asp Explorer]

What about hyperbolic assertions and baseless claims toward development of CI-G products supposed to release in 2014?

Using time-warp in Kerbal Space Program is optional. Just leave the computer running for a few years and see if you'll still remember what that "capture burn" entry in your calendar was supposed to mean. That's real time interplanetary travel in a space simulator.
