Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Chances are CIG is waiting on their final decision (and any eventual re-negotiations for returns) before doctoring the reports comments accordingly.

The weird thing with the delay is this is only for 2023. Any recent Calder decisions won't be at play.

I guess the audit may flag the put option again though.

Alongside any clear cut contraction in workforce etc I'd guess those are elements they'd prefer to keep out of backers minds. (Especially if they're linked ;))

(I guess there's always the chance that the Calders got some 'don't go' sweeteners in 2023 that can't be kept off the books?)
 
Fun thread, since Elite is mentioned. Spicy comments.


Looks like some SC backers still haven't heard of SCO drives yet.

Hot take:



Ah, buggy elevators are "you problem" rather than a developer problem.

Not persistent ship:

I love how the responses that include Elite always have to have a casual derogatory descriptor to them with varying degrees of venom, the 'small community', 'immensely simpler'.. etc. etc. Someone who claimed to have over 1,000 hours in Elite but seems not to know much about it might seem strange, but leaving the launcher open counts as play time for Steam. I have almost 7000 hrs in the game according to Steam, but I'd say at least 30% of that is from not closing the launcher after quitting the game. so for me I'd take that number with a grain of salt.

I have no ill will towards ED but they are clearly not in the same league.

LOL, Frontier is definitely not in CIG's league for something, that's for sure. Just remember; Stellar Forge, easy peasy, Newtownian orbital mechanics.. cincharooni. All things that are so trivial that CIG have put them on the bottom of the list as they can implement all of that the night before the game goes gold. I mean, let's be real here...

A game made by losers who wish their game was Star Citizen.

Oh.

Indeed those shouldn’t have any bearing on 2023 figures at all. Unless CIG decides to recognize the debt liability in the books as they should and which they haven’t done since 2018… It’s rather about the comments about it that CIG may add to the UK report (like they did last year after the auditor probably forced their hand), potential auditors qualifications, and trying to square the circle with whatever they show in the “blog”.

LOL, yes, FD clearly wish they were stuck in development hell 13 years after kickstarter, who wouldn't be?
 
Roadmap Rounded Up!


... and they unredacted the things they redacted last time (because they're in the PTU). And added a card to 1.0 for 'sound in unpressurised environments'

I can see why people are hooked ;)
 
A rare actual 'alpha test'...

...temporarily reduced the Collector mission requirements to about 10% of what will be normally needed.

 
"Absolutely. Well, if you assume 1.0 is the end of development. Which no rational person would think."
Wasn't Star Citizen sold on the promise that it was a one and done, no day one patch and unfinished MVP?
Things change, and plans change, but they sure do change a lot at CIG.

"When you say "if things don't go well" do you mean the funding stops? Because they obviously wouldn't continue developing the game without money."
And Chris Roberts said at least once or twice they hadenough money to finish the game.

Edit:
"And the original 100 Starsystem had a total of 90 planetary landing zones, that you landed via cinematic."
Like Starfield? Hmmm, citizens really have a tendency of talking down other games but ignores Star Citizen fails to do better.

I think about this a lot when I see people playing partially complete gameplay in the PTU. Nothing says 'one and done' louder than streamers wandering around areas with 'Replace This' markers all over the place :D

Edit: I was skipping through Berks VODs from yesterday trying to find that section and I swear 90% of the time he was at the launch screen waiting to join. But hey - no loading screen!

Also, a crowdfunded initiative is by definition based in the offered content to be present on the 1.0 launch, not whenever the heck the developer decides after 1.0. Unless it was clearly stated otherwise and carved out of the crowdfunding scope.
  • Car buyer: Hey! I bought this car and when you delivered it to me the car is missing the steering wheel, the electric system and the gear box. This is a scam!
  • Seller: Well, only if you assumed that the delivery date is the end of the fabrication process. which no rational person would think.
Having said that, CIG broke all of those commitments anyways when they decided to release SC as Early Access back in 2017. Once a game is released in Early Access there is no further obligations or commitments of any kind. The product is sold as is.
