From watching that I'm reminded and can see why people are drawn to star citizen, so many nice views. But it just makes it all the worse that it all only flatters to deceive. It's not just that Elite doesn't have earth-likes/full atmospheric planets, the mountains definitely look better in SC, but given the scope of having an entire galaxy to hand compared to a few planets, and add the fact that there is an actually functioning game underpinning it, Elite wins every time, despite the ooh and ahh fluffy clouds that contain the dashed dreams of many who believed in this in the beginning, and have been (and continue to be) strung along for over a decade. As the saying goes, one game you can actually play in hand is worth two vertical slice pipe dream demos / vaporware (star citizen / squadron 42), in the er... bush.

She doesn't mention the Skunkworks - from what I recall way back when she lead her band of merry men into Star Citizen.
Four years is a long time for the game; she must've seen all the stuff.
And apparently all the stuff that's been added in the past four years isn't enough to keep the inspiration going.
Creator burnout can be a thing, she has been going for years. Its also can't be easy dealing with bugs to make the content.

Also, back in 2021:
Then, ED Steam peaks player count:
(just in Steam, the total number is probably around double that)
Oh well, at least she had a good run, o7 cmdr.

The sub is still convinced that this is the most 'stable' SC has ever been. And I think they might be right. Twitch-land suggests a certain relative robustness. (No runs of server recoveries, no endemic login problems, etc). So long as you stay away from the main mission areas it also looks relatively performant.
But it's all just drawing back a veil on the many gnarly bugs stuffed into corners and massing at the games core...
Here's an innocent man flying to his inexplicable doom:
Here's an invisible Polaris chastising a Connie...
Here's Mike trying to use a panel...
(That's the panel you're supposed to use to avoid the 'ship spawns in a mess of mating metal' series of bugs
)
People are still falling through planets, getting sent to the middle of the sun by the jump point, or just contorting cosmetically.
These are the truly stable SC experiences

Possibly exemplified best by these tales...

CIG's cycle is fast.
Last patch's event now has venerable old bugs... to go with the new ones...

You wouldn't pirate a meme!
Nope on concurrency. (My guess would be it's down from patch launch, and helping stability
. But Twitch & reddit are still pretty active).Nobody's checking server stats on Twitch, but I'd guess the event servers are still over capacity. PvP & PvE look poor etc. (The PES stuff is falling over for both too, but in theory that's a global service).

The Scythe was originally designed by the great Jim Martin as the Dralthi for what became the Star Citizen pitch. It predated me but I ended up building the lore and coming up with the excuses to sell it... again and again and again... [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I presume he is talking about a different Jim Martin
CIG has promoted all the Jnrs. Chrissy's empire is generational
(Final stats are in for the April promotion boom...)
Let's hope they got more than £400...

It´s not just the issue of cheating per se, which on its own is just appalling. The interetsing part is realizing how most of the cheats described are enabled thanks to the game bugs, broken physics, glitches etc and overall crappy code.
I really don't understand why people keep putting themselves through this horrible quagmire of bugs, glitches and exploits with no end in sight. Guess deep down inside, they're still desperately hoping it will get better.
