If your companiy is reliant on whale crowdfunding money to well - exist, it's only logical to dedicate manpower for art to sell to whales, lol. No surprises there.(If it helps, gossip has it that SQ42 resources have often been drawn from the project to help make assets and movies with the other studios, to sell to whales. So that's nice)

How are they delivering less? Since the roadmap change there hasn't been a single patch deployed at all, lol.

Ach, I just swapped that out for a different set. (Figured I'd done enough 'lists of things that still aren't in the game'
)I guess VR has been deleted, so that came true...

I think immoral may be a few steps up, from where they currently are.
I imagine they will release another patch, but wouldn't that be fun if they didnt? Would that be considered less?
Ronzer : "I say they will deliver less!"
Ebob : "...there hasn't been a single patch deployed..."
Ronzer : "I stand corrected...they will not deliver anything!"
You win.

That a bug that kills? I mean, what a surreal question. Really an indictment about the game state in a nutshell.

It's one of the theories about ramp explosions. That wearing a backpack while walking down it causes the boom.
(Doubt it could have been the case here though, because he was already off and running. Maybe his passenger put something oversized in the fridge instead?
)The game's buggy, we've known it for years! Alpha! (And no, you dont have to copy your "but but 500 million, 10 years, management issues thing, I know!) Its just that you cannot for some reason comprehend that the game's an Alpha! Not finished!

No, no. I think it is actually just about you that cannot for some reason comprehend that there is nothing normal in an Alpha that has wasted 500 million over 10 years without releasing a single product. It is probably a record of misrepresentation, wasted resources and non delivery. To top it all off the fact that players are actually leaving the game and the community before even release is abysmally shameful.
No no no the product is released! Or is it! Or is it not.... Again 400 million over a decade is absolutely nothing! Warzone made a billion in the first week! It's not "normal" but, why should it be? Normal is boring!
Cope & Seethe! It is what is is, tons of players left ED before all of its promises were fulfilled! Even after 8 years in development it's still not delivered on all of them! Shameful! People leave games, did the thought that people actually live lives ever come to your mind? Crazy, I know! There's life beyond videogames! Some people want to engage in this life more than others, and thus, decide to stop playing a game! What an alien concept!
People sometimes have such unreasonable expectations...

Dude, I stopped playing ED quite some time ago, after spending 1000+ hours in it, all in awesome VR, going across the whole galaxy and back, getting all the ships and upgrading them to the max with engineer grind and so on. Why would we dwell on that ? Also, it was a released, complete game long ago, with complete game loops, and could run for a LONG time without crashing, hence the large amount of hours spent on it. As of today, 10 years later, half a billion dollars spent, I cant say I could do even 1/10th of that in SC since for starters there's NO BLEEPING VR, no complete game loop to speak of (unless you talk about random mindless pewpew which is not a game loop per se), cant even exit the very first star system, or do 99% of what was promised when i backed the kickstarter.
People dont even touch SC because there's barely anything to do in it, and that barely anything is utterly buggered.
Because they lied! They lied to the players! Scam! You can do cool things in Elite, yes you can, but you can do cool things in SC aswell. Why should I dwell on the negative things in SC either?
I have not crashed since 3.13! Released and complete! That's cool and all, but where's all the promised stuff! I can also release a barebones game and proclaim its very good!
There's people with lots of hours in SC, they may be masochists, but they enjoy their time! Random pewpew is a complete gameloop! Mining is a completete gameloop!
Curious. You proclaim nobody touches SC, yet they smash their yearly funding records - every year!

Activision delivered Warzone. CIG has not released a single game but has wasted 450+ millions. There is indeed nothing normal is wasting all that money and not release a single product in over 10+ years.
Are you ok friend?
ED is a released game, almost 8 years old with 2 paying DLC and multiple ones released at not added cost. Additionally FDEV has for the most sold only ED franchise content that it has released (unless you want to turn this thread into a LEP discussion). It is pretty normal players move on after playing a released game.
CIG on the other hand has presold SC and SQ42 to the tune of 450+ millions without a single game released after 10 years. Players leaving even before the game has been released is just shameful.

I am afraid all those millions have been wasted: 10 years, no released game.
Great to hear that cope and seeth is working out for you!
Well, FDEV has released quite a lot already of the original vision for the franchise:
All in all not a bad release record on their original intents post base game release. And so far there are no signs it is stopping there. To top it all off the great news is that with a few exceptions FDEV will only charge you for it when they think it is ready for release or close.
On the other hand CIG has wasted around 450 millions so far and are still charging for a game they have not released for over 10+ years.
Sadly, yes. See above.
I guess that basing a business model on constant misrepresentation and pre selling products that are not released over 10+ years is not just marketing. The marketing guys just do whatever the boss says. In the meantime, paying players leaving before the game is even released is utterly shameful.

Those millions contributed to an eventual release: Not wasted! It would be a waste if they closed up shop!
They still sold lies!
FDev makes more money with park sims, constant Elite update delays and the state of Odyssey shows how much FDev care about Elite. It shows every sign of stopping here.
LOL
I can play the game! Cope & Seethe!
What misrepresentation? If you buy a jpg you're warned you buy a jpg! After the recent roadmap update it's literally impossible to use it as a marketing tool anymore!
