I don't see anything worthwhile to discuss. I might revisit for Derek's next blog or the "Holiday livestream" or whatever, but I think now it's time to forget about this no-show and move on.

Be careful! Those lulz might have too much fidelity in them and you do not want too much of that in your system as you may get too far immersed you may succumb to wavy hands!

Those wavy hands wrote the script. I cannot wait to read all of it - it's going to be EPIC!
I give a benefit of a doubt and say CIG may have borrow money just to create a credit history for the firm, it always look good when you borrowed a loan and repaid it on time. An it good for future stability of the firm to have some overdraft and loan facility at a bank that they can access in the future.
That's IF the loans are with a bank. If they went with venture capital or commercial financing, they may be dealing with a whole different situation.

We've come full circle. 4(5?) years ago CR presented everyone with a fantasy that only existed in his head made with a graphics engine. 4(5?) years and $120M later CR just presented everyone with a fantasy that only exists in his head made with a graphics engine. Except this time it was less polished and buggy. That's progress.

What is wrong with you people?
This post made my day.
But my MVP choice definitely is this one:

I loved this because I had to read three times to count the instances of the word/verb "dream".

So that first forum post was edited by a moderator, but is quoted in full farther down the thread. Yikes...people are really mad!
Believe in the dream!
Disbelieve in what any other nobody might type out on the internet!
Follow the dream!
Follow your own instincts and be a part of the greatest gaming experience that will ever be!
Buy into the dream!
Don't buy into anything that isn't part of the SC dream!
Preserve the dream!
Dislike anything that isn't part of the SC dream!
Respect the dream!
Worship everything and anything related to the dream. Consider all undreamlike things to be heretical apostates.
Further the dream!
Buy a Polaris!
Even if nothing gets released in 5 or 6 years, or ever - it'll still be worth it - we will have journeyed with the dream
and been part of the mind of Roberts!

Err...
Well, that was... words...

The problem is there are lot of people wich do not know much about gamedevelopment do have opinion non the less. Also Dev do diver.
Triple A means huge budged wich means large asset team wich you can produse lots of assets and with that the stand apart from smaller scope games.
There is no other Space sim project with a huge budged.
that showing your true colors you claim they have faild. Correctly would be opinion of they might are failing. But are they ? I don't know that? But it is is it it with making games it we don't have exact insight in there finansial status and if the got enough reserves to go on for 3 Year. Failure is fact if cancelation. Is fact.
They build tech foundation and at some point they are producing the assets with some help PGC for some quantity.
Triple A are normaly Productions aimed at massmarket as they need huge sales so are prefered done on game project with very well known IP and genres that have proof of sucsesfull games.
I don't think EA or Activision see space genre as healthy the need this proof a space sim multi milion seller. SC is not that 1,5 mil backer is proof of interrest from the market. But not 10 mil sucses hit triple A funding needs for proof of huge market for this genre. So Microsoft might find it to risky to do Freelancer II
It make sense that it isn't that black or white. Between haters and fans there are manny shades with neutrals in the middel. The fans and hater are the most loudy.
But wenn SC is out and it becomes a sales hit. Publisher might want infest in triple A projects with strong IP in Space sim genre. Most gamers get into it wenn there is review from the release build and review is good.
Well… aside from the efforts from Activision and EA, out soon (no ™).
SuperG, ED *will* have space legs, at this point pretty soon now. It is planned feature.
CR knows very well ED *is* competition. Major one.

I am feeling so sorry for "regular" SC fanbase. They didn't pay for it and they certainly don't deserve it.

Can we stop saying Mass Effect is space sim? It is space opera RPG. Story driven content, from best AAA story RPG developers.

The always ready excuse - just don't understand "game" development. Except I am well versed in software development, and it's the same path. Games are software.
My true colors are that this is Genuine Roberts. Over promise, run way over budget, way over scope creep, and failing to deliver.
When SC comes out... something will plop out no doubt... its going to be a flop that makes NMS look like the best game ever.

If CR will continue down this road there won't be anything to release to.
Either fans push back and request MVP in next year or SC "dream" is done.
Fair enough. It's a space sim in much the same way as SC is, though, so if we're going to talk about “competition” in that already very loose sense, then it seems pretty apt to bring it up.
Major issue is that SC wants to be "everything", and Andromeda will have space buggy and walking action like in Mass Effect 1, so comparisons aren't fully unjustified, but still...incredibly different games
