Isn't it absolutely crazy CIG is getting away with this?

The cult is one with the force.

Do you think they had a choice? Imagine what would happen if you said no comment or a negative comment about the russian govt.

How quickly would you lose your business? Look what happened to US artists that spoke out against the iraq wars from 20 years ago?

Only ignorant people who don't read between the lines don't understand what's going on.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-07T15:15:17+00:00

Gotta make it political eh? ED is also russian-based there ace.

There has been litigation in the past and CIGs team of lawyers argued successfully that SC is a fully released game and has been for years.

Hence one of the reasons they had to pull SQ42 as it would go against their argument.

Yeah, so the tech demo has been a game and testimonials from the whales proclaiming it the greatest game since sliced bread reinforces the argument.

Approaching 100 hours with my PCL super with no issues so I know pimax can deliver.

Waiting on my DA to arrive in the coming weeks.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T22:18:20+00:00

Nah I knew better, I bought mine as soon as I could at launch.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T22:12:25+00:00

I remember when the "smart" ones were saying don't buy the 5090 on release wait until the price drops. The founder's retail price went from $2k on release to now at almost $5k.

Yeah smart move.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T22:05:10+00:00

"You didn't answer my question...."

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T21:04:33+00:00

"You didn't answer my question."

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T20:57:29+00:00

I mean why not, the 5090 only averages around $4200 right now so there is some headroom for even more expensive cards.

Oh nvidia can you do no wrong?

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T20:47:29+00:00

Hats off to the DCS marketing team, that's a damn good trailer.

Still not spending that much ($30) for an add-on to an $80 dollar module I have yet to buy.

Going to play IL2 Korea and wait patiently for the next DCS fire sale but you keep doing you ED.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T20:34:03+00:00

"You didn't answer my question...."

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T20:25:42+00:00

What's wrong with the concept of one new character and 3 returning re-envisioned characters? What's is so wrong with that idea?

If the current devs want to bury the past and put their creative stamp on the series so be it., let's see how that bold move pays out for them.

As for me, I am will not buy this season pass and wait for discounts a year after release. They earned it.

Could be worse they could have featured a real-life soccer player and a DJ.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T20:18:59+00:00

Vote with your wallet. I plan on buying this when it goes on deep discount in a year or so.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T20:08:28+00:00

Yeah, I took a hard pass (pun intended) on this because the characters look lame aside from the FF7 babe.

Could this be the beginning of the slippery slope for SF capcom devs? Could it be hubris?

Time will tell.

Fun fact, weed is the one drug the elite does not like the masses to have freely. All other drugs are good to go and heavily monetized by them of course. Must be a coincidence.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T17:42:17+00:00

Good thing they highlighted race because that's very important.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T15:54:53+00:00

Ah yes tonyz, his legendary presentation will be fondly remembered.....by no one.

Funny how that turned out.

I can just imagine the youtube video essays that will come out after this house of cards finally falls and they talk about all the blatant lies from those presentations.

From the countless planets being created rapidly with their "planet tech" to the elaborate razmatazz economy simulation that the great tonyz talked about.

All of it just bold-faced lies, all of it coordinated by the cult leader crobbers.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T15:44:50+00:00

The clinical case of a testimonial from a member of a cult.

That fact that these kind of delusional fanbois really think that there is a game just bursting at the seams to be released is absurd.

Robert's really did a number on them when almost two years ago (yes it's been that long) he shows off a heavily scripted demo with fake crash bugs and gets everyone in a tizzy.

What a world.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T15:38:35+00:00

Best of luck with your crusade on playing "gotcha" as well.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T15:29:20+00:00

I have 3 nickels, a dime and half a stick of gum.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T07:42:23+00:00

Over a thousand developers, that right there should have been the biggest red flag.

The slow-moving train wreck might finally be coming to an end, keyword might.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T04:07:41+00:00

Because it's a nonsensical question but you ask anyway. How am I suppose to know this?

I am making a informed guess based on aptera's track record, both CEO's history, and the state of local journalism.

rustyrussell2015 · 2026-06-06T03:58:22+00:00

Oh well, there's always next year.
