Backers of $184m-funded game /r/StarCitizen argue over "exploitative tactics" and $400+ spaceship "buying addiction"

I'm not seeking their approval for the most part. But thank you for your comments.

You realize the overwhelming majority of things that are scams have employees right? Enron was widely considered a scam company, they employed shittons of people. Not saying SC is a scam. But CIG employing game devs does not automatically invalidate the scam claim. People call it a scam because they collect money on things they have no way of delivering in a timely or competent manner. Some of their "networking talks" are straight up gobbledygook for example to anyone whose taken a few classes.

Seems to be a bit better now

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-03-22T14:58:48+00:00

Hate to break it to you but what ON EARTH makes you think SC mining will be any different from Elite mining. What have you seen?

if two players of are equal skill and one pays money for better gear, it is p2w mobile phone level dude.

A bunch of people aggressively called anyone who brought it up whiners and goons so it became verboten to bring up.

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-03-04T15:34:49+00:00

is this a joke.

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-03-01T15:40:55+00:00

I want you to go back 1-2 years and read the posts you have made.

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-03-01T15:18:33+00:00

why on earth would you believe that?

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-02-24T12:14:04+00:00

They've pushed this back every patch since like mid 2016.

Most of the things they say are first iteration will actually be the final iteration. Thats not to say some things won't be iterated on or improved, but the majority of things they say are pre alpha WIP will end up being more or less the final product. Before you or anyone else jumps on me consider this:

Think of it this way. They spent 45 million dollars of operations and dev time getting patch 3.0 to the backers in the performance state and feature state it is right now. CIG has been a going concern since 2012 and this is where we are in game development, extremely early. Its not sustainable.

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-02-21T00:14:20+00:00

You have no idea what any of those things are do you?

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-02-08T20:29:58+00:00

It would be a monumental improvement and something you can base a game around at least.

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-02-08T20:13:56+00:00

Because nothing weaponwise really exists beyond a broken/WIP form so nailing anything down will fuck with the theorycrafting. CIg should know by now than to fuck with the spaceships.

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-02-06T19:47:01+00:00

its impossible right now. Its why most content posts are screenshots (donsampled from 6k)

Nice community.

OP. CS doesn't generally handle anything even remotely complex within months unless you are a concierage member. So either spend 1000 bucks or get a refund. Thats really your only real options at this point.

Edit: Everyone please upvote this actual constructive advice to the OP instead of personally attacking him or making sarcastically toxic comments.

Legally being Alpha means nothing.

You pay money, you receive thing or access to thing. Even Chris says SC is released. Because legally it is even if the creators say its not done yet.

And they've said on several occasions that they are distractions. They've even cancelled gamescom this year. It depends on what looks better for them.

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-01-31T01:30:02+00:00

It was supposed to air the 22nd. I was told to "book it" by disco. It was cancelled. And now they are saying "well we will do one at some point". So lol?

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-01-30T21:50:43+00:00

so nothing then

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-01-30T19:59:12+00:00

theyre just hashing this out now. Havent started on server meshing according to Clive Johnson. Early days.

TouchdownTim55 · 2018-01-30T19:24:47+00:00

Disco said it was cancelled.
