Ask yourself this. When - in the history of gaming - has one company ever "sold" or "licensed" their game engine to a third-party who then went on to make their own game from it?

It's never happened.

Game engines like iD Tech, Unreal, CryEngine etc used no games, were built as engines first before they were licensed (as engines) to third-parties. And those engines didn't contain any game code that's part of the engine core.

CIG could never - ever - license their shitty CryEngine (per the CryTek lawsuit, they never switched to LY as we now find out over three years since I said they didn't back in Dec 2016) based "Star Engine" (custom engine) because it would need to do any/all the things that any competent game engine does - and more.
Star Citizen isn't a game. It's a TV show about a bunch of characters making a game. It's basically "This is Spinal Tap" - except people think the band is real.

This is what delusion looks like.

"The only thing CIG is beating them with atm is their research into multiplayer."

lol, their 50 player servers are cutting edge. They come up with some vague unrealised "server mashing" bullshit and the backers lap it up.

Well I personally want them to continue with that bs because the end game will be that much more hilarious.

Meanwhile, over there

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/gm13lf/my_outsider_perspective_on_star_citizen_if_you/

Some people over there are now saying they expect 2024/25 for release! A full 10 years after the initial release date. All 4 or 5 years away, and that is not including the fact that their predictions are wildly over optimistic 😂

Dude, you are talking to a cult. Chris Roberts is their L Ron Hubbard. Just look at the downvotes, even when you made an entirely non aggressive critisism. These people are beyond delusional.


They just started a whole thread about Derek in the refunds.

They did? I don't see it. Got link?

EDIT: Found it! I see that "he doxxed people" nonsense is still alive and well.

Well, it looks like those bastards decided to put Line Of Defense inside Star Citizen?

Yes - apparently if you leave your ship, it becomes weightless. Or something. I don’t even know anymore.

Meanwhile, over at what backers call the “hate” sub, the drive-by nutters still have their “Oh it’s just Derek Smart” narrative, even as the whole project burns down around them. Because you know, somehow this is all my fault (isn’t it always though?).

Yet somehow, in all this ToW fiasco, some have noticed that CIG, with over $350m of free money, basically decided to make a shitty combined arms version of Battlefield, Planetside and gasp Line Of Defense. I can’t even stop laughing.

Oh, the Free Fly event is apparently live!

I'm looking forward to the melt down when the free fly starts.  :cheesy:


But it hasn't quite started yet. The free fly is expected at 3 PM Pacific Time, although the 3.9.1 patch was already released to live.
