CIG. There's always more; and it's always worse!
Meanwhile, this is new...http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1209438-Megathread-Star-Citizen?p=46699369&viewfull=1#post46699369QuoteDerek Smart was right about many of the issues he could foresee. The real issue is how Chris & co decided to communicate regarding the game. Derek Smart really succeeded in poisoning the water to the point where Chris always pretends like everything is almost ready and will not discuss concerns. He is trying his best to hide them because he doesn't want them in Derek's hands.

'Star Citizen will speak for itself'.Sure, that's why they got Escapist to take down a prize-winning article criticizing SC's development cycle. :psyduck:

So they came to a mutual agreement that they would take down the article, if CIG took down their threats and Roberts' infantile diatribe.

The best revenge is success, I've found.That thing with Defy could've gone SEVERELY pear shaped for CIG. Their action was what Popehat refers to as 'shutuppery', and there's a number of lawyers who really don't like it.
So, another backer has seen the light. More and more are getting there, slowly but steadily. Finally, Chris is on the right track :smuggo:
The thing is, are there enough money launderers around to keep CIG afloat? One wonders...
Even the "official funding chart" now is showing the downfall. Whatever mechanics they have to generate those (fake) numbers, even the scripts cannot compensate for the dwindling number of people actually paying over and over again for stuff that just won't be delivered. I can't wait to see what they'll try to sell at Games Com, or when they'll announce. Starting another sale before showing anything else might be dangerous. It's just pushing the backers to their limits. But starting another sale after having to admit that they have nothing tangible or dumping another BS load of R&D demo clips won't work either. I have a feeling that they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Without an actual working 3.0 that has some real body to it, they're fucked.We have made no progress whatsoever in the last year. At least, nothing that we can give to you, the backers. Sorry. But hey, luckily, you can buy a new ship! Another nice picture for your JPEG collection.
Mental Gymnastics & lols: 13:00 - I am not surprised or upset by the delay at all. At least it's only couple weeks delay instead of months13:50 - Chris has a secret schedule in his head. The public schedule is to motivate devs to work harder16:15 - "CIG always lies" "Chris Roberts always lies" but it's a good thing because,16:30 - there is a complex strategy that we don't understand from the outside. CIG moves in mysterious ways18:45 - We've had to make stuff up for 9 months while we wait for the something playable to come out19:30 - [CONCERN] Uhh where's mining? 3.0 is supposedly 6 weeks away and we haven't seen any gameplay of Trading or Cargo23:15 - 3.0 will come out, with uhh... features27:00 - Chris is a perfectionist, but only on visual stuff. Bugs are fine
