We heard you like empty promises, so we filled our currently-empty promises with more empty promises!  (We're just hoping that this isn't like putting a Portable Hole in a Bag of Holding.)

It's more like a klein bottle.

Re: Wing Commander 6: The Undiscovered Release Date (Star Citizen Thread)
I totally understand the point about SC being a very complex and groundbreaking game and thus taking long to develop. I wouldnt even mind waiting a decade if they manage to deliver on most of the promises.

But what I am concerned about is why did they have so many studios, contractors and people working on the game since 2013, when basic engine technology wasnt yet ready. That doesnt seem like an efficient use of backers money. First create the engine and the technology, and then when all the production pipelines are pinned down you can massively expand into content creation phase. But it is easy to criticise in hindsight..

Who are you and what have you done with the real maslo?


EDIT : For that matter why does your IP not match the one maslo used multiple times last week?  :nervous:

Dont worry, the real maslo is safely tied up down in the basement.

and he had dynamic IP



Its not like SC development is proceeding with no delays whatsoever, so I am fine with reasonable criticism. Unless it is Derek Smart tier criticism, then I am compelled to defend Chris honor. Its a ****izen thing..

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Looks like they gave him his full money back without fuss and it was just an admin error. Of course if you're of a less charitable mindset, you might think they were hoping he wouldn't notice / pursue it.

I can't empathise with these people. Whales I can understand, it's nothing to them. But people for whom the money is significant, I just don't get it, even when I read them talking about why they do it.

A virtual space-Winnebago is more exciting than a real house, so I sold the house to buy a fleet of virtual space-Winnebagos.

What's there to not understand?

They have a ~plausible excuse in this case but I distinctly remember that months ago there were people talking in the SA thread about CIG withholding VAT on refunds, so while I can't provide hard evidence I strongly suspect that this is a systemic practice.
