Meanwhile, over there, I wrote this.
It's about who submits the most bug reports and confirmations in the issue council. But, believe what you want to.
So going by the
list of Evocati (
official CIG list), and this guy, GameKrap being in it, and only having 7 issue council submissions (latest is 15476, most recent 43364) to date, that's a pretty low bar. By that bar, judging by the 3000+ bugs currently in the list, of which the average backer has reported more than 7, there should be more people in Evocati.
It's bad enough that a bunch of gamers gave CIG $160M to make 2 games. They turn around and lock builds behind an NDA and accessible to only a select few. Yeah.
Because you know, that screams "open development".
Then they come up with a new and inventive plan to
SPY on the same backers who gave them all this money, by adding a shoddily implemented visual watermark to a game backers already PAID for, and to which they're entitled. Because you know, nothing screams
LEAK! like a bunch of unbelievers posting screen shots and videos of the train wreck that the project has become.
And going by the number of
obvious bugs in the 3.0 Evocati build, one would think that a company with $160M of other people's money, would have a well staffed QA team, or outsource it to professionals. But that would mean spending money wisely.
Yet,
back in Nov 2016 when I wrote Croberts basically went on stage, lied, and made up a bunch of shit, and I later wrote this:
3.0 status: sources say all are still laughing at this one. It simple does NOT exist as was communicated to backers. It was basically a wishlist of items they wanted to see in a point release; and which Roberts when on the record (again) as saying was coming by “year end, and not on Dec 19th like last year“.
....you were one of several (some are still parroting the same bullshit) saying that I was talking shit, that my sources were fake etc.
Then the first 3.0 schedule dropped in
April 2017, and I was proven to be right.
And then, just like that, 3.0 became the "Baby Jesus Patch" in which, last I checked this weekend, over 75% of what is in the
leaked changelog doesn't even exist in the build, the
tech is still shit, performance is in the crapper, netcode is worse than ever before, and they're about to add a pile of more bugs to the
3000+ strong list.
But don't worry though, Derek Smart lied when he said "3.0 didn't exist"; Evocati are now playing it! Checkmate Goonie!
Basically, 3.0, when it drops, is going to be just another buggy release with 1000+ more bugs to add to the list.
But don't worry though, 6 years later, it's still pre-alpha. I'm sure they will get their act together soon. Pledge moah!
The fucking project, just as I predicted in the 2015 July Blog, is
fucking dead. Only the fucking morons still giving CIG money, don't know it yet.
