Looks like the White Knights are finally waking up. If you can’t access 4Chan, here is an image of the post.
I’m waiting for the point where they start eating their young.
But seriously though, as I’ve said before, the collapse of this project will be all Chris’s doing; not mine.
@MDrake I have emailed three of them for their permission. Then I can just redact their personal info etc. I can’t share anyone’s email in the public without their permission.
In case u missed this Star Citizen editorial when it first ran, go read it. I am chatting with Red this weekend.
@Derrick Thanks for stopping by. Your post is precisely the reason that more and more people are finally waking up, taking a long hard look at the project, and asking the tough questions.
This whole SC fiasco has already had consequences in crowd-funding, and especially in the space combat genre as I posted earlier some examples.
The sad reality is that, even if they do end up shipping something, it’s never going to live up to the hype. And that alone is going to keep this discourse going for years to come.
And your R101 example is spot-on. However, even in the gaming sector, if you haven’t already, read up on the sudden and catastrophic collapse of 38 Studios back in 2012. The ramifications from that one are still on-going today, as are all the lawsuits that came from it.
Chris had the chance to build a great game. He got crazy; and blew it. Again.
I added some of the more hilarious 1.3 “buggy” videos to the blog. Here are the links.
Remember: Four years. $94m. 500 people have worked on this game on and off since 2012.
@MDRake we actually have several emails forwarded to us already regarding that Twin Bros company. We still do not know why refunds are coming from there. And of course they’re not going to tell us why. That’s what attorneys are for.
That company has nothing to do with this project, other than it being an older shell company owned by Ortwin, one of the co-founders of Star Citizen project. It’s just one of the many Red flags we’re keeping track of atm. No clear answers.
