Oh good you actually read that. I said I was ambivalent. I'm testing the veracity of your assumptions and the basis for board opinion. I have a pretty good gauge at this point and I see it almost as entirely as incredulity and publisher worship. Most people come in do as you do and cannot...

Domination megalomania delusions on the interwebs doesn't make you seem mentally ill. Really. I just feel like such the pariah and intimidated.

Well other than 'winning' what benefit would you get from said cooperation as opposed to just being in second place and whatever that gives you? If there is no reason other than 'winning' then yeah I can see millennials not caring.

Let me guess. You couldn't wait for Darkfall to come out and think it was Trammel that ruined UO? Hey more power to you but what limited resources does is cause people to compete for resources. Trilateral symmetry provides more options as opposed to bilateral that always ends up in one side...

LOL your going to have to do better than that if you're trying to make me mad or drive me away. I'm not into schadenfreude but you just seem mad. Like I said if it makes you feel better have at it but this type of sophomoric drivel is meaningless to me. My ego isn't dependent on the...

One of the reason why I act the pedantic dick is to challenge people and foster argument. You won't argue on merit and that is what cowards always do. Taking pot shots at me just makes you seem insecure but if it makes you feel better I can take it so go right ahead.

That type of money is not a big deal to me. For me it was a chance to break the VCO publisher paradigm --I really don't like this country's financial system-- and if it ends up as vaporware then I am not going to worry about the $100 I spent too much. I spend more on charity and political...

If its anything like that economic wishcasting you were peddling as fact to try and bully Variise with then youre right: you cannot. Right now you can spawn in a station, go to a console to spawn your ship, go through an airlock to zero G and EVA, hop in your ship, go fly to a station, get...

LMAO. So you don't know shit but feel you can make predictions on outcome. Hells yeah. I want to party with you.

You are not even talking about what I actually say but instead seek to defame me while you stamp your feet and declare your not going to believe me. Like Paine says time converts more sure than reason. I actually used to post on the FOH boards back in the day. I'm well aware of how MMO...

This shit just reads like generational smack and relatively meaningless generalizations. What specifically are they not going to deliver? IF you want to have that discussion then fine but the incredulity argument without any real basis gets tiresome. Again, they are either going to...

Theyre not popular now. The rest of what I said still stands. All of the games you mentioned were managed by the standard VCO publisher paradigm. Despite that I enjoyed SWG and UO so I'm not sure what point your getting at. A lot of AAA titles that have come out and been unfinished and...

I'm not sure what the PS2 endgame mechanics are but if its set up so that it's winner take all and second place gets nothing then they have a reason to cooperate and rotate with last place. You obviously need people with the wherewithal to organize it but its logical self interest. If I...

I'm a Cutlass owner and been in the PTU for close to a year. I got annoyed with Lesnick so missed a couple of builds but I've been fairly regular.

Seeing that Battle Cruiser was trying to do something similar back in the early 90s and Smart failed spectacularly it makes sense that his ego would have an emotional investment for anyone attempting something similarly ambitious to fail. It's certainly petty but given equal parts of blatant...

You categorically denied everything. Note your use of the word everything? I talked about the technical side of things because I've been trying to get you to demonstrate some level of expertise which outside of self assuming circular reasoning, I've seen nothing. In fact you dodged it and...

and are mutually exclusive statements. If you cannot figure it out then it's not my problem. I get that you want to dissemble into timeframes now but it is what it is. BAsically what youre saying is that you could do it but they cannot. Reads like hubris to me.

And really after this load of horseshit, I find your current whinging about my intelligence to be absolutely delicious.

You stopped arguing what I was actually arguing regarding your take on the economics of crowdfunding. I don't give a shit about Derek Smart beyond to say that the criticisms laid out to this point indicate a lack of original takes. I argue his arguments at face value too --you guys ignore...

Begging questions is not an argument. I can play that game too. Does Chris Roberts ignore his CFO? If he pays attention to his CFO what does he need a publisher for? Fact is after that escapist article, he categorically denied the claims about fiscal irresponsibility stating that he...

Well how the hell am I supposed to know who he is? I asked him to demonstrate said expertise and instead I got sophomoric big timing and poorly articulated regurgitations of Derek Smart's poorer arguments. What was amusing was when he started contradicting himself in trying to big time me.

I'm intrigued by this game. 3 faction RVR makes sense to me as it creates politics and alliances over a common foe organically. I want to see the ability customization using shapes and such in action. I really like the soft capped progression based on using abilities as opposed to the typical...

You can always tell when someone feels they are losing an argument. Ad hominems and an attempt to rephrase the discussion into something else. Let's recall what you said when I first asked you for any basis for your claim: Now you've already backtracked off this once but looking back it now...

You really going to big time with this weak horseshit? You've demonstrated nothing for all your delusions of grandeur. Megalomania is common in trolls but not overly compelling. And lets not omit that you just admitted that what they are claiming to be doing is technically possible. Good...

A better analogy would be 'is that the same response you give to Wei Hok Soon when he calls bullshit on climate models.' That backdoor attempt at logic isn't exactly convincing me of any level of expertise. Just because they are a new company doesn't mean they cannot do what they claim to...

That's not all that I said. He basically said that it would be really complex and difficult. Him not being able to figure out how it would be done is not a basis. As an aside it would be nice to hear something that isn't someone else's regurgitated take particularly when he claims some...

Yeah it was. You said everything they claimed was unviable. You belied that already. So anything other than Derek Smart level incredulity? That is literally the same shit he says without the repetitive self promotion.

My personal philosophy is a skeptic reductionist. The reductionist part isn't significant here but as a skeptic I don't believe anything without a reason to believe it. Reading your nonsense about crowdfunding as inherently unethical and championing VOC's I just don't find you credible in...

Hyperbole is fun but not overly compelling. Care to be specific? Have anything other than a regurgitation of something Derek Smart claims which more or less is incredulity and whinging over crowdfunding as a way to finance a production?

Have any proof of that? I already think your full of shit so I don't take anything you say at face value.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-sothy-aa000027 Joe Sothy worked as a senior finance executive at EA before becoming CIG's CFO. You going to claim they are going to run out of money or you going to stick with snark too?

While it's definitely not my thing, I typically cannot hit spacebar fast enough most of the time, I'm not so pigheaded as to think it's not an appealing game feature particularly for getting genpop's attention for a single player game. Else telltale games wouldn't have a market. One of you...

I get that I was trying to be conservative for the sake of argument. I even qualified it as such to make a point. And other than snark do you have any basis for claims of it being 'over their head?' Given this community's penchant for taking cynicism as virtue, I put absolutely no value in...

If he was taking the capital and putting it into his own pocket as opposed to expanding the business then you would have a point. He is still looking to hire more people. Jobs - Cloud Imperium Games They have postings for 60 jobs atm. Let's say they average at $40k a piece to be...

They aren't selling shares so that is an even worse comparison. A ponzi scheme is when you have lie about investing in something and instead just get new investors to pay premiums to your old investors. At no point was CGI selling an investment. I bought a Cutlass back when they first...

There was nothing quiet about it. They announced in Fall of 2015 they were integrating the engines for FPS, piloting, planetside, itemization etc into one engine. That winter they announced the procedural planet system and started showing demos of a toon seamlessly going from EVA to pilot in...

A pyramid scheme is when you sell to a certain person who licenses to sell to another tier of people granting residuals who does it again and so on. Thus the pyramid topology. By your reasoning every game that continues to develop and sell their product post launch is a pyramid scheme. That...

My handle was Pimpbot 3000 over on the FOH board and how about you argue points as opposed to whinging about my opinions en masse? At least when I call what you ilk is doing fearmongering I have a basis for it.

That's old news that he talked about in merging the physics system from FPS, pilot, EVA, and planet systems. They had that demonstration where they had someone go from EVA to piloting a ship to a planet going down to the planet's surface and getting out of said ship. This as opposed to loading...

Yeah why prove something when you can go straight to innuendo and pass it off anyway, right?
