  • Star Citizen player reports CIG is making him sign an NDA before getting a refund

  • He turned into a snake and convinced Eve to eat the fruit of knowledge, he dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, and he is the real developer of Spore. His wife is actually a Hitler clone. CIG funded 9/11.

  • The things that make us hate it is how they make so much money.

  • They aren't half as shady as every other AAA gaming company. These things are blown way out proportion and CIG is held to double standards. They have crunch time and NDAs for disgruntled assholes? Oh no, the world is over, this company is pure evil like none other! It's really not a big deal that this one refund has an NDA. Their others don't, so it's a weird thing, but to say this is proof of wrongdoing is fallacious grasping. To believe what Massively has to say about Star Citizen is like listening to what fox News has to say about Climate Change. Every little thing they can spin into making cig look bad they take, even things every other company does without issue. Hating SC gets way more engagement and ad revenue then almost any other kind of critical article in gaming. Just look at any post about SC on this community compared to others. It's insane. And I don't use that term lightly.

  • Ten years on and you think their growing players count and revenue is still just hype? No. The people who try the game are sticking around. If it was just hype it would have died years ago. It is genuinely fun to play right now. I can tell you this because I'm having lots of fun in it right now. When is the last time you played it?

    Where does any game spend it's money? That's not ever public info. The fact that SC is publicly posting its revenue is opening them up to this double standard they are better than other companies with. We know they just bought a massive new building to hire more devs, so the evidence suggests they spend their money on development. They don't spend any of it on dividends for any already rich ultracalitalist investors because they don't have any, so they already have every other AAA company beat. (Those investors also invest in gaming journalism).

  • Pitchforks and rabble rousing is fun, but I actually play the game. It is a fun time, worthy of hundreds of hours as it is right now. Many people have thousands of hours. The growing number of players and growing revenue tell a different story than your ill informed guesses and chipped shoulder. This is as much a tech demo as any other early access game. I know this because I actually play it regularly. The lived experiences of the vast majority of players outweighs the angry whinging of people who don't know what they're talking about.

    Who cares if it never finishes? It's fun now. I have had much more than my money's worth of fun. $50 ten years ago is still paying off in enjoyment now and it's getting better with every update. This is what the overwhelming majority of the growing number of thousands and thousands of regular players all say. Crying about it doesn't change facts.

  • Always remember "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."

    There's a lot of bullshit in the Star Citizen controversy. Hating it generates a lot of revenue for Massively and The Escapist (two of the worst tabloids in the industry). Just play it once during a free fly before you judge. If everyone did that, these articles wouldn't exist.

  • Have you heard of Retroid Pocket? I've never used one, but they have a range of products that seem to do what you want, and for a fraction of the price of a Steam Deck.

  • So price isn't an issue but the two most popular and common options are are too expensive, ha ha.

    Have you looked at the used tablet/phone market? You'll get a better picture than a new device of the same price and the older tech won't matter for emulating old games.

  • Jingoism. These are private individuals, some of who may oppose Putin. Russian military sympathizers should be removed, no matter where they live, good people should stay no matter what their head of state is doing. If Trump wins, will he remove all Americans? Nope. Jingoism.

  • Whatever happened to racing games

    Jump

  • Racing in VR is such a great experience, I'd love to see more of it. Simulation and arcade style. But you're right, we need one with a robust, slow paced progression system. I remember really enjoying unlocking everything in NFS Porsche Unleashed, going through the eras, starting slow but getting slowly faster. Then NFS Underground 2 came out and still stands alone as the best example of racing progression by a large margin. Then it's like the gameplay design has been going further back in time since then. I am using the same simple progression mechanics in new racers that I used in Sega GT 2002, and they were old then.

    As to why, it feels like they don't have AAA budgets anymore. The high quality simulator games like the Dirt series have to spend their whole wad getting the physics and performance right, there's not much left for anything else, so it's just menus and a simple money system. That's just my guess, it could just be they need to hire a couple RPG designers among the gear head ones.

  • If not a Steam Deck then I'd say a large phone or small tablet with one of those controllers that the device clips into.

    Star Trek shows come in varying degrees of quality, but one thing that has remained consistently good is the casting of Amanda Grayson, Spock's mom.
