epic.

But it's ok when the guy behind Dwarf Fortress says v1 won't be ready for 30 years.

Dwarf Fortress doesn't have people pissing an unlimited stream of money on them
>>
>>376736776
Is this a joke? He;s lived off of donated development money for a decade.
>>
>>376736538
Dwarf Fortress is a free game that lives off of donations.
It's not even remotely fucking comparable to Star Citizen.
>>
Thank god I only paid $30 compared to the ones who have spent thousands on imaginary ships for an imaginary game.
>>
>>376736881
Yeah. Donations.
Kickstarter doesn't work based on donations. It works on funding. You're expected to get a finished product in return.
>>
I wonder if all these people getting scammed by literal idea guys will breed a culture that mocks and humiliates them.
>>
>>376736881
He also has a playable product.
>>
>>376736905
How? People are donating money to the Star Citizen devs for a game they will get for free, similar to how people are donating money to the Dwarf Fortress dev for a game they will get for free.
>>
>>376736981
A kickstarter is a donation to get something funded.

Stretch goals are basically the site building in feature creep. How it's meant to work is the initial goal being the most stripped-back, barebones version of a thing possible with the stretch goals building it out.

This. They are too far in development to pull out by this point. Worst case scenario they just take whatever they have done right now and push it out saying "here it is."

When I "bought" starcitizen I did it with the thought in my mind that I shouldn't expect a full game until 2020. In all, I've spent about 60hrs into the game over two years time. Do I regret it? No, game is still coming just really, really slowly which I already knew and accepted back then.

When do I think it'll be filled with more robust features and be what they advertised? In 2020, just like I predicted. I regret nothing cause Starcitizen really is trying to fill the promises and then some. If you have been playing the game from time to time, you'd see this too. It's not like they took the money then went silent.

I know /v/ loves their shit storms and looking for faults in the minor things but you people just have to accept that Starcitizen isn't a scam. You pay what you want, it's yours forever, play when you want how you want. It's just like any other game.

I have bought worse games that I also enjoyed. I have bought games that were just as buggy and none functioning. If you hate VIDEO GAMES and can't enjoy anything that isn't AAA drivel, then you won't even be around here in another two years. My parents spent $75 in 1998 to buy me Forsaken, which was shitty in a lot of aspects, which would be easily over $120 in today's currency.

How old are you? I'm betting easily ten years younger than me.

If Roberts was actually competent, he could have just gone to an ACTUAL investor or venture capitalist and gotten all the money he needed.

While getting money from a bunch of kikes isn't exactly something to brag about, the fact that actual professional investors do not trust him with their money should set off some serious red flags.

Worst offenders are the ones who try to sell it as a complete game in its current form

Star Citizen is their dream of a perfect game

It is hope. If you educated them, you'd shatter their dreams and take away their hope. If the game ever comes out, it will by shit and shatter their dreams. What they really want is to keep dreaming.

this is insane. this has been in development for like 6 years now.
this is at the brink of turning into a shitshow a la Duke Nukem Forever.
good things take time, but there is a point where it starts to cause the opposite.
I'm glad I didn't go full retard back then and gave them my money.

Lawsuit can't touch kickstarter itself, they're just the middlemen. They haven't promised anything and haven't caused any damages, they've only provided a marketplace where your own dumb ass got scammed. Hell, it can't even touch the people who are begging for money on it--most have an agreement you sign when donating that is in dense legalese that you understand this is just a donation and if the product is never completed, you don't get shit.

This shouldn't be any more illegal than any other scams like MLM or psychics. A fool and his money are soon parted.

And hell, maybe a good game that the games industry refuses to shell out for will eventually come of it.

>>376759074
IF everyone put 45$ into buying the game, apparently that's alpha buy in price, then around 3-4 million people bought it.
Its a genre that was effectively dead and was not coming back but people still wanted to play a game in the genre.
In comes this dev team that gave people the game they wanted.
Then you got the autists who are like train people but will never even have models to satisfy themselves with, who are willing to dive in 1000-20000$ each, multiple times.

Till they say development is halted, I'm not calling it a scam, its a dream project that has yet to burn through its funding.
>>
>>376752743
literally no one was willing to fund a space sim period, the only reason some have sprung up since SS is because of how much money was thrown at it to tell everyone its not a dead genre.
>>
Chris is screwed. There's no way he's going to win any lawsuit. I remember there being a disclaimer that you could get a refund in 18 months but Chris sneakily removed it. All anyone has to do is show that and he's obligated to give every backer a refund.

We need to talk about what the fuck you call playable. How in the actual fuck is dwarf Fortress a playable game. Look I love that style game I love that kind game it's my dream game but I can't bring myself to learn how to play that piece of shit where the person making it doesn't want to make a fucking ui that is functional. The only way the game is somewhat playable as by people who make third-party graphical user interfaces for the shit and that stuff is buggy as fuck at best. And you're right I didn't grow up with ASCII, but a time I was playing games the first Nintendo was already out and that was the standard people judged games by. Just imagine what would happen if that guy actually paid an artist to make something that looks like Final Fantasy tactics advance. Someone did a mockup, that game would go from nearly unplayable to probably the best game ever made overnight. Fuck off this playable shit dwarf fortress ain't playable unless you have some form of autism and are willing to dedicate half your life to learn it, and at that point I would get more gratification learning how to model things in 3-D or possibly even making my own game than trying to work around that.

New refund policy

Can Chris get in trouble for this?

Let's not kid ourselves here, when you're paying for the subscription is to go online you're paying them to be able to play multiplayer. Anything they do beyond the fact is an added bonus. Let's look at it this way if they stop giving you free games would that stop the subscription? For most people it wouldn't even be their main reason for subscribing. How the only games that they give out are ones that are already past their prime and aren't selling many copies anymore then giving you a copy is just them adding value to the subscription at next to no cost to themselves.

Yes I'm used to graphical representations. I'm not even a lie about that, if I want to play game that's from the old rogue -like genres like angband and the like, I need to get some form of a GUI for it because as it stands using ASCII for art, that wasn't a graphical style that was a limitation of the engines, that was a limitation of what you can do at the time. Dwarf fortresses in 2000 fucking 17 and is actively developed yet it lacks any semblance of a GUI. If memory serves there's no mouse control in the game either in a genre that screams "you need most control you fucking idiot"

Dwarf fortresses you sadly one of those games that's been developed by an autist and a genre I fucking love to be able to play but because he can't see past his own fucking autism with making the game it's just unplayable to anybody who doesn't have quite literally no fucking life to be able to play that shit.

As far as I can tell the game has an amazing engine and his amazing backbone to it, but it needs some semblance of a GUI to be functional at all.

You can take that as he's being truthful, I see that as he's being a sarcastic cunt considering he said that the game won't be done for decades.

Look I'm not even asking for miracles here, I'm not asking for a perfect you are. However I know damn well most control wasn't too hard to implement buttons aren't too hard to implement a scrolling menu isn't too hard to implement and then adding them all together gives you a very functional game, opposed to the craptacular state affairs that it's in
