I'm sorry, I thought the sarcasm would be obvious, post edited to reflect this.

Space by its very definition is empty, if it isn't empty it isn't space.

Also its a sand box, player interaction is meant to be happening make--- make things happen its easy.

Did you have any actual examples of this?

Or did you mean this to be your example?

I'm going to laugh when SC releases (if ever) and people realize they invested in a load of a crapware. The EvE community and its bond with CCP is something most developers can only dream of.

I have actually taken the time to read up on SC.

So much shiny bling, so little actual playable content.

Give us yer dosh, and sometime in never never land, we will provide a game.

I think Erotica 1 is running the whole thing as a brilliant scam.

Good point.

I am sure we all get mad at CCP sometimes, I for example, am tempted to join whatever it is I need to join to bombard Iceland from space if they keep 'tweaking' drones, but I consider myself to be a loyal fan of the company, the game and the staff who give so much of their time to interact with us, the players.

Wait, am I missing out on another SC fanboi thread?

Edit: Looks like I'm not but I'm going to vomit all over the place anyways.

Because uhh... I kickstarted SC too, so I can confirm that the whole project is nothing but a shitebasket of incompetence and customer buggery.

I've never seen a game go from a reasonable proposal from an indy studio to full-on megaconglomerate Nazism is such a short period of time, and abuse their customers so blatantly and without shame for exorbitant amounts of money in exchange for digital items.

Not even online casinos try this crap.

If the video game industry were a playground and EA was the big bully, RSI was the quiet kid who buried the bully behind the groundskeepers shed without anyone noticing the violent dismemberment or spine-chilling screams, and then took over his turf with mafia-quality blackmail tactics, inflation and protection rackets.

And it's not the fact that they're doing it that really bothers me. It's seeing how many people willingly dole out more and more money for a non-existent game while trying to control their rampant and painful priapism brought on by the careful marketing and propaganda, which is easily fact-checked and proven false on a regular basis. Just the idea that people aren't screaming "WHOA WHOA JE*** HOLY **** MAN! SLOW DOWN AND PLEASE TAKE YOUR FINGERS OUT OF BOTH MY WALLET AND MY SPHINCTER!" at every turn is horrifying.

I really wish I was that smart. If I knew how, or had the willpower to strip myself of my humanity, to shear sheep like RSI I'd own a pacific island for every day of the week by now.

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help.

Building other games I think is where it is going, as well as paying the current staff of EVE Online as well obviously.

OP, so much entitlement isn't good for you. It might be wise to just biomass yourself and dump your money in SC...uhm...I mean vaporware.

P.s.

If you think that all money goes to EVE Online, you seriously need to learn how business work and what extra costs come around when you run one

Dust.

Legion.

Valkyrie.

That one thingy with the vampires and the facepaint and really bright lipstick that doesn't matter anymore.

Companies invest in developing products when the products they produce are prone to expire or be overshadowed by competition. Vidjya games are subject to both.

Can openers, however, are not. So ask China for an expansion to your can opener.

If you work in accounting or finance, you should have an easier time reading this. This is where CCP is spending their money. R&D increased a little over three fold in 2013 from 2012, and if you compare how much they are spending on development further back in 08-10 you'll notice they are really increasing their spending. That should suggest CCP is working on something big at a glance.

Ow ffs are we comparing a game wich has breathed life for 10 years AGAIN with something wich untill it is out is VAPORWARE .

At a certain point it even get's beyond moronic ....



We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
