Yes he's a loudmouth but the possibility of him being correct is equally amusing.

He's assembled such a thorough laundry list of talking points that if you filter the spin it's actually a nice update of how SC is coming along.

Or not, as the case might be.

It'll be interesting to see how it eventually plays out, although if it ever gets to RTM I doubt it'll be everything that has been promised.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

yeah see that's the nature of spin. There's the thing that happened in reality, and then there's how you think it should be interpreted. I see a lot of gameplay in those videos, and through the course of Derek Smart's tirade I found myself wondering why he cares so much.

Heh don't get me wrong I'd love to see them succeed and wasted many an hour in my youth on Wing Commander and Freelancer (unfortunately the latter wasn't everything it promised to be but was still enjoyable); but at this stage, with 4 years of development under the table, it appears that their ambition may have exceeded realistic expectations and available talent.

Hey, on the bright side when SC does come out it should be easy to run it at max graphics with the hardware that's out when its finally completed.

Hmm. Four years ago I was very much in my rut of 'I don't space game, I don't future space game, and math with spreadsheets gives me hives' mentality. So never did toss any cash into the SC drive(s).

But reading about SC did one sorta good thing. Convinced me to finally give Eve a serious try. So +1 for game comparison meta recruitment tactics?

I like their planet technology so much...

If they would give people some creator tools, I will be there building my space castle.

Their barren planets look much better than Elites right now IMO, although we have yet to see a planet in Elite with atmosphere and the atmospheric scattering that comes with it.

Here's some perspective.

SC is four years in, which is a third of the number of years EVE has been around.

I say the following as I am interpreting your post as if you are saying that SC is not a scam because they are paying so many people legitimately.


What you said is what people think about money handlers like Bernie Madoff, still today even Ugh

If they release 3.0, then I'm pretty safe to say its not a scam.

Or they are really bad at scams as they just spent all their scam money on developing a space game with planetary interaction.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?
