Holiday AtV is delayed 24 hours
CIG advertised their holiday show accross IGN and amoungst their fanbase. Only to cancel it 20 or 40mins before the scheduled time to go live.
CIG yanks the football away at the last second again.
I love you CIG, I really, really do.
What a trainwreck.
The hits keep on coming.
Imagine not beeing able to show gameplay of your game after five years of development

This encapsulates Star Citizen for me in a way I doubt the OP could ever understand or recognize. It’s got everything:
The pointless joke literally run into the ground as the only bit of content The huge, empty, ill-advised planet The wonky physics, with the Big Benny’s machine jittering all over the place The hilariously overwrought mocap of the guy doing his dumb victory dance The inability of commandos to affect change on anything (look at his feet in relation to the vending machine) It’s all just so perfect.

I’m about out of good faith for Chris. It’s been one hell of a wait. If they can’t resolve the garbage performance and start making leaps in development now that “the core of the game is there” I’m going to completely stop telling people about the game. Seriously tired of people giving me shit just because I’m excited for a game that has, so far, disappointed absolutely every single one of my friends, RL and online gaming friends.

I think the Coutts loan is a trivial detail in this story, and got blown out of proportion because some of the paperwork was public. Having to put up everything as collateral is a completely normal way to get a good deal on interest. Collateral and credit do not need to match in value, and in fact rarely do.
Amazon has an article linked on their AWS | Lumberyard page that includes quotes from Carl Jones talking about the switch.

CIG forked CryEngine 3.7 and modified it by over 50%.
Amazon forked CryEngine 3.8 and modified it by over 50%.
CIG rebased their branch onto Amazon’s branch of CryEngine.
Miraculously this took ‘a couple’ of developers, ‘a couple’ of days.
Of course this is how code works.
Welcome to Star Citizen.
did anyone make a joke about going from face over ip to case over ip?

Worth Watching: (video: ship explodes buggedly)
THE NETCODE IS FINE THIS IS FINE
This is something I called in my July blog two years ago, when I stated the following: “a project with at least one insurmountable problem never passes zero percent completion, no matter how many other development goals are met.”
This is independent of Chris Roberts involvement being its own 100% guarantee of project failure.

I noticed that unrelated text subtitles flicker briefly onto the screen occasionally, as if the guy is continually in telepathic conversation with NPCs all over the ‘Verse. This isn’t the first 3.0 video where I’ve seen this phenomenon. Just a couple of instances below:
Someone in the verse is probably interacting with the shop at the same time, and this thing broadcasts every action of every player to every client regardless of range and sublevel.

$6.59M raked in for the sale.
My biggest problem, that I always have with SC, is that no matter how bad it is or how much I know I have to ignore logic, I keep assuming people are not fools.
All my projections are off because I can’t accept how stupid people are about this game.
It’s weird how square one is “these people are insane enough to spend thousands on jpegs of spaceships” and yet they still find new, inventive ways to come off as increasingly insane.
