So it's pay2win. Gotcha.

So its like paying to get Darth Vader in battlefront while everyone else has to grind, and then when you die you respawn for nothing, but people who just bought the game and grinded to get their favorite hero will have to grind even more just to get him to respawn every time. Sounds fair.

And this has been known for like 5+ years right? Why have I not heard one peep about how this obvious pay2win mechanic that has raised $200m is utterly breaking the game for everyone who doesn't pay?

i was super let down by this game. aliens was one of the hallmarks of my childhood, and as an adult little seemed as thrilling as playing a colonial marine in co-op mode with a bunch of other aliens fans, creeping around the dark with just the motion detector beeping at us to tell us we're all about to die. how could they have screwed up such a simple idea...

And why don't you give Chris Roberts some more money, fool.

When the resident Star Citizen fanboy isn't defending the game... we know something is seriously wrong.

Lying Chris Roberts poos out another drop of shit … then asks for more money. (Yep there are more ship sales going on)

- God that engine is an unoptimized piece of shit. They have an FPS counter going when the marine is walking through literally an empty room with no textures etc, and it's barely breaking 40fps. :\

The low poly 'soldier' in a low poly room with basic textures who can barely walk without crashing the framerate is hilarious to me. Ooh, you can rotate his hand! This is what 6 years and $180 million gets us?

Are you serious? Do you even know how much fraud goes on in online games where they use stolen credit cards, drug money used to buy debit cards, use those for in-game items, then sell those items and cash out?

Not a single person in here has touched on the specific "copied" aspects that are likely to come up in the case.

Beyond the 100 player, large map, random looting, last-man-standing, BR genre...

-map displaying upcoming in-bounds "circle" and shrinking out-of-bounds circle

when in the out of bounds circle the player takes increasing damage depending on the game phase

-players are flown over the map in a randomized straight line on a plane (flying bus in Fortnite), they then parachute out and guide themselves to the ground

I'm not saying any of these are strong enough to build a case on... but that y'all are missing the mark on "you can't copyright a last-man-standing DM" or talking about art assets and other such things.
There are very specific mechanics that PUBG can make a reasonable claim to seeing as how they hired the creator who first brought about these mechanics in the ARMA 2 mod-of-a-mod DayZ: Battle Royale, and then licensed those ideas to H1Z1 for their King of the Hill product. Case has a lot of parallels to the Valve-hired DOTA mod makers vs LoL etc. etc. situation that went down.

Facebook.

It is silencing activism against the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

An example of the things Companies should not have the ability to do.

Does this Star Citizen update run faster than 5 frames per second? Dare I download 50 GB to find out?
