That's the core issue right there.

It's not whether or not this game will come out..
It's not whether or not they will deliver on the tech.

It's simply...will this game be any sustained fun?

What an utter nonsense, man! You act like I was attacking some harmless part of their culture, like music or kitchen. I was specifically targeting something I think isn't helpful.

OK, but what do you actually think I mean with "non-issue"? Do you really think I think cops shooting innocent black people a non-issue, or do you think I mean that it is not systemic as the data shows? There's also no evidence that the actual wrongful shootings are because of racism, exceptions notwithstanding. People like Colin want it to be racism and evidently desperately so.

I think I know better than you what my thoughts were back then, bud. I no longer agree with how I expressed myself, but I know what I meant back then. In a particular corner of black culture there's still very much an us/them way of looking out into the world. Same goes for white culture, but that white corner is a taboo and rightly so. I just think it should be the same thing for that part of black culture. Equality. Unity. I have a few black friends and one of them is actually one of my best buddies. That says a lot about me. Don't let the meme that it does not, fool you.

Typical, the way you evade my actual comment. No substance whatsoever regarding it. Steel-manning your opposition is something you fellas don't do. Instead, let's search for comments of the guy I want to destroy that can drag him through the mud, even if said comments are 6 fucking years old. And even said comment can only be interpreted as something not good because I didn't add the #notall disclaimer. My intention in the comment was clearly a call for unity instead of keeping a wedge between two cultures.

Yeah, I don't quite get the outrage over this either. There's a very rare reward out there for those who do play a ton / professionally / have a lot of money. It doesn't affect those who don't have it.

From a personal note, there's no way I would ever go back to 7. That OS, even the 64-bit flavor, is nowhere near as stable as 10. In the entire time I've used Win10 64-bit, I've had one BSOD, and NVIDIA drivers caused that during its installation (it hasn't happened since).

The hate towards FO76 was never really warranted, even at launch. Its biggest flaw was that it was a multiplayer spin-off instead of FO5. That's why most of its critics never even played it. However, it actually plays very much like FO4. You still spend the majority of your time exploring, killing, scavenging and crafting. There are still NPCs, they're just robots. There are still tons of interesting POIs and lore to discover too. As with any BGS game, there are bugs and the UI is still awful but at least mods help with the latter.

The prices in the Epic game store are much higher than Steam.

Steam has failed to innovate,

While the Steam client is a dog, that's a reflection of the fact that there is no leadership at Valve to make it a priority. But saying "failed to innovate" is silly hyperbole : Workshop. Linux gaming. Friends/games/community integration. Steambox. Controller integration. Steam Controller. SteamVR. 3rd party keys. Which other storefronts have these failures of innovation?

Grow the fuck up. This is how you grow your business. People were green with rage when they had to install some barely working, piece of shit 3rd party software called STEAM so they could play Half Life 2.

I feel like the layoff comment was added to increase the emotional response, they were most likely planning to do the layoffs regardless

Yeah, except it isn't for marketing.
I would bet real money that they are going to use a considerable part of that money to port the game to consoles.

Chris Roberts has always said he would consider a console release but that the current hardware isn't up to the task. It's not something that has ever been hidden from the community and the game already has controller support.

Marketing is a major expense, especially when Chris Roberts promised all crowdfunding for the game would go towards development. This allows them to promote the game to a large audience when the game is much closer to release. If you want to see a conspiracy where there isn't one then that's entirely up to you.

Now you know what the C in cj stands for. Anyone that doesn't think there will be significant marketing costs is fooling themselves.
From the looks of things the game is coming along nicely and appears to be ahead of schedule for something of it's scope. Time will tell.

Yeah, except it isn't for marketing. That's just another Chris Roberts lie out of a billion more.

I would bet real money that they are going to use a considerable part of that money to port the game to consoles. That's the only way to substantially increase their customer base and to generate the much needed additional income to cover more years of SC development.
They have to expand their customer base big time and the only way is to tap the conslow market.

Chris is going to use the excuse that he could not foresee in 2012 how long it would take (immershun, fideliteh, the usual blahblah) and also how he could not predict how awesome the PS5 and the next Xbox was gonna be. When those are revealed he is going to praise the fuck out of them and maybe even sign some deals with MS and/or Sony. Guaranteed.

CJ_Parker wrote on Dec 23, 2018, 15:34:
I mean, their real motivation is pretty clear as they obviously want to add more value to their EA Access subscription service while maybe reviving the C&C franchise at the same time but it would still be pretty cool to get a less pixellated original C&C with some QoL improvements.

CIG says their switch to Amazon's Lumberyard engine made these complaints irrelevant,

This seems weird?

So if I sign a contract with someone to use their product and to promote it, I can then just say "Yeah but I went with another product, so it's not valid anymore!" That seems very odd. What's to keep a professional athlete from breaching a contract this way? "Sure, I signed with the Dodgers saying I'd play for them for six years, but I'm playing for the Yankees now, so that's an irrelevant complaint."

Very, very weird.
