this game is a big milk everyone for as long as possible scheme

Scolioz

release a million "modules" and charge everyone for each one.....  until the game is finally "finished" in the year 2030...

Scolioz

they say they need 1 million dollars to model 1 ship model    LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL   go fund that next million dollar ship model.  Crow funding is the biggest platform ever invented to find suckers with.

I believe they are too scared to release the game cause it's going to be just another average game that they could have made for the 10% of the money they have already stolen people are going to go crazy.

Scolioz

it's a big con job

I actually believe the 1 million price tag. The number of people needed to make a ship is huge and they are not getting paid peanuts.

Scolioz

you think it costs 1 million dollars to model a ship in 3D studio max or Maya?   LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

Ofc it does. It costs as much as you say it does. Now, most people would do that for much lower sum but that doesnt change the fact it costs them as much as they say. We just dont know how much goes to blackjack and hookers.

You forgot to mention we don't know how much blow they're doing to "focus on finishing this epic game"

So what you're saying is you want someone to go through all the bugsmashers videos, forum posts etc and create a nice little report that will give you all the info in one place. Using their own time, for free.

Does that really sound like a reasonable request to you. If you want that information then educate yourself. People have told you where to find it.

They make too much money in alpha to consider releasing it.

You sir win the Cupie Doll !

LOL @Herase is interested, even me on this case, to know where that number comes from.

It's obvious BS. No such statement existed.

Ships are worked on mostly by one person at a time, it's a very templated process.

I don't have the link in font of me,but i know i saw mention of them outsourcing the ship builds.
If there was a number of 1 million it would have been construed to be 1 million in total outsourcing but meant to deceive people into thinking anything otherwise.

One person/modeler can most certainly design a ship but i would assume at least 2-3 per.Once the templates are in place for data and it is simply a case of entering the parameters,it becomes a revolving door,much easier beyond the first build.
None of it matters to me,all i know is there has been NO EXCUSE to not have a released game out,they can do add on stuff later after the game is on it's way.Robert's simply sees this as a never ending supply of money,no way does he want to change anything right now as he is making a solid living off of gamer's money with nobody to answer to.

Too bad so many people ruin it for everyone else.Devs see this kind of stuff the same way they looked at Wow,they see it as the money ticket,an easy route to copy/follow to strike it rich.This was however a VERY easy market,the only competition really was Eve,an outdated one dimensional game revolving around ISK,pretty easy to step in with nothing more than promises.

If people were half as intelligent as they are willing to throw around money,this stuff would never happen,devs would be held accountable to their REAL investor's,not these fake ones they  try to fool people into thinking they are special.Look at how many mobile games copied the same formula for making loads of money,everything in gaming is a copy cat,they see someone get rich and tons of clones soon arise.

No there is no such number, this just sensationalist BS, likely from the stretch goals.

And no, they are not outsourced.

It's an hommage, not a copy.
