It's been the same "vision" since the late 90s - the CPU is the computer and everything else is peripherals.

Intel can't afford to keep making GPUs because it doesn't have the reliable CPU side to soak up the losses. The GPU market has established players and Intel, besides being a big name, didn't bring much to the table to build a place for itself in the market. Outside of good Linux support (I've heard, but not personally used) the Intel GPUs don't stand out for price or performance.

Intel is struggling with its very existence and doesn't have the money or time to explore new markets when their primary product is cratering their own revenue. Intel has a very deep problem with how it is run and will most likely be unable to survive as-is for much longer.

The idea is to remove weather as a risk for farming. It's remarkably hard making reliable predictions for yields with climate change on the horizon.

Fascists watching fascists. These idiots will excite each other until someone too fragile gets hurt and throws hands.

I love this game. It is in the same vein as Townscaper or Tiny Glade, where the object is to build a town without being limited by any statistics like money or happiness - just build something that you like. The recent update for adding little flying cars to travel through between the skyscrapers has reinvigorated my city building enjoyment.

Nature uses bright colors to signal to predators that they are dangerous. Notice the extreme rosy red cheeks, yellow crown, and blood red glowing eyes - each signalling danger.

Stupid, sexy mole Flanders.

I approve the use of seagulls as the absolute lack of morality, an all terrain nightmare creature born of pure id.

Mods have always been free, a labor of love from the community for the community. Fuck paying for mods. I don't give a fuck if the modders get paid - they mod because they love the game and want to participate in their own way. Modding has ALWAYS been this way and requiring a financial transaction to be a part of the community is scummy. Whatever your beliefs are, they belong only to you and Todd.

Is that the thinking? Like a child in the back of class, desperate for attention and confused about why other people don't want to just be obnoxiously loud.

No, folks don't see any headline and think "that's how I will vote." This is the mental ability of an infant who just got object permanence.

Ghoulish parasites that feast on the misery of their neighbors.

Love that high-G architecture.

Because they can't hit the sky.

Damn, I just recently learned that my stories about growing up are considered trauma dumps by my partner. It makes sharing stories of getting through childhood something I can't talk about anymore. It's hard to talk to people when so much of what forged me was the heat of short tempers.

Two months ago they released it: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1eo7m5w/the_new_hauling_missions_are_a_ton_of_fun_but/

Why you hate this game is a mystery. It hasn't done anything to you and is working to fulfill the promises it made. But you are acting like a 3 year old child who wants it immediately and fuck the waiting.

All of the complaints against Star Citizen and CiG are made by folks who don't understand how games are made AND believe the people who make them, like Randy Pitchford, Peter Molyneux, Emoji Imagine, and others. Game designers talk about all the features that they want and then meet reality and have to pull those features back or cut them from the game.

A publisher traditionally puts limits and deadlines on funding, requiring a developer to meet a criteria to get paid and continue development. The publisher will preview builds and give feedback on game mechanics or broader suggestions for game polish.

Game designers who see success begin to dream big and will eventually pitch an idea that they can't make because the money or time needed to implement the feature would prohibit the game from releasing in a timely manner. Chris Roberts made all of the Wing Commander series. He has a track record of making games that were so big and full of features that they inevitably see many features missing from the final game. Freelancer is the one everyone thinks of when they think chopped up Chris Roberts game.

Star Citizen has no publisher to guide the veteran game developer. This allows Star Citizen to change game engines 3 times, having to rebuild much of their progress each time. Any why change the game engines? They were forced to because Crytek are bitches who wanted that giant pile of crowdfunding Star Citizen has gathered. Crytek forced the game to stop development - which is a large part of the delay in getting the game to market.

People don't know or care about the actual reason Star Citizen is still being developed instead of being released years ago. Most of you don't care, but given the circumstances, no one could do any better.

"People give them money for a game" as a business model seems to be applied evenly for everyone else except CIG and Star Citizen. They were given money by fans to make a game. It currently is playable and is in active development. You put up an example where the game has similar systems but radically different gameplay. Star Citizen has gameplay, it is a fun activity to play with friends and it has a thriving ecosystem (despite your clearly untrue claim otherwise). You don't play it, only know about it in the abstract, and don't seem to understand game development.

Hating Star Citizen feels less like genuine criticism and more like angry people grasping at a meme.
