What tech demos are you referring to specifically and how are they not connected? I guess there's flight tech, fps tech, cargo tech, economy tech, etc, but you can walk to your ship, fly off, land somewhere, shoot guys, loot some cargo, put it on your ship, fly back to a city, and sell it, all in one go. One thing that's actually disconnected is Arena Commander, but that's specifically for people that want more traditional, arcadey pvp.

I'm sure there are a lot of people that wouldn't consider just flying around, exploring, and doing the current missions a game, but you could say something similar about early Minecraft. In sure some didn't see the point without more structure or features, but that didn't stop them from enjoying what was there and looking forward to the future

As bug ridden and feature incomplete as Star Citizen is right now, I really can't deny how beautifully detailed the ships and cities are. It is actually quite difficult to ignore.

What does "let him try and find the hard drive" really mean? Does he just want access to the landfill or is he expecting some kind of cooperation with the workers? How disruptive is he going to be?

Stat Citizen has its problems, but it's literally not vaporware since there's something available that you can download and play with.

For the record you weren't the one I was criticizing

All the snarky well-actuallys on an unserious community really make me want to browse Lemmy more

How many people that go free climbing actually fall to their deaths though? Were those people not being careful?

Good investigations take more than a week and certainly won't rely primarily on employee testimony. If things are as bad as they say, it'll come out in things like maintenance logs, environmental testing, animal health records etc.

Who okayed this article? It's just a signal boost of the Inside Gaming article with nothing new added besides anti-Cloud Imperium fluff. Also, they actually misrepresent the lieu time given, conflating the Citizencon lieu time for the Squadron 42 lieu time that has a restriction on when it can be used. As far as the original article goes, there aren't any know restrictions on the former.

Only for games made with UE, so probably doesn't affect the majority of smaller/indie games. Instead, Epic should keep the fees and reinvest in their platform since it looks and feels like EA's Origin circa 2015.
