It's not feature creep when people are paying you extra to add more features. Take a look at the old crowdfunding goals if you don't believe me.

do you doubt the words of CR?

Nooooooo! You just went full Smart! Never go full Smart!

I still can't get over the irony of the fact that the guy who lied about being in MENSA also pretended to have a PHD in... artificial intelligence!

Well as i said between the self-proclaimed troll and the megalomaniac DS and CR do make for epic entertainment.

What irks me the most is that the things that Ds put forwards as "news" and his own deep insights thanks to being a industry veteran is the same that we have voiced since day one one of the KS.... Nothing new under the sun.

Not really, the full release of SC was always planned to be no sooner than late 2016, meaning about 4-5 years in development total, which is perfectly acceptable for a triple A game. They could delay it for a year or more and they'd still be faster than half of the respected big name developers.

The original estimated release date was 11/2014. CR then tried to pack every conceivable feature, polish every single polygon, and it caused delay. That is the definition of feature creep. The original plan was to release a modest game, then add to it afterward. For a long time in the beginning CIG themselves would say the funding goals wouldn't delay the release because they goals weren't promised to be completed BEFORE the release. OF course, why would they release the game on time when they are making a crap-ton of money selling digital pictures. What he's done now is turn it into a full blown big publisher smoke and mirror campaign. I think this is what DS exposed. DS is going to have a field day with them. Feel kind of bad for CIG but they made their own bed...

Now what i am looking forward to is when all these very expensive ships becomes available in-game for very resonable prices that will not take a lifetime to grind up.

Because that is what will have to happen in order to get a healthy userbase.

That will be spectacular.

Man...I really wanted to play Battlecruiser 3000AD. Is it gonna be out soon?

LAWL. Nearly spit my coffee out at my computer screen when I read that.

Derek smart is still a thing though? I thought he would have faded into obscurity by now, but I guess the internet has kept his bloviations on life support. Sad.

No he just called to action a class action lawsuite against the team behind StarCitizen due to unfulfilled obligations calling for a federal investigation of their finances....

It is not that the internet have not forgotten him... It is that he makes sure he is not forgotten.. =P
