Star Citizen has a disastrously laggy stream with horrendous vibes, which isn't a great look when you're past $1 billion in funding (www.pcgamer.com)

did it surprise me that Star Citizen is still a buggy mess? no, I expected as much.

What surprised me was the sheer unprofessional-ism from everyone involved in that stream minus the Ollie guy. That Jared is a HUGE douche nozzel and if he ever worked on one of my teams and acted that way towards other employees I'd throw is ass out of the door. the fact he acts this way on a LIVE stream is truly mind blowing. I mean your company is funded literally by the people watching your stream and you act this way? The tree other devs sitting there couldn't give a rats ass about any of this. They know the game is broken, they know the game will never get released, but why should they care as long as they get paid? they know it's a joke and treat it as such.

If you continue to pledge/support this game you're a bigger idiot than the people on that stream.

    Yep, you’re totally right.

    leading to a deeply uncomfortable moment where Jared Huckaby, content director on the game, leans behind Hull and says: "We're at time—it's your show, wrap it up."

    Doing this to someone in public is something a dickhead would do. When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.

    what's even more of a dick move is in the beginning it was all "we" "us" "the team" etc and then when things go south, as those fucking idiots SHOULD have expected it would, suddenly it's "your show".

    These people aren't building a game for market. They're a bunch of children that have managed to covince other children to give them money to the tune of $1billion dollars. I mean hell you can look at their pledge tracker for the proof in the pudding. the stream was august 3rd and 2-3 days later players pledged another $500k in a day. ONLY NOW that people picked up on the fact that this steam even happened are people ranting and raving over it.

    Just take a look at the starcitizen subreddit. Someone should study that subreddit because everyone there has stockholm syndrome. So many posts of "maybe now they'll start to produce something" like these fools are going to KEEP giving them money.

    Just provide a user base the bare minimum with pretty graphics and the cash will flow.
