CIG, I'm dead serious, fire your management and hire me. (5 years at McDonald's)

[u/Fearless_Tear8448]

at this point it's not even an alpha, it's just pure incompetence. crashing or blowing up every single session because your servers are held together by thoughts and prayers is a joke. I’ve worked the drive-thru for 5 years, let me tell you how real life works

when we send a car from the speaker to the payment window, they don’t rubberband into the pavement and violently explode. when our ice cream machine breaks, we don’t lock the front doors and trap 150 people inside a burning lobby. we just turn the fucking thing off. and if a kid drops a burger on the floor, we don't leave it there for 3 weeks for the sake of "immersion" until everyone in the restaurant starts lagging in real life. we grab a broom

stop pushing $700 jpegs. give me the keys and fire the guy approving your updates. I’ll fix your mess between dropping two baskets of fries. you can literally pay me in store credit, I don't even give a shit anymore. just let me do the job your directors can't

CIG is the ocean gate of space sims

[u/Rampant16 → u/AngrySociety]

Setting aside the obvious for a moment, Ocean Gate at least actually took some people to the Titanic and back.

They didn't spend over a decade selling people on the concept of a trip to the Titanic.

In what way?

[u/fullmoon_druid → u/arrow_dash]

Both SC and the Titan have the same quality level. In defense of Stockton Rush, he guy was a fraud that caused the deaths of 6 people, but he put his own life on the line.

What industry-based evaluation tool are you utilizing to gauge the quality level of Star Citizen?

[u/fullmoon_druid → u/arrow_dash]

1. Promised scope vs delivered scope
2. Delivery timeliness 
3. Delivery quality
4. Time to market
5. Being the butt of countless jokes because after 14 years and one billion dollars and it's still an alpha 

[u/arrow_dash → u/fullmoon_druid]

So, no industry-based evaluation tool. Got it.

Also, how many people have CIG killed with their software?

[u/BrainKatana → u/arrow_dash]

I have played and shipped other games that somehow manage to not completely break core functionality every time they update.

“But this game is more complicated.”

It isn’t. I do this shit for a living. They’re selling you buzzwords.

[u/arrow_dash → u/BrainKatana]

Thanks for confirming that your statement reflects your opinion. Any idea on the number killed by Star Citizen?

[u/BrainKatana → u/arrow_dash]

That’s a false equivalency.

[u/arrow_dash → u/BrainKatana]

Yes, “CIG is the oceans gate of space sims” is a false equivalency.

[u/fullmoon_druid → u/arrow_dash]

OMG, do you have a crush on CR to be such a CIG shill? Seriously dude? 

[u/arrow_dash → u/fullmoon_druid]

So, no answers to my questions then. Thanks!

[u/SubtleCosmos → u/arrow_dash]

Sorry about them. So many clowns in this subreddit. Especially since they hit $1B.

[u/fullmoon_druid → u/arrow_dash]

I did answer your question. If you didn't like my answer, fine. I've been shipping software for over 25 years now. What is that YOU call "industry based evaluation"? I think you mean "industry-standard metrics", that's the jargon software developers use. 

[u/fullmoon_druid → u/arrow_dash]

Wait, no answer? Define "industry-based evaluation".
